the doctor said that if this was not treated a.s.a.p. in time it can turn into genital warts and to get rid of this they want to paint the inside of the vagina and put a light in there and every infection they see they will scrape and cut out infection. but then why would they want me back in 6 months?

Genital warts (also known as venereal warts) are caused by a virus, the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are found on or around the penis, anus or vagina. They are small lumps which have an irregular cauliflower-like surface. The colour and shape vary depending on their location. Sometimes the warts cause irritation and itching. Genital warts are a serious health concern as certain types of HPV have been associated with cervical cancer. However, most women infected with genital warts do not have the strains of HPV that give rise to cervical cancer. Genital warts often disappear even without treatment. However, there are a range of drug treatments. Small warts can also be removed by freezing, burning or using laser treatment. Occasionally, surgery is used to remove larger warts.
One fifth of all cancers worldwide are caused by a chronic infection, for example, human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer.

The six month check is just to make sure they got everything the first time. I know it seems like a hassle but it is worth it to be sure. As far as I know, they will paint you and use the light the second time too. Please go ahead and have it done. All doctors say pretty much the same thing (about the six month follow-up) so I think it is pretty much true.
