How can I get twins?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A woman has a higher chance of having twins if she conceives with the assistance of fertility treatment or is aged 35 years or over.A woman has a slightly higher chance of having twins if she has a family history of twins. A family history of twins on the mother’s side increases this likelihood more than a family history on the father’s side. However, this only applies if conception takes place without the use of fertility treatments.

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.
