The Discharge Chronicles: ​​The Deep Cuts–When the Swab Lies

Your test says “negative,” but your vagina says otherwise? You’re not imagining it. In this “Deep Cuts” episode of Labia Logic, Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure unpack the mystery of vaginal symptoms that lab tests miss. From desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV) to cytolytic vaginosis (CV), they explain what’s really going on when the usual yeast/BV/trich results don’t fit. You’ll learn what symptoms to watch for, how pH can tell the truth, and why antibiotics—or even probiotics—can make things worse. This is the vaginal health episode your doctor wishes they’d heard in med school.
