HVS for C/S Price in Bangladesh

What is HVS for C/S?

High Vaginal Swab (HVS) for Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) is a diagnostic test to identify bacterial, fungal, or other pathogenic microorganisms in the vaginal tract and determine their sensitivity to antibiotics or antifungal medications. It is commonly used to diagnose infections causing abnormal discharge, itching, or pelvic discomfort.

A sterile swab is used to collect vaginal secretions, which are cultured to identify pathogens. Preparation includes avoiding douching, vaginal medications, or sexual activity 24 hours before the test.

The procedure is low-risk, with minor discomfort during swabbing. Results provide targeted treatment guidance, and factors like recent antibiotic use or menstruation may affect test accuracy.

What to expect & how to prepare

HVS for C/S is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your HVS for C/S result rather than self-diagnosing.
