AnswerHello, Jayne,
It sounds like you had a surgical abortion. Is this correct? How far along were you? What medication did you insert? Did you take something by mouth, and if so, what? Your statement that you took antibiotics threw me for a loop, because antibiotics work against bacteria, and yeast is not a bacterium. I will have to do some more research when you answer my questions, so please let me know.
Unfortunately abortion itself causes damage, all kinds of damage. You are now more more susceptible to auto-immune disease, and if this is a first pregnancy in particular, your chance of getting breast cancer has increased. If you had a surgical abortion, your chance of having a baby with a severe birth defect in the future has been increased significantly. A woman often GETS an infection from the abortion itself. It is known that most abortionists in the United States do not clean or sterilize their instruments properly, so a woman can even get a sexually transmitted disease from a previous client. While it may be the case that you already had a yeast infection, you could have picked up something else as well, from the abortion. There are also many other kinds of damage an abortion can cause. Entire books have been written about this.
A bad odor tends to indicate there is an infection. Whatever treatment you started hasn't cured it, at least not yet.
Please let me know the answers to my questions, and I'll tell you more. Thank you.
