Description

Confidential STD 14 Panel (PCR) Test in Dubai

The STD 14 Panel (Real Time PCR) is a cutting-edge diagnostic test designed to detect a wide range of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pathogens with precision and speed. This comprehensive panel screens for:

• Candida Albicans

• Candida Glabrata

• Candida Krusei

• Chlamydia Trachomatis

• Mycoplasma Genitalium

• Trichomonas Vaginalis

• Ureaplasma Parvum

• Ureaplasma Urealyticum

• Mycoplasma Hominis

• Herpes Simplex Virus Type I (HSV I)

Utilizing advanced PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology, this test ensures accurate and reliable results, empowering you to take control of your sexual and reproductive health.

Why You Need This Test

Sexually transmitted infections and related pathogens can lead to serious health complications if left undiagnosed or untreated. The STD 14 Panel (Real Time PCR) is essential for individuals who are sexually active, experiencing symptoms of infection, or seeking peace of mind through routine screening.

This test is particularly valuable for early detection, as many STIs can be asymptomatic but still cause long-term damage, including infertility, chronic pain, and increased risk of other infections. By identifying infections such as Candida species, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and HSV I, this test provides critical insights for timely treatment and prevention of further complications.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Consider taking the STD 14 Panel (Real Time PCR) if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:

• Unusual vaginal or penile discharge

• Pain or burning during urination

• Genital itching, irritation, or swelling

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Lower abdominal or pelvic pain

• Genital sores, blisters, or ulcers

• Persistent or recurrent yeast infections

• Unexplained fever or flu-like symptoms

• History of unprotected sexual activity or multiple partners

Natural Production

The body naturally regulates the balance of microorganisms in the genital and urinary tracts. However, factors such as unprotected sexual activity, hormonal changes, weakened immunity, or antibiotic use can disrupt this balance, leading to infections.

For example, Candida species are naturally present in small amounts but can overgrow under certain conditions, causing yeast infections. Pathogens like Chlamydia Trachomatis and Mycoplasma Genitalium are not naturally present and are transmitted through sexual contact. This test identifies these pathogens to help restore and maintain your health.

What Happens If Untreated

Ignoring abnormal results from the STD 14 Panel can lead to severe health consequences.

• Untreated infections like Chlamydia and Mycoplasma can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and ectopic pregnancies.

• Persistent Candida infections may result in chronic discomfort and complications.

• HSV I can cause recurrent outbreaks and increase the risk of transmission to partners.

Early detection through this test is crucial to prevent long-term health issues and protect your overall well-being.

How to Prepare for the Test

Preparation for the STD 14 Panel is simple and straightforward:

• Avoid urinating for at least one hour before sample collection.

• Refrain from using vaginal creams, douches, or spermicides 24 hours prior to the test.

• Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as certain antibiotics may affect test results.
