What disease can be detected by bacterial culture of leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is a physiological phenomenon caused by the shedding of the decidua around the ovaries. During ovulation, women's leucorrhea secretions will increase significantly. However, if a woman finds abnormal symptoms in her leucorrhea, such as yellow leucorrhea or the presence of foreign matter, she should go to the hospital for a leucorrhea examination in time. During the leucorrhea examination, doctors usually culture the patient's leucorrhea for bacteria. So what diseases can leucorrhea bacterial culture mainly detect?

The bacterial culture of leucorrhea is to check for bacterial infection, mainly to check for bacterial vaginitis, not to check for viruses or Trichomonas, so you need to know what to check. As a patient, you may notice that sometimes there is too much vaginal discharge, or the vaginal discharge is slightly yellow, has color, or has an odor. These may be caused by bacterial infection, so bacterial culture is needed. The doctor will take a specimen, usually vaginal secretions for bacterial culture, and send it for inspection in time after taking it. If it is delayed, some bacteria may die and the culture will fail. Therefore, as a patient, you should take a specimen and send it to the laboratory as soon as possible after taking the specimen. The result obtained in this way is more reliable and accurate. If it is negative, no bacteria can be cultured. There are bacteria in vaginal discharge, and there are more lactobacilli, but these bacteria are all normal bacteria. Therefore, doctors in the laboratory, especially doctors in the microbiology department, do not necessarily do drug sensitivity tests. The reported result is only that there is no growth of pathogenic bacteria. When the obstetrician and gynecologist sees this result, the diagnosis is normal and there is no problem with the test result.

Routine examination of female leucorrhea generally includes five items, and vaginal pH value, vaginal cleanliness and vaginal microbial examination are used to determine whether a woman has abnormal leucorrhea. Routine examination of leucorrhea is very important in the diagnosis of gynecological diseases in women. Leucorrhea is an important sign that can reflect the health of women. When you find that your leucorrhea is abnormal, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Find out what kind of bacteria is infecting the vagina and what antibiotics the bacteria are sensitive to.

Then take appropriate measures based on the specific circumstances of the inspection results. In this way, we will not use drugs blindly, but will be able to take targeted measures, greatly improving the clinical cure rate. If the bacterial culture of leucorrhea shows gonorrhea, it should be a gonococcal infection.
