Canestest Self-Test for Vaginal Infections - 1 Kit

The test uses a swab to collect a vaginal fluid sample. The swab's tip changes color based on the vaginal pH level, helping to indicate whether symptoms are likely due to bacterial vaginosis (higher pH) or thrush (normal pH).

You can read the results from the color change on the swab tip within 10 seconds of use.

No, the Canestest provides an "initial indication" to help you understand your symptoms. It is not a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis. Always consult a healthcare professional for confirmation and treatment.

No, you should not use the test within one day before or after your period, or if you have any signs of vaginal bleeding, as this can affect the accuracy of the pH reading.

If the test indicates a potential infection, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific condition.

Menopausal women may experience naturally elevated vaginal pH levels, which can lead to inaccurate results with this test. It is advisable to consult a doctor for diagnosis if you are menopausal and experiencing symptoms.

Ensure adequate lighting when reading the swab. If still unclear, wait the full 10 seconds and re-check. If results remain ambiguous, consider consulting a healthcare professional.

The test provides an "indication", not a definitive diagnosis. Re-evaluate your symptoms carefully. Factors like recent sexual activity or douching could affect pH. If symptoms persist or conflict with the test result, consult a doctor for a professional diagnosis.

As noted, menopausal women can have naturally elevated vaginal pH, which may lead to inaccurate results. Consult your doctor for an accurate diagnosis, as the test may not be suitable for your specific physiological state.
