Hi!
If the abortion pills you took resulted in a complete abortion and your menses have been regular after that, then no need to worry.Less chances of any chances of problems in conceiving in next pregnancy.
Also,the itching in the vaginal area is most likely due to fungal infection,common in girls using public toilets.Kindly keep good local hygiene,clean your private parts with a mild vaginal wash many of which are present over the counter.
Also,wear only cotton clothes esp undergarments,dry them in the hot sun,and discard them every 2-3 mths.
Some kind of vaginal discharge is common in every female esp in the midcycle or before menses,but if it is itchy or foul smelling then it implies vaginal infection.
You should use condom to minimise infection during intercourse and use vaginal pessaries for your current infection.

Hi!
The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative.
A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abortion pills.
Vaginal pessaries are pills inserted in the vagina at bedtime to treat vaginal infection for 5 days or even uptil 7 days depending on the severity of your condition.
Yes unclean public toilets can lead to your current problem
Intercourse can be painful if your present condition continues so you can consult a gynae for check up.
