I'm worried about a yeast infection after having a medical abortion last month. I took three pills of azithromycin a few days later to prevent infections, but now I've got this white discharge, itching, and some pain when I pee. Plus, there are a couple of small pimples inside my vagina. I also had rashes on my breasts and arms which went away after taking Citrizine. Is it usual to get a yeast infection after this kind of procedure, or could it be something else?

Yeast infections can occur after a medical abortion due to changes in hormone levels and the body's immune response. The symptoms you are experiencing, such as white discharge, itching, and pain while urinating, are common signs of a yeast infection. The rash on your breasts and arms may also be related to the infection. To treat the yeast infection, you can use an antifungal medication such as Fluconazole. The usual dosage is a single 150mg dose. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding irritants can help prevent further infections. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant, but I'm really anxious about the possibility of having a C-section. I had two miscarriages last year at 3 months, and although my APLA test came back negative, I'm taking ecospirin. My doctor mentioned that she won't wait beyond 38 weeks for a normal delivery because of my previous miscarriages, and I'm worried about not being able to wait for a natural birth. Is there any room to wait a bit longer for a normal delivery? Feeling confused about what to do.

I've been on the everyday birth control pills, but now my period is 9 days late. I took two pregnancy tests over the last week, and they both came back negative. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this delay. Any insights?

Consider the following potential causes: - Hormonal imbalance - Stress - Medication side effects - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - Thyroid issues Next steps: 1. Wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test. 2. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and medical history. 3. Get a blood test to check hormone levels and rule out underlying conditions.

I'm wondering if inserting two fingers into my vagina means that my hymen is broken. Does the easier insertion indicate anything specific about the state of my hymen? I'm kind of concerned and would love some insights.

Normally you can't insert a single finger also so yes it can break the hymen
