Itchiness in miss v, wondering if is an infection after abortion

Hi doctor, m 26. I was aborted my 1st baby on end of January this year and because of some personal issues I was unable to go for the follow up check ups after abortion. Now almost for 1 week I got some inches in my private part and it is so painful. There is also some uncomfortable smell in my private part. I wonder is this because of the infection after abortion? Please advise me what I should do next. M totally confused

Hi there. Thank you for your question.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms which are itchiness, pain around the private area as well as smelly discharge from the vagina. From your complaints, we believe that it is possible for your your condition be due to infection. This is because if there’s still remnant of fetus in the womb, it is a good medium for bacterial colonization and next cause infection.

Nevertheless your condition could be due:

  • Bacterial vaginosis that happen due to imbalance of bacterial colonization in the vagina

  • Candidiasis due to candida albicans

  • Chlamydia due to chlamydia trochomatis

  • Gonorea due to Nisseria Gonorrhoea

  • Trichomoniasis due to trichomonas vaginalis

  • HPV due to Human Papiloma Virus (HPV)

  • Herpes due to Herpes Simplex virus

However, this is just a general answer to your question. I would advice you to refer this to your nearest medical doctor as soon as possible in order for you to get accurate diagnosis because additional details regarding your current complaints are needed. And only from there you can receive the appropriate treatment for your condition.
