HVS results
I'm currently 18+2 weeks pregnant.
I had yellow discharge for which I had taken a high vaginal swab.
Results are as follows:
Gram Stain - Many pus cells, epithelial cells and gram negative bacilli seen.
Organism Name - Ecoli.
Methodology Name - Kirby Bauer
Growth Observed - Scanty.
Comments:
ESBL: Positive
Clinical resistance to therapy may be seen with penicillin, cephalosporins or aztreonam.
What does this mean ?
I previously had another HVS taken 3 weeks back and it showed moderate growth of Enterococcus faecalis. For which i was prescribed ampicillin 500mg.
How to avoid these infections?
I have a polyp in my cervical canal
And also a cervical cerclage + arabin pessary placed due to history of miscarriage due to cervical incompetence.
