A member asked:
I have bacterial gastroenteritis and diarrhea just got inside my vagina... will this harm my 7.2 week old fetus? will it infect my womb? help?

Unlikely: I often tell patients that women's holes are close together and it is easy to get cross contamination. Take a bath and that should help with the diarrhea in the vagina. Chances are it did not go very deeply and not enough to create any harmful problems for baby.
