What is CULTURE - URETHRAL SWAB?
A urethral swab culture is a test that involves collecting a sample from the urethra to identify bacteria or other microorganisms causing an infection. It is commonly used to diagnose sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other urethral inflammations.
Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for diagnosing urethritis, STIs like gonorrhea or chlamydia, and other urinary tract infections. Accurate identification of the pathogen guides specific antibiotic treatment, preventing complications and further transmission.
