Canestest Self-Test for Vaginal Infections

Indication:

If you’re unsure if you have bacterial vaginosis or thrush, we’ll help you to take control and diagnose yourself in just 10 seconds. We’ve developed an innovative and reliable self-test so you can determine which vaginal infection you are suffering from and treat it quickly and effectively. You only need to use a simple swab and a colour change will indicate reliably whether you are suffering from thrush or bacterial vaginosis.

Directions:

1. Unwrap the Canestest swab (make sure the swab tip does not come into contact with anything before you insert it into your vagina) 2. Hold the Canestest swab by the handle and insert the yellow tip into your vagina, rotate the swab and then remove 3. After 10 seconds check the tip of the Canestest swab to see if the colour has stayed the same or changed to blue or green.

Caution:

Remember, Canestest won’t be able to give you an accurate diagnosis in any of these situations: It’s less than one day before or after your period There are signs that your period has arrived or you have any signs of vaginal bleeding It’s been less than 12 hours since you’ve had sexual intercourse or used a vaginal douche Canestest can be used during pregnancy. If you’re pregnant and the Canestest swab changes colour, this may indicate amniotic fluid leakage and you should visit your doctor. If you’re confused by the results or unsure about the right treatment, your doctor can advise what treatment is right for you.
