Endocervical swab refers to a diagnostic test whose purpose is to determine whether the female genital tract is infected (Jacobson, 2019). Most women experience some form of vaginal discharge. Such cases are common during the childbearing years. Normal vaginal discharge is in most cases white. It can be yellow in some situations (Krause et al., 2020). The amount of fluids discharged tends to change during the menstrual period. Any other unusual changes can be signs of an infection. These include unusual odor, color, and quantity (Krause et al., 2020). These signs are sometimes accompanied by pain.
In case of a suspected infection, a physician can order an endocervical swab or culture in order to determine the cause of symptoms, and suggest an appropriate form of treatment. During the process, the healthcare provider conducts a pelvic exam whereby he or she uses a swab to gather a sample containing mucous cells from the endocervix (Krause et al., 2020; Soslow et al., 2020). The sample is placed on either a culture container or a slide. It is then sent to the laboratory for a lab technician to test it for the presence of microorganisms.
An endocervical swab is can enable the physician to diagnose various sexually transmitted diseases caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses (Krause et al., 2020). These include gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and genital herpes. This test can also enable the provider to diagnose urethritis (Soslow et al., 2020). The condition is characterized by the inflammation of the urethra. Additionally, the test can help the provider to diagnose the pelvic inflammatory disease (Jacobson, 2019). This condition results from infections that spread from the vaginal to the cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the pelvis.
