A member asked:

What does it mean if my vaginal culture came out positive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May need treatment: Depending on the type of culture, a positive result may mean that you need treatment. Please speak with the doctor that ordered the test. They should be able to let you know what the culture was positive for, and if you need treatment.
