I'm having these really painful vaginal pimples since the start of this month. They look like normal pimples, disappear after about a week, but then come back again after 2 or 3 days. This has already happened to me three times within this month. Is this something normal, or should I see a gynecologist about it?

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and recently had my level 2 scan which showed an echogenic focus in the left ventricle. They found another echogenic focus measuring 3.5mm during a fetal echo. I've been trying to conceive for 5 years and finally succeeded with IVF, so I'm really stressed about this. Is this something serious? Can you help me understand what this means?

An echogenic focus in the fetal heart is a common finding during pregnancy ultrasounds. In most cases, it is considered a normal variant and not a cause for concern, especially if all other parameters are normal. However, given your history of IVF conception and the size of the echogenic focus at 3.5mm, it is important to monitor it closely. I recommend discussing this finding with your obstetrician. They may suggest further follow-up ultrasounds to track the size and appearance of the echogenic focus. In most cases, no treatment is needed, and it often resolves on its own. Just continue with your regular prenatal care and follow your doctor's recommendations for a healthy pregnancy.
