What does a negative test mean?

We all know that leucorrhea examination, as a common gynecological examination method, can make a correct diagnosis of whether there are Trichomonas, fungal infection and the cleanliness of leucorrhea in the female vagina. Therefore, many women conduct routine leucorrhea examinations to eliminate the confusion caused by secretions. However, when they go to the hospital for examination, they rarely understand the examination forms. For example, the report reminds them, what does a negative result of leucorrhea examination mean? How to understand the secretion examination report? Let's take a look together below.

Generally, a negative result on the secretion examination report means that there is no infection with the tested pathogens, in other words, there is no infection-related gynecological inflammation. However, if the secretion report shows that streptococci are negative, it is not good, indicating that the cleanliness of the leucorrhea is not good, and attention should be paid to cleanliness. Clean the genitals every day, change underwear frequently, wear loose underwear, do not eat irritating food, and use medication under the guidance of a doctor when necessary.

Next, let's talk about how to understand the secretion examination report. For the secretion examination report, I think there are three new items that need to be clarified. If you understand these three new items, you will understand it.

1. Regarding the pH value on the test sheet, it is a test of the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina. When there is no infection in the vagina, the pH is generally 4.5. If there is a trichomoniasis infection or a fungal infection, the pH value will be around 5-6.

2. Cleanliness of leucorrhea. For women, the cleanliness of leucorrhea is an important data and must be clearly understood. Generally, the cleanliness of the vagina is divided into four levels. They are Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ respectively. When the test results are Ⅰ~Ⅱ, it means that the leucorrhea is normal. When the test result is Ⅲ~Ⅳ, it indicates Trichomonas vaginitis, which is an abnormal secretion and needs to be treated.

3. Data about bacteria, this is the test for fungi and Trichomonas. The number means that bacteria have been detected, but this number only means that your secretions contain this bacteria, and cannot indicate the degree of infection. Therefore, further testing is required to know the level of infection.

In short, if the routine leucorrhea examination is negative, it can basically be confirmed that it is normal leucorrhea, but if it is negative for streptococcus, it is not good and you need to pay attention to many aspects. As for the inspection report, as long as you keep these three pieces of data in mind and know them clearly, you will understand. That is: PH should be 4.5; cleanliness should be 1~2; there is no bacteria. These expressions are normal. Otherwise, there is a problem, which indicates that vaginitis may exist and needs regular inspection and treatment.
