STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR)

Description

### STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) – Comprehensive Testing for Sexual Health

#### Why You Need This Test
The STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) is a highly accurate diagnostic test designed to detect 12 common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) using advanced PCR technology. This test screens for Candida Albicans, Chlamydia Trachomatis, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma Urealyticum, Mycoplasma Hominis, HSV I & II, Treponema Pallidum, Gardnerella Vaginalis, and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae. Early detection of these infections is critical for effective treatment, preventing complications, and reducing the risk of transmission to others. Whether you are experiencing symptoms or seeking routine screening, this test provides a comprehensive evaluation of your sexual health.

#### Symptoms That Indicate This Test
Consider taking the STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) if you experience any of the following symptoms or scenarios:
– Unusual discharge from the genitals
– Pain or burning sensation during urination
– Genital sores, blisters, or ulcers
– Itching, redness, or swelling in the genital area
– Pain during sexual intercourse
– Persistent pelvic or abdominal pain
– Exposure to a partner diagnosed with an STI
– Routine sexual health screening for sexually active individuals

These symptoms may indicate the presence of one or more STIs, and early testing is essential for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

#### Natural Production
The body does not naturally produce the pathogens tested in the STD 12 Panel. These infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that are transmitted through sexual contact. Factors such as unprotected intercourse, multiple sexual partners, or a weakened immune system can increase the risk of acquiring these infections. Identifying these pathogens through Real Time PCR allows for precise detection, even in cases where symptoms are mild or absent.

#### What Happens If Untreated
Untreated STIs can lead to severe health complications, including:
– Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility
– Epididymitis in men, leading to pain and potential infertility
– Increased risk of HIV transmission
– Chronic pain and inflammation in the reproductive organs
– Complications during pregnancy, such as miscarriage or neonatal infections
– Long-term damage to the urinary and reproductive systems

Timely testing and treatment are crucial to avoid these risks and protect your overall health.

#### How to Prepare for the Test
Preparing for the STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) is simple:
– Avoid urinating for at least one hour before providing a urine sample (if applicable).
– Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or antibiotics you are currently taking, as these may affect test results.
– No fasting or special dietary restrictions are required.

Follow these instructions to ensure accurate and reliable results.

#### Test Overview
The STD 12 Panel (Real Time PCR) uses a highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology to detect the genetic material of pathogens. This ensures precise identification of infections, even in low concentrations. The test requires a urine sample or a swab from the affected area, depending on the specific symptoms and clinical indications. Results are typically available within 1 day, allowing for quick diagnosis and treatment planning.
