Patient's question:
I had a TCT test and it showed bacterial vaginosis with normal results for both gardnerella and HPV. The doctor prescribed nitrofurantoin and erythromycin capsules, but they wouldn't insert properly. So, I was also given a vaginal () to use for two weeks, and then I need to have a colposcopy. I want to know if it's necessary to have a colposcopy.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your condition is considered to be bacterial vaginosis, with fungal infection being ruled out. The onset may be related to your body's weakened immunity. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for medication and treatment. The doctor suggests a careful examination with a vaginal mirror, as this can provide a more direct view of how to treat and recover. If you do not wish to undergo the examination, that is also acceptable.
