What is Mycoplasma Spp. Culture - HVS?
This test involves culturing a High Vaginal Swab (HVS) to identify the presence of Mycoplasma species, such as Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum. These bacteria can sometimes cause urogenital infections or complications in women.
Why is this test important?
Culturing Mycoplasma species from an HVS is important for diagnosing specific urogenital infections that may lead to symptoms like vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or infertility issues. Identifying the exact species helps guide effective antibiotic treatment.
How to Prepare
Avoid douching or using vaginal creams/suppositories for at least 24-48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any antibiotics you are taking.
