Predominance of Coccobacilli

I had my first pap smear last month and when the result came out, I have a severe infection. According to my pap smear comments, I had severe inflammation abundant neutrophils and predominance of coccobacilli consistent with shift in vaginal flora.

My obgyne prescribed to take doxycycline for 7 days to be taken twice a day. She also give me neo-penotran (metrodinozole), a vaginal suppository for 7 days. This suppository should be inserted into the vagina up to the cervix before going to bed.

At first, I was hesitant to insert it because it is my first time to do it, but I want to get rid of my infection so I have no choice but to insert it. If you prefer to use you hand, be sure to wash it properly to avoid any other infection

After one week of treatment, I don’t have any heavy vaginal discharge. Before my pap smear, I never thought that I have bacterial vaginal infection because I don’t feel any pain, itch and burning while urinating. I just only noticed that I have an excessive amount of yellowish vaginal discharge.
