What Is The Gardnerella Vaginalis Test For?

Gardnerella Vaginalis - AKA Bacterial vaginosis - is the most common cause of unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor and a yellow or white vaginal discharge.

Bacterial vaginosis is caused when normal vaginal bacteria are replaced by other types of bacteria that normally are present in smaller concentrations. It is not known what causes this change, as Gardnerella Vaginalis can occur spontaneously in the vagina or can be transmitted sexually.

Up to 50% of women with Gardnerella Vaginalis experience no symptoms so it is important to check if you are at risk.

How long will it take to receive my Gardnerella Vaginalis test results?

Once we have received your sample at our laboratory, typically the test result will be available within 2-3 days.

Is the Gardnerella Vaginalis test conclusive?

While the Gardnerella Vaginalis test can accurately detect the presence of the bacteria, it's not used alone to diagnose BV. Your doctor will consider your symptoms and potentially other tests to make a definitive diagnosis.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with the Gardnerella Vaginalis test?

The Gardnerella Vaginalis test is a simple, non-invasive sample collection that does not pose any significant risks or side effects.

What should I do if the Gardnerella Vaginalis test is negative?

A negative result means the bacteria was not detected and it is unlikely that you have BV. However, if symptoms persist, consult your doctor or healthcare provider, as there could be other causes for your symptoms.

What should I do if the Gardnerella Vaginalis test is positive?

If the test result comes back positive for Gardnerella Vaginalis, it is advisable to consult your doctor or a healthcare provider immediately. They can guide you with treatment options, usually including antibiotics.

How should I interpret the Gardnerella Vaginalis test results?

Your test results will come with a detailed report, which will indicate whether Gardnerella Vaginalis DNA was detected. Although a positive result is indicative of BV, a definitive diagnosis for treatment can then be initiated.

How do I use the Gardnerella Vaginalis test kit?

The kit includes all the necessary instructions for self-collection of a vaginal swab. Follow the detailed instructions to ensure accurate results. Once the swab has been taken, it should be returned to our lab using the enclosed pre-paid return envelope.

How does the Gardnerella Vaginalis test work?

The Vitall Gardnerella Vaginalis test uses a self-collected vaginal swab sample. This sample is processed at a UKAS accredited lab to identify the presence of the Gardnerella Vaginalis bacteria.

What symptoms can a Gardnerella Vaginalis test help diagnose?

Symptoms that might lead to the use of the Gardnerella Vaginalis test include a thin grey or white vaginal discharge, a strong fishy smell, particularly after sexual intercourse, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and a burning sensation while urinating. However, many people with BV do not show any symptoms.

What is a Gardnerella Vaginalis test?

A Gardnerella Vaginalis test is a diagnostic screening process that detects the presence of Gardnerella Vaginalis bacteria. It is used primarily for identifying a condition known as Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). An imbalanced growth of this bacteria in the vagina can lead to BV.
