The female reproductive system is open, and if one's immune system is weakened or personal hygiene is not taken care of, it can easily lead to gynecological inflammation. So is it normal for vaginal epithelial cells to have 2+?
The presence of 2+in vaginal epithelial cells is normal, and epithelial cells with two to three plus signs or more are considered normal. The degree of inflammation is represented by the number of epithelial cells. There is no problem with epithelial cell 2+. Regularly check urine routine. If there are other discomfort symptoms, seek medical attention in a timely manner. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods. Because vaginal epithelium also undergoes metabolism, cells will also shed. When collecting specimens, there will be shed epithelial cells in the specimen, so vaginal epithelial cells are a normal phenomenon.
Epithelial cells do not necessarily indicate any issues. The key is to check for any abnormalities in other aspects, such as the cleanliness of vaginal discharge, the presence of white blood cells, the presence of trichomonas or fungal infections. In addition, to check for gynecological inflammation, routine vaginal discharge is only an auxiliary examination and needs to be determined based on clinical symptoms.
If the routine vaginal discharge shows Candida+, it indicates the presence of Candida infection, which is an abnormal phenomenon. If it is trichomonas+, it indicates the presence of trichomonas vaginitis, which is also an abnormal phenomenon. If it is BV+, it indicates bacterial vaginosis. So, if there is a plus sign after routine vaginal discharge, it may not necessarily be abnormal. However, for candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomonas vaginitis, active treatment should be given clinically.
