Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have just had an abnormal pap for the second year in a row. The first year, I did a colposcopy which came back negative. This year my pap again indicated high risk HPV and my doctor has had me schedule another colposcopy. These are very painful for me and I want to do everything possible to help my body heal itself, which is why I have looked into alternative forms of treatment. I have found something called "vag pak" which I asked my Dr about, but she declined to look at the ingredients and verify for me that it would be safe to try. I know traditional medicine does not recognize alternative treatments, but I want to do something besides repeat paps and colposcopies. I just want a Dr to confirm for me that "vag pak" would be safe to try, because I'm assuming that even if it doesn't work it is worth trying and wouldn't cause any harm to do so.
