Vault Smear for Gram Stain Price in Bangladesh

What is Vault Smear for Gram Stain?

The Vault Smear for Gram Stain test is used to detect bacterial infections in the vaginal vault, often after a hysterectomy. A sterile swab is used to collect a sample from the vaginal vault, which is then stained with a Gram stain and examined under a microscope.

The test classifies bacteria as Gram-positive or Gram-negative, helping to identify the type of infection. No special preparation is required.

Risks are minimal, with slight discomfort during the swabbing process. Abnormal results may indicate a bacterial infection, while normal results suggest no infection.

Normal activities can be resumed afterward.

What to expect & how to prepare

Vault Smear for Gram Stain 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 Vault Smear for Gram Stain result rather than self-diagnosing.
