When to see a doctor? in the face of a result of this type, it is advisable to discuss it in consultation, since its interpretation depends on the health status of each person and particular circumstances.
Which specialist assesses it? the urologist, the gynecologist, and the general or family practitioner can interpret the finding and advise on its meaning. Clarifying doubts with a professional avoids hasty conclusions.
