What is Trichomonas vaginalis PCR?

The Trichomonas vaginalis PCR test is a highly accurate method to detect the genetic material (DNA) of the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, which causes the common sexually transmitted infection trichomoniasis. It's a sensitive test for diagnosing active infections.

Why is this test important?

This PCR test is crucial for accurately diagnosing trichomoniasis, which can cause symptoms like itching, burning, and discharge, and can increase the risk of other STIs. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent complications and further spread.

How to Prepare

Provide a clean-catch urine sample. Follow instructions carefully to avoid contamination.
