A member asked:

I had a pap recently. normal results. however, my report showed candida present. my doctor did not treat me for a yeast infection. should i make another appointment? he saw my results before they were released to my patient portal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do as you wish. However, candida are yeast that are present normally in your GI tract & may enter the genital tract in small numbers. Finding them on a microscopic exam would not by itself be a reason to treat. If you had white/cottage cheese like discharge it would indicate a yeast overgrowth needing treatment.
