One More Question

So I took tests for everything regarding down there but I did use vaginal cream (for a yeast infection) a few days before and also that night and took these tests in the afternoon. It was a swab and urine (mid stream). My doctor had said that nothing would affect these tests since they test for specific organisms to detect STDs. Is this true? should I be alright with my negative results? Or should I do it again? Im worried and need to know.

Yes NGU and NSU are the same thing, some places just use different terms like STD and STI.
It can come from a STD but doesn't have to.

O they are the same exact thing? I am sorry I am so confused and why do they have different names? I looked up what you told me and it mostly says it comes from having an STD first? sorry I am just confused once again. I think I might go back to planned parenthood again and say I still have discharge all the time... :-/ I really have no other option at the moment right now.

It's a swab test from what I found on the internet and I think your Dr would have to ask for it to be done, but you would have to ask your Dr about what tests are performed.
