Vaginal Swab

news 10
  1. Definition and Use
    • A vaginal swab is a tool for collecting cell, secretion, or microorganism samples from the vagina. It can be used for diagnosing various vaginal diseases, including detection of vaginitis (such as bacterial vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, etc.) and screening for sexually transmitted diseases (such as gonorrhea, chlamydia infection, etc.). In addition, in some studies, it is also used for collecting vaginal microorganism samples for flora analysis.
  2. Structural Features
    • The structure of a vaginal swab is similar to that of a cervical swab, consisting of a swab head and a swab shaft. The material of the swab head is mostly soft and highly absorbent, such as absorbent cotton or artificial fiber, to ensure that samples in the vagina can be fully adsorbed. The design of the swab shaft is convenient for operation, and its length and strength can meet the need for collecting samples deep in the vagina.
  3. Sampling Method
    • During sampling, the woman can take a supine position or the lithotomy position. The medical staff slowly inserts the vaginal swab into the vagina and gently wipes or rotates the swab at different parts of the vaginal wall according to the detection purpose to collect samples. For some tests, it may be necessary to collect samples at specific sites such as the vaginal fornix. After collection, the swab is taken out and placed in the corresponding preservation or sample container.
  4. Precautions
    • Vaginal douching and use of vaginal medications should be avoided before sampling to prevent affecting the authenticity of the sample. Similar to cervical sampling, the sterility of the sampling equipment must be ensured to prevent external bacteria from contaminating the sample. During sampling, the action should be gentle to avoid damaging the vaginal mucosa.
  5. Advantages
    • The vaginal swab can conveniently and quickly collect samples in the vagina, and the operation is relatively simple. For detecting common vaginal diseases, it can provide relatively accurate samples, helping with timely diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, it can flexibly collect samples at different parts in the vagina according to different detection requirements, improving the specificity of testing.
