Need : Full pelvic exam is required to be sure that there is no hidden infection. It's best to follow up with your primary care doctor obstetrician/gynecologist.

Vaginitis?: The dipstick is usually for urine. There shouldn't be ketones in vaginal discharge. If the ph of your vagina is 8, you should see a doc -- that's not normal and you probably have bacterial vaginosis and need an antibiotic.
