What can I do to prevent my vaginal infection from recurring?
Hi, you are not alone. It is important to find the exact cause of your recurrent vaginal infections. Are they yeast vaginal infections and/or bacterial vaginosis?

What does a watery discharge mean?

What is cerclage?
Your friend has a weak cervix, called cervical incompetence or insufficiency. Cervical cerclage is a surgical stitch placed on the cervix. It prevents the weak cervix from opening early in pregnancy, leading to miscarriage as well a premature birth. There are various methods: McDonalocedure is most popular. However, some women may be more suitable for Shiradkor procedure-a bit more complicated process. I know your friend will be careful during this pregnancy: Bedrest and abstaining from sexual intercourse will help. Good Luck! READ MORE
