A member asked:

I had gardnerella september and only had yellowish discharge and flagyl didn't treat it. now i had my pap smear come back with minor abnormalities?

Serious, not cancer: The infection you had/have can be enough to cause inflammatory changes on the pap smear. Chancers are, when the infection is clearwed up, the pap smear will too.
