Subject: vaginal exam...sniff test??
Is this correct? He says she has a thick yellow-gray discharge and a positive sniff test. Is it sniff, SNIFF or what. I surely hope this is not the literal meaning of sniff!! lol What a terrible job to have!

sniff test

yes, sniff test....
Subject: yes, sniff test....
The diagnosis of this common condition is especially easy if the patient mentions a fishy or ammonia-like smell immediately after intercourse. In cases of Gardnerella infection, ammonia is released by the alkaline nature of semen--a purely chemical reaction.
This is the basis of the well known "sniff test," wherein a drop of potassium hydroxide is added to a drop of vaginal secretion on a slide and held to the nose. The other test is the microscopic examination of the vaginal smear. The "clue" cells: Shed vaginal epithelial cells, studded with Gardnerella organisms, are very characteristic. So to is the abundance of other frequently associated bacteria having pleomorphic coccobacillary shapes.
hope that helps :)

We then paid attention to the perineoplasty. A triangular incision at the posterior s/l forcet was performed with the apex approximating 1 cm away from the anus. We then placed an s/l intergrafted stitch through the bulbocavernosis mucosa _____ tissue on the other side. An additional supporting stitch was then placed. At this point, we were able to reapproximate the vaginal and the posterior s/l forcet using a 2-0 chromic in a running fashion.
