Infection: Vaginal swabs are used to take part of the secretion or discharge in the vagina and allow it to be grown in culture. Yeast is one of the infectious agents that can cause an infection in the vagina (there are many others). This is one of the most common causes of infection, and candida is the most common species. There are many effective treatments for a "yeast" infection.

Can you have a yeast infection only in your vulvar? Inside has no discharge or irritation. KoH and gram stain show no yeast but culture came back few yeast. Is this a normal finding? Outside vagina is irritated, but inside looks normal?
