HVS for Wet Film Price in Bangladesh

What is HVS for Wet Film?

High Vaginal Swab (HVS) for Wet Film, also known as wet mount microscopy, is a diagnostic test to detect infections in the vaginal tract, including Trichomonas vaginalis, bacterial vaginosis, or yeast infections. A sterile swab collects vaginal secretions, which are immediately mixed with saline on a microscope slide for examination.

Preparation involves avoiding douching, vaginal medications, or sexual activity 24 hours before the test. Risks are minimal, limited to slight discomfort during swab collection.

The test identifies motile organisms like Trichomonas, clue cells (indicative of bacterial vaginosis), or budding yeast cells. Rapid processing is crucial as delayed analysis can reduce accuracy, especially for motile organisms.

What to expect & how to prepare

HVS for Wet Film 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 Wet Film result rather than self-diagnosing.
