What is Atopobium vaginae PCR?

The Atopobium vaginae PCR test detects the presence of genetic material (DNA) from the bacterium Atopobium vaginae in a urine sample. This bacterium is commonly associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal infection. The PCR method offers high sensitivity for accurate detection.

Why is this test important?

Detecting Atopobium vaginae is crucial for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis, especially when symptoms are present or recurrent. BV can lead to discomfort, itching, and discharge, and if left untreated, it may increase the risk of other infections or complications during pregnancy. This test aids in targeted treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. For best results, avoid urinating for at least one hour before sample collection.
