Preputial Smear for C/S Price in Bangladesh

What is Preputial Smear for C/S?

A Pathology Preputial Smear for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a test to detect infections under the foreskin, often for conditions like balanitis or other urogenital infections. The process involves collecting a sample from beneath the foreskin with a sterile swab.

No special preparation is needed, but it’s ideal to avoid washing the area before the test. Potential risks include mild discomfort or irritation.

Results help identify pathogens and antibiotic susceptibility. Infections like fungal, bacterial, or sexually transmitted diseases may affect the findings.

The test is typically quick, and results are used to guide treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

Preputial Smear 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 Preputial Smear for C/S result rather than self-diagnosing.
