Vaginal Discharge

Microscopic examination of vaginal discharge (known as a “wet mount” or “wet smear”) is a quick and simple method that allows real-time analysis of vaginal secretions. This procedure involves collecting a sample from the vagina or the cervical canal, which is then mixed with saline solution and examined under a microscope.

How is the Microscopic Examination Performed?

The method is straightforward and does not require special fixatives or staining. It is performed during a routine gynaecological examination in an outpatient setting. This test allows the doctor to immediately detect infections or inflammatory changes in the vaginal environment.

What Can This Examination Detect?

Bacterial vaginosis – presence of bacteria that cause infections.
Fungal infections – detection of Candida spp.
Trichomoniasis – presence of Trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted infection.
Imbalance in vaginal flora – changes in the normal vaginal microbiota.

If additional tests are required, the sample can be sent for microbiological analysis in a specialised laboratory for further detailed results.
