Question
Hello doctor,
I went for a white blood test and found it positive for “Gram-positive bacilli” but the doctor read the results and said there was nothing wrong. So the doctor asked me if I was positive for Gram-positive bacilli? Do I have to take medicine, doctor? Please advise, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What's wrong with being positive for Gram-positive bacilli? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Vaginal flora in women of reproductive age includes resident anaerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This microsystem, if in equilibrium, does not cause vaginitis. When there is an imbalance between bacteria, it leads to vaginitis.
A normal microflora, Gram-negative bacilli (ie lactobacillus bacteria) account for 90% of bacteria in the vagina. This bacteria works to create an acidic environment to prevent the attack of other harmful bacteria. In the test results of your vaginal fluid, there are only Gram-positive bacilli and no other bacteria such as cocci, dicocci, fungi, parasites, ... then this is a completely normal microflora. often. You don't have vaginitis so no treatment is needed.
If you still have questions about Gram-positive bacilli, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
