Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major public health problem caused by pathogens acquired and transmitted by sexual activity. Their impact is greatest in women, unborn children and neonates. STIs caused asymptomatic infection, particularly in women, which can nevertheless still be transmitted and result in complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancies, upper genital tract infections and even acquisition of HIV.
Diagnostic test is the key to treatment and prevention of STIs. It helps to diagnose typical cases, and also atypical, asymptomatic and multiple infections.
FemCheck is a highly sensitive, PCR-based diagnostic test designed to detect the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in women.
With just one test, FemCheck can identify:
Chlamydia trachomatis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Trichomonas vaginalis
Ureaplasma urealyticum
Ureaplasma parvum
Mycoplasma hominis
Mycoplasma genitalium
| Specimen Requirements | |
|---|---|
| Clinical usage | A PCR-based STD detection for most common STIs, namely: Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, Mycoplasma hominis & Mycoplasma genitalium |
| Type of sample | • Cervical Swab (LBC Preservative Solution with Cytobrush) • Vaginal Swab / Urethral Swab (Sterile Container without Gel – 2 samples) • Urine (Urine Bottle) |
| Patient requirement | – No fasting required – Ideal sampling is 2 weeks (10 – 18 days) after the first day LMP – Avoid sampling during menstrual period – Avoid intercourse, douching, or using any vaginal medicines or spermicidal foams, creams or jellies 2 days before sampling |
| Storage & transportation | Please keep at room temperature |
| Turnaround Time (TAT) | 5 working days |
Many STIs are silent (asymptomatic), especially in women. Even without symptoms, infections can:
Spread to sexual partners
Cause complications like infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic infections
Increase the risk of acquiring HIV
Getting tested ensures early treatment and helps protect your reproductive health.
FemCheck uses PCR technology, which is highly sensitive and specific. This allows accurate detection of infections, even if symptoms are absent or if the infection is at an early stage.
You may benefit from FemCheck if you are:
Sexually active
Experiencing unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or discomfort
Planning a pregnancy or currently pregnant
At higher risk of STIs (e.g., multiple partners, partner with known STI)
