Question : My Wifes OB-GYN did a Test and told her she has Trech. I have not had Sex with any other Woman. And she has not been with another man. Could this test be wrong. She might have BV.
Brief Answer:
Can have infection otherwise also.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The best way to diagnose a vaginal infection is to get a vaginal swab culture done. An infection can be present without a sexual transmission also. Vaginal fungal infections are very common. No need to worry. Wait for the detailed results and start with the proper treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
