I have to do some test tomorrow called ‘vaginal wet mount’. I have symptoms such as vaginal itching, pain and discharge. Anyway, I am not sure what this test is for and how it is performed. Is anyone there who did ‘vaginal wet mount’ that would like to sharer with me? Thank you in advance.
A vaginal wet mount is a test to determine the cause of vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina and the area around the vagina. My sister is a nurse and here is how she explained. They put a sample of the vaginal discharge is placed on a glass microscope slide and mixed with a salt solution. The prepared slide is then examined under a microscope for bacteria, yeast cells; trichomoniasis organisms …all that indicate an infection, or clue cells that indicate bacterial vaginosis.
