View allI'm really concerned about what's going on with my vulva. It feels really itchy and sensitive, and I've noticed I keep getting these cuts or tears where my labia minora attaches. Sometimes they even bleed. The area around my vulva, especially where the hair starts, is really dry and looks white, plus it's super itchy. There's this white layer covering the vulva, and the whole area seems unusually dry. On top of that, there's a foul smell that I can't ignore. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection or a bacterial infection in the vulva area. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using scented products or harsh soaps. If the symptoms persist, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because they found a single echogenic intracardiac focus in the left ventricle on my 17-week ultrasound. What does this mean for my baby, and what steps should we take next? Can it lead to complications or is this something common?
Single echogenic intracardiac focus in a fetus at 17 weeks gestation is a common finding on ultrasound. It is usually a benign condition and often resolves on its own. However, further evaluation may be recommended to rule out any underlying issues. I would suggest a follow-up ultrasound in the third trimester to monitor the intracardiac focus. Additionally, a fetal echocardiogram can be done to assess the structure and function of the fetal heart in more detail. There is no specific treatment required for a single echogenic intracardiac focus, but close monitoring by your healthcare provider is important to ensure the health and development of the fetus. If you have any concerns or questions, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I'm a bit worried because I had a D&C procedure just for a scan to check for any remains after two weeks. Then I had to repeat it with the suction method. Is it normal that I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been almost three weeks? Am I safe?
Based on your description, it seems like you underwent a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure followed by a repeat procedure using suction. It is normal for your menstrual cycle to be irregular or delayed after such procedures. However, if you are concerned about the delay in receiving your menses, you should consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. They may prescribe medications such as Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) to help induce your period.
