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.

My mom's ultrasound report shows a cyst in her left ovary and a small appendicolith measuring 92.3 mm. Can this be treated with medicine or is surgery the only option?

For an ovarian cyst, treatment options range from observation and medication to surgery depending on size and symptoms. Small cysts may resolve on their own, while larger or symptomatic cysts might require surgical removal or other interventions. For an appendicolith (a stone in the appendix), treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the size of the stone. Options include observation, antibiotics, or surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy).

I'm curious if having my uterus removed could lead to heart disease or heart failure down the road. My ovaries are still there and functioning normally. Do I need to worry about any heart-related issues because of this?

Heart disease and heart failure can still occur even after the removal of the uterus as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. The risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity can still contribute to heart issues. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In case of any symptoms or concerns, medications like Aspirin and Statins can be prescribed to manage heart conditions.

I'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?

Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.
