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 12 weeks pregnant and went for my NT scan today. The ultrasound tech told me my baby's not in the right position to see its face. She tried twice with a 10-minute break in between, but it still didn't work. She said I should come back in the evening and if we still can't see anything, try again in a couple of days. She mentioned sometimes the baby's position isn't ideal for the scan, so it might take a few tries. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

-It's completely normal for the baby to be in a position that makes it difficult to get the right angle for the NT scan. Babies move around a lot, especially early on, so it may take a few tries to get the correct position. Don't worry, the ultrasound tec
