Question 1

is it dangerous to have an abnormal papsmear during 11th week of pregnancy and a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Check with your HCP: Wait until after 14 weeks to treat the yeast infection. Speak with your doctor about the safest local treatment and scheduling a colposcopy for the abnormal pap smear. This is a painless procedure which allows her/him to take a closer look at the cervix through a magnifying device. Generally, biopsy of the cervix is not indicated during pregnancy unless your hcp determines it is advisable.

Question 2

fever due to an ear infection , can it be dangerous during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to be a pbm: The common low grade temperatures for an ear infection are unlikely to cause any issue with pregnancy.We have more concerns with fevers that are part of a generalized flu or viral infection especially during the first 12 wks(when the virus could get to baby), or were someone to cook themselves in a hot tub daily during that period.

Question 7

what doctors to see for infection during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depend on details: That would depend on who is taking care of the pregnancy, and what type of infection a patient is talking about. People can get an infection of some sort involving any part of the body. Sometimes, people have 2 infections at a time, such as a viral influenza infection and a bacterial middle ear infection. Details matter. If unsure, one can call her primary care doctor to ask about who to see.

Sure: GP's take care of common infections every day. That's one of the main reasons why people go to see their GP's. If the GP is taking care of the pregnancy, then minor gynecological infections such as vaginal infections can be taken care of by the GP. The GP can also refer to the Ob-Gyn doctor if an infection is pregnancy-related and the Ob-Gyn doctor is taking care of the pregnancy too.
