What is a Female Genital Swab Culture

A female genital swab culture is a diagnostic test where a sample is collected from the female genital tract to detect infections or other medical conditions.

Laboratory Process

The collected sample is placed in a special growth medium in a laboratory to encourage the growth of any microorganisms present.

Purpose of the Test

This test helps identify the specific type of bacteria, yeast, or virus responsible for the infection and supports the selection of the most effective treatment.

There is an additional £20 phlebotomy fee for every donation.
