Service Providers for Vulval Swab for Gram Stain
The Vulval Swab for Gram Stain test is used to detect bacterial infections in the vulva by categorizing bacteria as Gram-positive or Gram-negative. A sterile swab is used to collect a sample from the vulvar area, which is then subjected to Gram staining and examined under a microscope. This test helps identify the types of bacteria causing infections, such as bacterial vaginosis or other vulvar conditions. No special preparation is required. Risks are minimal, with slight discomfort during collection. A positive result may indicate an infection, while a negative result suggests no bacterial growth.
