Gardnerella Vaginalis Urine Test | Discreet Bacterial Vaginosis Screening
Laboratory test
Results by e-mail
Treatment available if needed
Overview:
Our Gardnerella vaginalis Urine Test is a quick, discreet way to confirm or rule out one of the most common causes of vaginal infections.
Why Choose This Test?
Gardnerella vaginalis is a key cause of bacterial vaginosis (BV), but it can also occur without symptoms. This test is ideal if:
-
You’ve had symptoms like discharge or odour
-
You want to confirm if treatment has worked
-
You need clarity after other STI tests come back clear
While we recommend broader STI panels for initial screening, this single test is useful for targeted diagnosis and post-treatment confirmation.
See also Bacterial Vaginosis (BV).
How to collect your sample:
Use first-catch urine for best accuracy. Avoid urinating for at least 2 hours before the test. Collect the first 10–20ml of urine in the sample container.
Results:
Your results will be securely emailed within 3 working days*, with a clear explanation from a doctor. Treatment options are offered if needed.
*Indicative timings only—actual results may be earlier or slightly later.
