Description

What is the purpose of this test?

The LetsGetChecked - Vaginitis (BV, CV, TV) Swab Test Kit is a simple and efficient way for women to identify and diagnose common vaginal infections. The kit contains everything needed to collect vaginal samples and send them to a laboratory for analysis. The test kit includes three swabs, one each for Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Candida (CV), and Trichomoniasis (TV) infections. These infections can cause discomfort, itching, burning, and discharge, among other symptoms, and can have serious consequences if left untreated. 

The BV swab test helps detect the presence of a common bacterial infection caused by an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the vagina. The CV swab test helps detect the presence of a yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida fungus in the vagina. The TV swab test helps detect the presence of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite that can be passed on through sexual contact. 

Once the samples have been collected, they are sent to a CLIA-certified laboratory for analysis. The results are then made available online, where the user can access them confidentially and securely. The results provide an accurate diagnosis of the type of infection and the severity of the condition. 

The LetsGetChecked - Vaginitis (BV, CV, TV) Swab Test Kit is a discreet, convenient, and reliable way to monitor and manage vaginal health. By using this test kit, women can take control of their sexual and reproductive health, identify infections early, and seek appropriate treatment in a timely manner. It is important to note that this test kit is not intended to replace medical advice, and anyone experiencing symptoms or concerned about their vaginal health should consult with a healthcare professional.

 

The LetsGetChecked - Vaginitis (BV, CV, TV) Swab Test Kit screens for the following:

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) - The cause of BV is unknown, but it is linked to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the vagina. BV will sometimes go away without treatment, but if you have symptoms and a positive BV test result, treatment will be required.

Candida Vaginitis (CV) - Candida is a yeast that can cause an infection inside the vagina known as candida vaginitis or vaginal candidiasis. This is more commonly known as a yeast infection. In the United States, it is the second most common type of vaginal infection.

Trichomonas Vaginitis (TV) - TV or trichomoniasis is a very common STD among women. About 70% of people will not have symptoms; if left untreated, it can remain for months or even years. It is not possible to diagnose trichomoniasis based on symptoms alone, so testing is important.

 

Benefits of the LetsGetChecked - Vaginitis (BV, CV, TV) Swab Test Kit:

  1. Identification of Infections: The test can help identify common vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), candidiasis (yeast infection), and trichomoniasis. Differentiating between these infections is important as they have distinct causes and treatments.
  2. Symptom Confirmation: For individuals experiencing symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, itching, or discomfort, the test can confirm whether an infection is present and, if so, which specific type.
  3. Prompt Treatment: Early detection of vaginal infections allows for timely and appropriate treatment. Prompt treatment can help alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and reduce the risk of the infection spreading.
  4. Prevention of Complications: Left untreated, certain vaginal infections can lead to complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or an increased risk of preterm birth in pregnant individuals. Timely detection and treatment can help prevent such complications.
  5. Guidance for Sexual Partners: If an infection is detected, it's important to notify sexual partners and encourage them to get tested and treated if necessary. This can help prevent the spread of the infection.
  6. Peace of Mind: For individuals with concerns about their vaginal health or those at higher risk of vaginal infections (such as those with weakened immune systems), the test can provide peace of mind by ruling out common infections.
