Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the vaginal smears suggests:
Normally, lactobacillus, a rod shaped bacteria is present in the vaginal flora.
Lactobacilli prevent growth of other pathogenic bacteria.
Bad odor suggests infection.
The presence of gram positive intracellular and extracellular cocci and absence of lactobacilli suggests bacterial vaginosis.
Bacterial vaginosis is infection with cocci.
You need to consult your gynecologist for antibiotic treatment.
Thanks and take care
