Why do I need these tests?

An estimated 9 million visits to GP's each year are due to vaginal discharge, irritation or discomfort. Many women continue with discomfort hoping the problem will go away. Immediate and effective treatment can be obtained from a local pharmacy or doctor based on the test results.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) or disturbance in the vaginal milieu is diagnosed in approximately 15-20% of all pregnant women, thereby increasing the probability of an infection and, as a consequence
- premature birth
- chorioamnionitis
- premature rupture of the amniotic sac
- fever during childbirth
- postpartum endometritis
- a bacterial infection of the newborn infant.
Through regular self-testing of the vaginal pH value, expectant mothers can reduce this risk!
The tests is for women who sense their vaginal discharge is abnormal.
