I've been using the candid vaginal suppository that my gynecologist prescribed for a couple of days. I apply it at night, but by morning I notice a heavy white discharge. Is this the medicine coming out, and is it normal?

I'm a bit worried about a possible pregnancy risk. We were involved in fingering and jerking off, and I made sure to wear a condom the whole time, and also changed it during the act. Is there any chance sperm could've transferred from my fingers when I rubbed her vagina, even though I didn't insert them? She took an i-pill just to be safe, but I'm still anxious. What are the chances of pregnancy in this situation?

no the chances s are less

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
