Note: While this is an unverified, a Hanoi pharmacist has told us that yeast infections in Vietnam are fairly common due to the low-quality tap water. When women wash or douche themselves with the water, they may develop yeast infections. While this cannot be entirely avoided, it's something to remember.

In Vietnam, abortion became fully legal since reunification in 1975. Since that time, and especially since the 1980s, the country has had a rather high abortion rate. Between 1982 and 1994, the abortion rates rose six-fold. In 1996, the abortion rate was 83.3 abortions per 1000 women. In 2014, it was reported that 40% of pregnancies end in abortion. As reported: "Sexual behaviour among young Vietnamese has radically transformed in the last few decades -- they have sex earlier and marry later -- but the state's old-fashioned family planning services offer little advice or suitable contraception to young, unmarried couples, experts say.As a result they suspect that abortion -- permitted up to 22 weeks and widely available, particularly at legal but largely unregulated private clinics -- is being used to prevent unwanted pregnancies more often than in other countries." <ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-2848236/Sky-high-abortions-Vietnam-family-planning-excludes-youth.html Sky-high abortions in Vietnam as family planning excludes youth]</ref>
