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

A culture test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a sample and checks which antibiotics act against them. The sample is incubated in the laboratory, so this test needs more time than a routine blood report.

• Antibiotics: tell the laboratory if you have already started an antibiotic — it can change the result. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
• Sample collection: the correct sample and the way it is collected depend on the site being tested; the laboratory will instruct you or collect it for you.
• Timing: culture results take longer than routine tests because the organisms must grow first. Ask the laboratory when your report is expected.

Interpreted together with your symptoms — antibiotic choice should be made by a registered doctor, not from the report alone.
