Preputial Smear for Gram Stain

A preputial smear for Gram stain is used to detect bacterial infections under the foreskin. The procedure involves collecting a sample from the preputial area, applying it to a slide, and staining it to identify bacteria. Preparation includes cleaning the area and possibly retracting the foreskin. Risks are minimal but may include discomfort or mild irritation. Results help identify bacterial pathogens (e.g., gonorrhea, chlamydia) by staining Gram-positive or Gram-negative organisms. Conditions like poor sample collection or contamination can affect results, leading to misinterpretation. Post-test, patients may experience mild discomfort, but no further treatment is typically necessary unless an infection is detected.
