My wife has been experiencing irregular periods for the past five months. Her usual cycle starts on the 21st, but now it's delayed by an average of about 10 days. She's also dealing with a lot of cramps and normally her period lasts 8 days, which is typical for her. Can you help us understand why this might be happening?

I'm a bit confused and worried because my last period started on October 3rd and lasted for 5 days. I ended up having unprotected sex late on the 9th and then took an emergency contraception pill the following morning on the 10th. But then on the 15th, I started spotting and it turned into really heavy bleeding for a couple of days, plus I've been having this lower abdominal pain. I'm getting nervouscould I be pregnant despite taking the pill? And is there anything I could take to help with the bleeding? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

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.
