Stimulant laxatives are a common class of laxatives that is abused by patients with eating disorders. We present a case of a 30-year-old female who presented with dyspnea, peripheral edema and weight gain who had been chronically using laxatives. Her symptoms were consistent with rebound edema caused by sodium and free water shifts with abrupt cessation of excessive stimulant laxative use. This case highlights the use of furosemide as the mainstay treatment for rebound edema and weight gain.
刺激性泻药是一类常见的泻药，被饮食失调患者滥用。我们报告一例30岁女性病例，该患者长期使用泻药后出现呼吸困难、外周水肿和体重增加。她的症状与因突然停止过度使用刺激性泻药导致钠和游离水转移引起的反弹性水肿一致。该病例强调了使用呋塞米作为反弹性水肿和体重增加的主要治疗方法。
