Preserving reproductive health begins with timely and reliable diagnostics. Many gynecological and sexually transmitted infections can be present without pronounced symptoms, which is why they are often discovered only when they cause more serious issues.
That is precisely why the Real-Time PCR method represents the modern standard in laboratory diagnostics, as it enables the detection of pathogens shortly after infection – often even before the appearance of the first symptoms.
At Natal Polyclinic, gynecological swabs by the PCR method are available, allowing for the fast, precise, and reliable detection of infection causes from just a single sample.
What are gynecological swabs by the Real-Time PCR method?
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a modern molecular analysis that, based on the pathogen’s DNA, detects the presence of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms directly from a swab sample.
Unlike classic microbiological swabs, which often require the cultivation of microorganisms in a laboratory, PCR analysis provides:
Advantages of the PCR method compared to classic swabs
Detects even very small amounts of the infectious agent.
No need for long-term sample cultivation.
Infection can be detected even before symptoms appear.
It is possible to test for multiple pathogens simultaneously from a single swab (37).
No false negative or false positive results.
Which infections can be detected?
PCR gynecological swabs can test for the presence of the most common infectious agents:
Additional PCR analyses offered
Panels of 3, 7, 12, and 14 pathogens, where the analysis is performed from a single sample.
Modern molecular panels for assessing the health of the urinary and reproductive systems in women and men.
Natal Polyclinic also offers PCR analysis for hereditary thrombophilia and folate metabolism disorders, which is particularly significant for:
The panel includes the analysis of 12 genetic variants associated with coagulation disorders and folate metabolism.
