Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
High Vaginal Swab (HVS) is a technique used in Obstetrics and Gynaecology to obtain a sample of discharge from the vagina. Your HVS test result is showing moderate growth of Candida, which means that you have yeast infection.
You may require treatment if you are symptomatic. Kindly consult Gynaecologist in this regard.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
