A member asked:

I had a vaginal culture done but i used a cream from the treatment from my vaginal infection 3 nights before, does it affect the result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Most people today use dna testing to identify organisms that cause vaginitis. If the agent(s) causing the vaginitis were partially or completely treated, the test may be negative.
