Check Your Urinary Health: Urethral Swab Test
The Urethral Swab Test is an essential diagnostic tool used to detect infections in the urethra. This diagnostic test identifies pathogens, including bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae (which causes gonorrhea), and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It provides essential insights into the causes of symptoms like urethral discharge, burning during urination, or pelvic discomfort, enabling accurate treatment plans to prevent complications.
This test is particularly valuable for individuals experiencing symptoms of urethral infections or those at risk of sexually transmitted infections. Regular screening can help maintain urinary and reproductive health while preventing long-term complications.
