What is the Normal Range for Bacterial Flora Density?
Normal bacterial density is less than or equal to 5 per high-power field. Bacterial density refers to the amount of bacteria in the vagina. Under normal circumstances, the density of bacteria in the vagina is an indicator of the quality of the vaginal environment. A bacterial density of less than 5 per high-power field indicates a good vaginal environment; a bacterial density of 5 to 15 per high-power field suggests mild inflammation of the vagina; a bacterial density of 15 to 30 per high-power field suggests moderate inflammation of the vagina; and a bacterial density of more than 30 per high-power field suggests severe inflammation of the vagina. However, bacterial density is not the only indicator, and it should be combined with the internal environment of the vagina and other bacterial conditions for comprehensive judgment.
