The diagnosis of unusual vaginal discharge typically involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Your gynecologist may perform tests such as:
Pelvic Examination: To inspect the vagina and cervix for signs of infection or other abnormalities. Microscopic Examination: A sample of the discharge is examined under a microscope to identify the presence of bacteria, yeast, or other pathogens. Culture Tests: The discharge may be cultured to identify the specific type of infection. pH Testing: The pH level of the vaginal discharge can help determine the type of infection.
