Hi, I found out that I m 5 weeks pregnant about 4 days ago. I was having slight pains in the abdomin area. So I went to the hospital and turn out I was pregnant. Dr. recommended a vaginal ultrasound and ever since I ve been itchy and my inside is red and swollen. Is this normal? I m very quite worried. Also I have been discharging white liquid that turns into white cottage type. I need help in what this can be.
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. The origin of your present complaint dates to the time of your sonogram. Your symptoms do suggest a fungal vaginitis. This has perhaps been caused by the instrumentation you had during the sonogram or improper cleaning later on. You should immediately see your health care provider, get a proper examination and initiate treatment to control the infection. Vaginal medication is preferable since you are in the early stages of pregnancy and antifungal medications are not advisable orally. Do not douche or use strong soap solutions; use lukewarm water to clean the genital region. Hope this helps.
