Dr did a wet mount, been itchy. found bv, gave prescription. sent a culture as well to the lab. what does a culture look for? is bv bad to have?

BV and culture: Bv is an infection and simply needs to be treated, and is not necessarily bad or good. A culture will determine the exact bacteria and assure the treatment is covering your infection. Bv is common, you should be fine as long as you listen to the dr and take the medications they rx. Best wishes.
