A member asked:

Can you advise me on going to check my results from last weeks vaginal exam, he came back saying i had a bacterial infectionodd i wasn't prescribed something?

Call your doctor: It is likely that you may need antibiotics for a bacterial infection, but it is difficult to know without knowing your specific results. You should absolutely discuss the test results directly with your doctor.
