How long will it take to confirm a yeast infection........vulval swabbing vs a urine test? which one has the potential to be the quickest?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Office testing: Urine is not the way to detect a vaginal yeast infection. It can be detected through a physical exam immediately. Rarely is a culture needed.
