Gyno-canestest - self-test vaginal swab

Product Description

Vaginal self-test for the diagnosis of common vaginal infections, useful as an aid in diagnosing the cause.

Features

Gyno-Canestest Vaginal Self-Test is a self-diagnostic test for use by women with abnormal vaginal symptoms as an aid in diagnosing the cause.

The normal pH of the vagina (pH is an indicator of acidity) can range from 3.5 to 4.5. Bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas infections, as well as non-infectious causes (including estrogen deficiency or menopause) cause an increase in vaginal pH. With a color change on the yellow tip of the swab, Gyno-Canestest indicates whether the pH of vaginal secretions is normal or high.

• A positive test (color change to blue/green) indicates a high vaginal pH level.
• A negative test (no color change) indicates a normal vaginal pH.

The results are based on an indication of the pH level and have been shown to be useful in detecting, with greater than 90% accuracy, any changes in vaginal pH even in the case of watery secretions of varying levels.

Important: If the tip turns blue or green in the presence of a pregnancy, this may indicate a leak of amniotic fluid. Consult your doctor immediately.

Directions for use

1. Discard the single Gyno-Canestest (swab).
2. Make sure the tip of the swab does not come into contact with any object before inserting it into the vaginal entrance.
3. Hold the Gyno-Canestest with your fingers on the swab holder (as shown).
4. Separate the outer skin flaps to expose the vagina.
5. Gently insert the yellow tip of the Gyno-Canestest until your fingers reach the outer skin of the vagina (about 5 cm into the vagina) and rotate the swab several times. Do not touch the vaginal entrance.
6. Remove the Gyno-Canestest from the vagina. Carefully avoid letting the tip come into contact with any object and check that it has collected a visible amount of secretion.
7. Wait 10 seconds. Check the tip of the Gyno-Canestest for any color changes from yellow to blue or green. Caution: If blood spots appear on the Gyno-Canestest, ignore the results and consult your doctor.
