How to prepare for the collection of culture from the vagina?
Good morning. What time before the vaginal swab for culture, it is best not to take probiotics anymore. All the time I take after the treatment of the infection and orally and vaginally. In less than two weeks I have a visit to the gynecologist and I would like to check if the infection has been cured. Today I got my period so vaginally I will no longer apply a probiotic and after a month also so as not to lie about the result Unless three days before the swab is enough without vaginal application. And how about oral probiotic? Also stop?

The use of vaginal probiotics should not affect the result of the vaginal list, because the swab collection is aimed at assessing the presence of pathogenic bacteria, not probiotic strains contained in this type of preparations. However, about 2-3 days before the swab, it is best to avoid intercourse and the use of any vaginal preparations. There is no need to stop using an oral probiotic.
