Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Some bacterias are present in various parts of our body. They are necessary and they help us. these are normal flora. In your vagina, only normal flora is seen
2. Pus cells are present - it means possible infection
3. Epithelial cells are present indicating mild mucosal injury. - As it is present, abuse needs to be evaluated. They are no sure, about any abuse. So the statement.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
