Lab tests for bacterial vaginosis
Bacterial Vaginosis is a risk factor for delivering a premature baby. It is important that women who previously delivered a premature baby be screened for Bacterial Vaginosis to treat any recurrence and reduce the risk of premature delivery. The vaginitis wet mount test is a test to detect bacterial vaginosis -- bacteria that normally live in the vagina overgrow, causing a heavy, white, fishy-smelling discharge and possibly a rash, painful intercourse, or odor after intercourse.
