Alternative Names

Wet prep

How the test is performed

You will be asked to lie on your back with your feet in the stirrups. The health care provider will perform a pelvic examination and then insert an instrument called a speculum into the vagina. The speculum is slightly opened. This holds the vagina open and allows the health care provider to see inside.

The health care provider inserts a sterile, moist cotton swab into the vagina to take a sample of discharge. The swab and speculum are removed. The discharge is placed onto a slide and placed under a microscope so that it can be checked for signs of infection.

How to prepare for the test

Do not douche for 24 hours before the test.

How the test will feel

There may be slight discomfort with the pelvic examination and when the speculum is inserted.
