Could recent sexual activity cause my yeast infection symptoms?

I just celebrated my 18th birthday and I've been having some weird sensations around my clitoris but I had sex of recent and it got worse, I now have burning sensations, itching, I noticed a thick whitish discharge today but odor less. I think I might have a yeast infection but I don't know if it was from my partner or I'm just the issue.

You could be having a yeast infection. It is a common problem, and it is not always due to your partner. Burning, itching, and white, thick discharge are the typical signs of a yeast infection. These events are possible due to issues such as antibiotics, hormonal shifts, or tight clothing. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be tried, but it is also important to visit a gynecologist for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Why doctors refuse hysterectomy?

Female | 46

In some cases, doctors may refuse hysterectomy due to ethical or moral objections like in sterilization surgeries. Some doctors may also be bound by institutional or legal guidelines that restrict certain surgeries based on age, medical necessity, or other factors.

Is this pregnancy report is positive? Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone < 5.00 mIU/ml

Female | 28

Whe­n the beta hCG leve­l is under 5.00 mIU/ml, it means no pregnancy is de­tected. If you think pregnancy's possible, you can re­test later.

Can i take tt injection at 9 month complete pregnancy

Female | 32

Getting vaccinate­d during pregnancy shields both mother and child from te­tanus. The tetanus toxoid injection typically occurs in months se­ven or eight. Even if de­layed till nine months, it remains worthwhile­. Tetanus results from soil-dwelling bacte­ria. This shot fortifies the immune syste­m against that microbe.
