What is Vulvar Culture and Sensitivity?
This test identifies bacteria or fungi causing infections in the vulvar area. It helps determine the specific microbe responsible for symptoms like itching, burning, or unusual discharge.
Why is this test important?
It's crucial for diagnosing vulvovaginitis, yeast infections, or bacterial vaginosis. The sensitivity part helps doctors choose the most effective antibiotics or antifungals for treatment.
How to Prepare
Avoid using vaginal creams, douches, or engaging in sexual intercourse for at least 24-48 hours before the test, as these can affect results.
