Ask Dr. Kate: How do I get rid of bacterial vaginosis?
By Dr. Kate, The Daily Bedpost, on Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:35pm PDTDear Dr. Kate, On my last visit to my GYN, my Pap smear was abnormal. I was treated for a yeast infection, which I didn't think I had, and bacterial vaginosis. The next Pap test was normal. I am on birth control so my husband doesn't "pull out."

Myth of the Month: Ovarian Cysts are Always Dangerous
By Dr. Kate, The Daily Bedpost, on Wed Mar 12, 2008 1:06pm PDTDoctors--even yours truly--can be lazy. I don't mean in how many hours they work (which is a lot) or how hard they work to treat patients (which is really hard).
