gram positive cocci on swab
--from a bing search engine:
"Gram-positive cocci on a swab are bacteria that appear as round, purple cells under a microscope. They may indicate an infection such as streptococcal vaginitis, which causes inflammation and discharge1. Gram-positive cocci are different from the normal vaginal flora, which consists mainly of Lactobacillus bacteria that appear as gram-negative or gram-variable rods1. A culture and a penicillin treatment may be needed to confirm and treat the infection1."

Scolio, thank you very much.
I’ve talked with my doctor about this and positive coccus bacteria and done isolated swab only on streptococcal bacteria but the results were negative.
In my swabs there are not isolated pathogen bacteria so my doctor doesn’t want to prescribe me any antibiotics since these result shows that normal vaginal flora is disbalanced.
And I’m using probiotics for 3-4 months, orally and vaginal. Now using also boric acid suppositories. But whatever I do results are always same and show disbalanced flora and vaginal discharge is there.
I really don’t understand how does this all work, I’m trying to understand and to find best solution, but I’m not doctor… 😔
I’m not sure but I think that streptococcal bacteria is present in normal vaginal flora also but in minor measure.
