Preparation for the study

General

Culture is performed for aerobic bacteria.

Detailed for women

The test should not be performed:
- during menstruation,
- during treatment with antibiotics,
- during treatment with vaginal preparations (globules, creams),
- when irrigations are used,
- within 48 hours after the last sexual intercourse.
On the day of the test, the genital area should be washed without using soap or intimate hygiene gels.
If treatment has been used, a 3-5 day break is recommended between the end of treatment
and the performance of the test.

Important

An antibiogram is also performed as part of the culture. If the bacteria constitute a natural bacterial flora, not forming the basis for an antibiogram, then it is not performed.
Antibiogram is performed when we get the growth of pathogenic bacteria (responsible for the infection)-where the inflammatory process is going on.

If further microbiological diagnosis is required, the time for issuing the result may be prolonged.
