It can be more difficult to perform a vaginal culture during antibiotic therapy because antibiotics can affect the natural bacterial flora of the vagina, which can lead to interference with the test results. However, in some situations, the doctor may choose to perform a gynecological culture during the course of antibiotic therapy, if there is an urgent need for a diagnosis or if the antibiotic does not affect the results of the test.

If you need to have a vaginal culture during antibiotic therapy, it is important to tell your doctor about the medications you are taking so that he or she can take this into account when interpreting the test results. In some cases, your doctor may advise you to wait until your antibiotic therapy is complete before taking a culture to get more reliable results. If, despite using an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, your doctor has recommended a gynaecological culture, do it.
