Suggest Treatment For Water Retention In Body
Question: I am obese and very bloated and retaining a lot of water. My legs are swollen. What is the best prescription diuretic I can take? Where online can I order it? Also, what is the best prescription weight loss pill (preferably an appetite suppressant)? Do you know where I can order it online?
Brief Answer:
Do not to take weight loss pills due side effects.
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I have gone through your photo, and you seem like Barbie, sweet and nice. I do not notice any sign of obesity in that photo.
Next, if your legs are swollen, it might be because of:
- kidney problems (most probably caused by chronic kidney stones)
- leg's vein occlusions (thrombosis).
The very first thing is to find out why your legs are swollen. Further lab tests might be needed:
- urine analysis
- abdominal ultrasound
- complete blood work
- liver/kidney/pancreas function tests
- electrolytes level
If the results will confirm kidney problems, immediate treatment with antibiotics is needed. Unfortunately, we cannot prescribe prescription medicines (such as antibiotics) online. It is against our laws.
Diuretics are also prescription drugs, which cannot be prescribed online. Diuretics are prescribed only if they are really needed.
With regards to losing weight, you do not need to lose weight to my opinion; you need to keep healthy as you are now. I usually do not prescribe weight loss pills to my patience as the harm caused by them is higher than the benefits you get.
Instead, if you eat healthy and keep on doing physical activity, you will succeed in losing weight (if you think you should).
All the best!
