What does a plus sign mean in Mycoplasma culture?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask, if a plus sign is added during Mycoplasma culture, does it indicate Mycoplasma carriage or Mycoplasma infection?
First follow-up question: I would like to ask which type of Mycoplasma infection it is? How long is the treatment duration, and what medication is used?

Doctor's answer:

This situation is likely caused by mycoplasma infection. Please pay close attention to hygiene in the genital area. You can use topical anti-inflammatory feminine wash and take azithromycin orally to try. Wish you good health!
It is recommended to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the external genital area, reduce friction, and remove any foreign objects in the vagina promptly. For labial adhesion, apply estrogen cream externally to loosen it.
