How To Treat UTI And Yeast Infection?
Hi. I had an ectopic pregnancy last November and since then I have been having hair growth on my chin and neck and a thick discharge, that is odourless and sometimes yellow. The hairs are now thick, but they are increasing all the time. Can you tell me what is the cause of this? I am 35 years old, the mother of two teenage children, my height is 5'7 and 145lbs ( recently reduced my weight from 155lbs). I have had no problems medically in the past, except for a urinary tract infection and have had a few yeast infections before.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Abnormal hair growth would be called hirsuitism. This is hair growth in women in parts of the body where hair does not normally grow.
The most causes are: (1) PCOS- polycystic ovarian syndrome
(2)side effect of medication particularly steroids
(3)cushings- disease associated with increased steroid release in the body
(4)agromegaly- too much growth hormone
(5)tumor
The discharge is likely a yeast infection which can be treated with oral or topical antifungals.
It may not be related to the hair growth
It may be best to see your doctor for assessment and treatment.
I hope this helps
