If you haven't, I really think you should... because honestly, just guessing and taking antibiotics blindly might just end up making everything much worse.
Well, my cervical swabs came back negative—and besides, I was told that Escherichia coli can't even be isolated through a cervical swab anyway. And apparently, there’s no need to bother with a vaginal swab if the cervical ones are being done, since anything present in the vagina should show up on the cervix too.
