Culture and Sensitivity, Vaginal Swab

Description

This test involves culturing a swab sample taken from the vagina to identify bacterial, fungal, or other microbial growth. It’s commonly used to diagnose conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, or sexually transmitted infections. The culture helps determine the specific microorganisms present, while the sensitivity test identifies which antibiotics or antifungal medications would be most effective against them. This information is crucial for healthcare providers to diagnose vaginal infections accurately and prescribe the most appropriate treatment, helping to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
