Description

### STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) – Candida Albicans, Chlamydia Trachomatis, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma Urealyticum, Mycoplasma Hominis, HSV I

#### Why You Need This Test
The STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to detect a range of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pathogens, including Candida Albicans, Chlamydia Trachomatis, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma Urealyticum, Mycoplasma Hominis, and Herpes Simplex Virus Type I (HSV I). These infections can cause significant health complications if left undiagnosed or untreated. This test uses advanced Real Time PCR technology to provide highly accurate and reliable results, enabling early detection and effective management of these conditions. Whether you are experiencing symptoms or seeking routine screening, this test is essential for safeguarding your sexual and reproductive health.

#### Symptoms That Indicate This Test
Consider taking the STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:
– Unusual vaginal or penile discharge
– Pain or burning sensation during urination
– Genital itching, irritation, or swelling
– Pain during sexual intercourse
– Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
– Genital sores, blisters, or ulcers
– Persistent or recurrent urinary tract infections
– Unexplained infertility or difficulty conceiving
– History of unprotected sexual activity or multiple partners

These symptoms may indicate the presence of one or more infections covered by this test. Early detection is crucial to prevent complications and ensure timely treatment.

#### Natural Production
The pathogens screened in this test are not naturally produced by the body but are introduced through sexual contact or other means. For example, Candida Albicans is a yeast that can overgrow in certain conditions, while Chlamydia Trachomatis and Mycoplasma Genitalium are bacterial infections transmitted through sexual activity. Factors such as a weakened immune system, hormonal changes, or unprotected intercourse can increase susceptibility to these infections. Identifying these pathogens early through this test allows for targeted treatment and prevention of further health issues.

#### What Happens If Untreated
If left untreated, the infections detected by the STD 12 Panel can lead to severe health complications, including:
– Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy
– Chronic pelvic pain or discomfort
– Increased risk of contracting or transmitting other STIs, including HIV
– Complications during pregnancy, such as preterm birth or neonatal infections
– Long-term damage to the reproductive system in both men and women
– Persistent genital sores or outbreaks in the case of HSV I

Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid these risks and maintain overall health.

#### How to Prepare for the Test
To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guidelines:
– Avoid urinating for at least one hour before providing a urine sample.
– Refrain from using vaginal creams, douches, or spermicides 24 hours before the test if applicable.
– Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as certain antibiotics may affect test results.

No fasting is required for this test.
