Vaginal Wet Smear

Vaginal Wet Smear

Microscopic examination of vaginal secretion  involves mixing a sample taken from the vagina or cervical canal with normal saline on a glass slide, which is then examined under a microscope. This method is simple, requires no special fixation or staining, and is performed quickly and easily during a standard gynaecological examination in an outpatient setting.

The gathered information can help in diagnosing certain inflammatory conditions of the vagina. If necessary, the sample can also be sent for additional microbiological testing in a specialised laboratory.

At Hospital Plodnost, this test is available as part of a routine gynaecological examination. For more information about performing a vaginal wet smear, please contact your gynaecologist or visit our reception desk.
