PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
VagiSense® is an easy-to-use home vaginal infection screening test that helps you differentiate between a possible vaginal yeast infection and a bacterial/parasitic infection so that you can get the appropriate treatment.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
You may use VagiSense® if you are of menstruating age and have any of the following symptoms:
• Normal or excessive vaginal discharge
• Vaginal itching or vaginal burning
• Vaginal discharge with abnormal colour or unpleasant odour
These symptoms could be due to a vaginal yeast infection, but could also be caused by a bacterial or parasitic infection. Vagisense can help you determine whether you have a vaginal yeast infection or an infection that requires treatment from a healthcare professional.
