could someone explain how a culture test is done for vaginal infection? How long it takes to get a reply and how the infection is determined this way? Do they just take a sample and look into a microscope and it shows the type of infection or what? Ive had problems since my teens with itchiness and redness around my vaginal area with some discharge but every time I went for a pap the doc said everything seemed fine. I am really worried that I've had something for all these years and maybe with not being ill its just been there - I know I have discomfort and something is wrong but I'm scared because of embarrassment to find out what it is thinking the doctor might think I'm crazy living with this so long
