Gardnerellea Vaginalis BY PCR

Gardnerellea Vaginalis BY PCR is a molecular diagnostic test that detects the DNA of Gardnerella vaginalis from a vaginal swab using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The test offers high sensitivity and specificity compared with conventional culture or microscopy, enabling accurate identification of this common contributor to bacterial vaginosis (BV).

This service is designed for discreet at‑home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE with laboratory analysis and electronic reporting suitable for clinical follow‑up. It is useful for women experiencing abnormal discharge, odour, or recurrent symptoms, and for clinicians who need a reliable diagnostic tool to guide targeted treatment or monitor post‑treatment clearance.

• Gardnerellea vaginalis DNA (qualitative detection)
• Cycle threshold (Ct) value — semi-quantitative indicator
• Specimen type: Vaginal swab (self‑collected or clinician‑collected)

• Unusual vaginal discharge with a fishy or unpleasant odour
• Vaginal itching, burning, or irritation
• Recurrent or persistent symptoms after prior treatment
• Symptomatic pregnancy or history of preterm labour concerns
• When differentiation from other causes of vaginitis is needed

• Highly sensitive PCR detection for accurate diagnosis
• Discreet at‑home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Fast laboratory turnaround with secure electronic reporting
• Supports targeted clinical treatment and follow‑up
• Suitable for women seeking privacy and convenience

• Avoid douching or using intravaginal medications for 48 hours before sampling
• Refrain from sexual intercourse for 24–48 hours prior to collection
• Preferably avoid testing during active heavy menstrual bleeding; schedule between cycles if possible
