I've been taking nitrofurantoin and now I'm on my last day, but even though the painful urination has stopped, I'm starting to get this itchy feeling down there, and I've noticed three small cuts on the skin between my vagina and anus. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or something else?

I'm 6 months pregnant and my gynecologist mentioned getting a cervical cerclage because I've had previous abortions. I've been having stomach and groin pain. I also had an ASD device closure in October 2020 and am currently taking Ecosprin 75. Do you think it's safe for me to proceed with the cervical cerclage? Could there be any complications I should be aware of?

This procedure can help prevent premature birth and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. To help with the pain in your stomach and groin, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Since you are already taking Ecosprin 75, continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor to prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the placenta. Make sure to follow your gynecologist's advice and attend all recommended prenatal check-ups for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

I'm a bit concerned after finishing my medication with the abortion pill because I'm 4 weeks pregnant and it's been 3 days since I took the misoprostol, but I've only had some spotting and not much bleeding. Does this mean the abortion process isn't complete? I also still feel mild cramps like I'm on my period sometimes. Could you help clarify this for me?

After 48 hrs of taking Mesoprostol,you will see proper clots falling out,if at all those were not seen,only spotting is noted,thatis incomplete abortion,get a scan done for fetal viability and visit gynaecologist for appropriate approach
