Service Providers for Vaginal Swab for Gram Stain
The Vaginal Swab for Gram Stain test is used to detect bacterial infections in the vaginal area by classifying bacteria as either Gram-positive or Gram-negative. A sterile swab is taken from the vaginal walls, and the sample is stained and examined under a microscope. No special preparation is typically required. Risks include mild discomfort or irritation during the collection. A positive result can help identify the type of bacterial infection, such as bacterial vaginosis, while a negative result suggests no infection or normal flora. Normal activities can be resumed after the test.
