A member asked:

My doctor decided to do a colposcopy due to an irregular pap, she says as an added benefit i could have less discharge in the future. true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may be.: Discharge is often from an infection. Hpv is a virus that infects the cervix and can cause abnormal paps. Sometimes when we treat the hpv, the discharge resolves. Good luck!
