Can Taking Antibiotics Cause Vaginal Itching And Swelling?
Hi, I am married & got vulva swelling one month back .. It got subsided but again I got along with the White discharge. Using antibiotics but still discharge is there. Culture & sensitivity test done but result came as no growth in culture. Is it because of using antibiotics report came as normal or I do not have any infection ?? But still I have itching and little swelling of the left labia lip.
Hello there. CUltures come out to be negative in many patients. It depends on the technique it was performed, the sample size and procedure protocol. Prior antibiotic use can show up as sterile cultures. However since its not resolving you should repeat it and if possible do a fungal culture as well. Take care.
