Test for Vaginal and Sexual Health
Vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and trichomoniasis (TV), are among the most common reasons for which women seek medical investigation. An estimated 75% of women will have at least one episode of VVC, TV or BV in their lifetime and over 30% of women test positive for BV at any given time.
Complex ecosystems of microbes reside in the female reproductive tract. The vagina consists of trillions of microorganisms — mostly bacteria, plus some fungi and viruses. A disruption in this ecosystem, usually a deficiency of Lactobacillus and overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria, may result in possible infection and unwanted symptoms.
Sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) and viruses can pass from person to person through sexual contact, or from an infected mother to their infant during pregnancy or childbirth.
STI’s can cause uncomfortable symptoms including sores in the genital, rectal or oral region, lower abdominal pain, discharge, infertility, and pregnancy complications.
Test for Vaginal and Urinary Health
Testing for vaginal, sexual and urinary health can be performed in a male or female.
