  • White Blood Cells (+-):
  • A slight increase in white blood cells (WBCs) can suggest inflammation or infection, but the borderline result means it's not a strong indicator of a specific infection.
  • Yeast (+):
  • The presence of yeast, especially Candida albicans, is a hallmark of a yeast infection, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis or thrush.
  • Vagina Flora (+++):
  • An increased vaginal flora could indicate an imbalance in the normal vaginal ecosystem, potentially leading to bacterial vaginosis (BV) or other infections.
