If you are on Spironolactone (Spiro /Aldactone) the answer is yes, this is a direct effect since Spiro is a diuretic that is used to treat high blood pressure by removing water from the body and blood stream.  HRT effects of it are side effects that can be a problem for non trans people. If you are not on Spiro, then go see the doctor to find out if you have a urinary tract infection or kidney infection.  I am puzzled that you say the doctor seemed highly surprised if you are on the drug, but also worried that they did not tell you to come in for tests if they were surprised.  Either way, get in touch again and clear the issue up.

I am the same way.  But I am also drinking like 20 bottles of water daily to help keep my one kidney hydrated since spiro is a diruetic.  I am super happy that since my T is low, that we have lowered my Spiro and my doctor is trying to wing me off of spiro with the fact that I have one kidney and making sure to keep that healthy

You must drink water to keep your body happy, but soon enough you'll become use to the amount and your schedule will get back to more normal.

I'm peeing like once every 2.5 to 3 hours 24/7.

 

Spiro and finasteride both are diuretic. I just did my blood work today. First since December. Going to be interesting... Hopefully I'm leveling off...

Hi! Spiro hasn’t caused me to pee any more than usual. I guess I’m lucky? I am on a “low dosage,” so that might play into it. I hope that I am scheduled sooner than later for my orchiectomy, so I can get off of spiro. Best of luck!
