Hey, I've been dealing with a recurring vaginal yeast infection. I was diagnosed with vaginitis three months back and the doctor prescribed me FAS 3 kit for one day, Cansoft CL for three nights, and I'm still using VWash. I felt better after two weeks, but the problem didn't completely go away. I took another dose of FAS 3 kit and saw my gynecologist a month later. She advised me to drink plenty of fluids and maintain good hygiene. But I've noticed the infection flares up again after my periods. Is it okay to take another dose of fluconazole? How can I get rid of this issue for good? I'm really concerned about this.

ears could be an allergic reaction to the iodine or nickel used during the plasma donation process.

Possible Causes

Iodine allergy: Iodine is commonly used to clean the skin before needle insertion. An allergic reaction to iodine can cause a rash, itching, and bumps.

Nickel allergy: Nickel is sometimes used in medical equipment, and an allergy to nickel can cause contact dermatitis, leading to a rash, itching, and bumps.

Next Steps

Considering you don't have health insurance, here are some steps you can take:

Self-care: Apply cool compresses to the affected area to reduce itching and inflammation. You can also try over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to help soothe the skin.

Monitor symptoms: Keep an eye on the rash and bumps. If they worsen, spread, or become severely itchy, seek medical attention.

Contact the plasma donation center: Reach out to the plasma donation center where you donated and inform them about the reaction. They may be able to provide guidance or offer to cover medical expenses related to the reaction.

When to Seek Medical Attention

If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention:

Severe symptoms: If the rash, itching, or bumps become severe, or if you experience difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness.

Infection signs: If you notice signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus.

Worsening symptoms: If your symptoms worsen or don't improve with self-care.

I'm looking at my wife's ultrasound report of her lower abdomen, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions that both her ovaries are showing a PCO pattern. Can you help me understand what this means? Also, it says there's no abnormal solid or cystic lesion seen, and both RO and LO measure 33x18mm. Should I be worried about any of this? What does the measurement indicate?
