What is Canestest used for?

Canestest self-test is used as a test for vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis and thrush.

Infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or thrush are very unpleasant and uncomfortable. Often, these problems can interfere with your daily life, and the symptoms of these two common vaginal infections are very similar, which means you are often unsure as to which problem you have.

These problems are particularly hard to distinguish between if you have never had either of them before. The symptoms can be unpleasant and worrying for women who are suffering with bacterial vaginosis or thrush for the first time.

Natural treatments for BV and thrush symptoms

If you find that you are suffering from thrush or bacterial vaginosis, it is best to use a medical treatment that has been proven to improve it. Medicine Direct stocks various medications to help clear these infections swiftly and effectively.

How does Canestest work?

By using Canestest self-test kit, you can swiftly and easily diagnose common vaginal infections and seek the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

Canestest identifies whether the pH levels in your vagina are unusually high. The user can then interpret this reading alongside the symptoms chart on the product's packet. By getting a reading of your vagina's pH level and keeping an eye on your symptoms, you will be able to work out what you are suffering from and what you need to do to resolve the problem, ensuring you are prescribed the right treatment.

Thrush & bacterial vaginosis: what’s the difference?

Thrush and bacterial vaginosis are both common vaginal infections. While they require different forms of treatment and are very different conditions, they often exhibit similar symptoms. For this reason, it can be difficult for women to identify which condition they have, particularly if they have never suffered with either before.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a bacterial infection that can cause a fishy smell and watery discharge that is a grey colour. On the other hand, thrush is the result of an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina, which causes soreness and itchiness. It is also common to have white discharge. It is important that you identify which condition you have to ensure you use an appropriate treatment; Canestest allows you to self-test for vaginal infections, so you can determine for sure which problem you have.

Once you have ascertained which condition you have, you can seek appropriate medical attention.

Who is Canestest suitable for?

This product is suitable for women who fear they may have common vaginal infections, such as thrush or bacterial vaginosis (BV).

The following may affect the accuracy of your results:

• If you are going through the menopause
• If you are pregnant
• If you take the test within 24 hours before or after you period
• If you take the test less than 12 hours after vaginal douching or having sexual intercourse

Always read the information that comes with the test kit for full details.
