Is There Any Doctor Available To Analyse This Report?

Hi...i had a high vaginal swap test last july due to itchiness and foul smell in the vagina and it turns out fine..as my doc said...but i noticed that in the test result read like this...numerous negative gram bacilli and scanty postive gram bacili...im wondering whether this could be the problem?

I think your test is Vaginal swab Test. since you have complained about itchiness and foul smell, I suspect to be Vaginitis. As your report said it to be numerous gram negative and scanty gram postive bacilli, it may be the commensal flora. but if the report says it to be plenty of gram variable bacilli, along with gram positive bacilli it seems to be more likely bacterial vaginitis in this case you should complete the treatment.
