A member asked:

Vaginal culture came back with streptococcus b (+2 million) what does that mean? is it infection? not pregnant, was exp burning and frequent urination

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Group B Strep: Lives in the vagina and GI tract. If you had urinary burning symptoms and frequency, it may have been causing a urinary tract infection. (Although 70% of the time it is E. coli that causes UTIs). I always like to correlate the urinalysis with the urinary culture. You have a vaginal culture - which is different. You're not pregnant now so you don't have to worry about the baby with Group B Strep.
