Canestest Self Test For Vaginal Infections

It’s a solution that will put you back in control of your intimate health and give you the ability to choose the treatment you need to effectively deal with your infection and get back to you.

While both thrush and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are very common, they’re two different types of infections and as such require different treatments. However, they are not always easy for women to identify.

With Canestest®, you can test before you treat, so you know you're choosing the right solution that will bring you effective relief from your infection.

Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using
Canestest®.

It’s similar to inserting a tampon and it shouldn’t cause you any discomfort.

Step 1
Unwrap the Canestest® swab (make sure the swab tip does not come into contact with anything before you insert it into your vagina).

Step 2 
Hold the Canestest® swab by the handle and insert the yellow tip into your vagina, rotate the swab and then remove.

Step 3
After 10 seconds check the tip of the Canestest® swab to see if the colour has stayed the same or changed to blue or green.

The test results should be interpreted in conjunction with your symptoms, based on the symptoms table on the back of the pack, helping you to understand which common vaginal infection you may be suffering from, such as thrush or bacterial vaginosis.

Precautions and considerations
Do not take any decision of medical relevance without first consulting your medical practitioner. Also, if you're unsure about the right treatment or confused about the result, please consult your doctor. Remember, Canestest® won’t be able to give you an accurate diagnosis in any of these situations:

• It’s less than one day before or after your period.
• There are signs that your period has arrived or you have any signs of vaginal bleeding.
• It’s been less than 12 hours since you’ve had sexual intercourse or used a vaginal douche.
