Service Providers for HVS C/S for Anerobic
High Vaginal Swab (HVS) Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) for anaerobic bacteria is a diagnostic test used to detect infections caused by anaerobic organisms in the vaginal area. It involves collecting a swab of vaginal discharge under sterile conditions. The sample is then cultured in an anaerobic environment to identify any pathogenic bacteria and determine their sensitivity to antibiotics. This test helps diagnose conditions such as bacterial vaginosis or pelvic infections. Proper preparation includes avoiding douching, vaginal medications, or sexual activity 24 hours prior. Risks are minimal, such as minor discomfort. Results guide targeted treatment. Conditions like recent antibiotics or menstruation may affect accuracy.
