Chronic Recurrent Vaginal Discharge that does not improve; What Can Be Done
Frequent recurrent discharges, vaginitis, genital infections that recur after a period of treatment, gradually developing resistance to drugs and environmental factors that impair our immune system… The advances in genetic analysis tests in recent years have revealed that the factors causing vaginal discharge Detection of the DNA of microorganisms by examining them in detail with molecular genetic studies called Multiplex PCR tests, and rapid examination of all factors and pathogens in the vaginal flora led us as physicians to have clearer and more detailed information on this issue. We now have very powerful methods in the examination of vaginal discharges that do not always improve with treatment.
Moreover, these modern genetic tests are not affected by the drugs we take, and they also give more detailed information about the factors that cannot be detected even by culture, and strengthen the treatment of the physician in problematic and uncorrected currents.
FEMOFLOR-16 UROGENITAL VAGINAL MICROBIOTA TEST and
FEMOFLOR SEXUAL CONTAMINATION SCREEN Tests
In Recurrent Currents, aerobic bacteria present in the flora and difficult to diagnose;
Facultative anaerobes
Mandatory anaerobes
Mycoplasma and ureaplasma genera
Candida size
Pathogens and also
FEMO9800 Sexual Transmission Detects viruses and Trichomonas vaginalis in screening, also
Microbial Factors Undetectable by Culture:
Detects anaerobes (around 16 anaerobic agents) that cannot be detected by culture, constituting a valuable part of the flora
Factors such as Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia, which grow in culture, are detected
Viruses whose culture is not possible in practice are detected
Trichomonas, whose culture is not possible in practice, is detected
Candida is detected
Not affected by antibiotics; bacteria affected by antibiotics and masked in culture are detected
Numerical Measures of Microbes are Given in Chronic Flow
With FEMOFLOR, numerical (quantitative) measures of microorganisms are determined
Total Microbial Load over DNAs ( TMY)
Absolute number of each microorganism
Ratio (percentage) of each microorganism to TMY
Logarithmic representation
Information on whether pathogenic microbes exist or not
What Does PCR Microbiota Test Do in Chronic Discharge?
By physician’s decision to treat:
Is the usual microbial flora stability maintained?
Or has it deteriorated in favor of some microbial factors?
If impaired, which microbial factors were prominent?
What are the numbers and ratios of prominent factors?
Do these numbers and rates require treatment and intervention?
Are there pathogenic factors?
Are the patient’s complaints and FEMOFLOR findings compatible?
Conclusion: Should the patient be treated or not? If so, on what factors should it be treated?
Conscious decisions are taken with Concrete Information;
Clear and clear numerical information is presented to the physician
The superiority of the molecular (PCR) method is converted into information
The scope is expanded with Multiplex PCR
With the smart program, the information is used.
Evidence-based medical data is presented to the doctor
The doctor’s conscious treatment decision is provided
The physician’s work is facilitated
For Diagnosis of Patients, One-to-One Time Follow-up
FEMOFLOR provides conscious diagnosis of patients
Very useful for one-on-one monitoring of treatment follow-up
Change in flora can be monitored
Eradication of pathogenic microbes can be monitored
Numerical increases and decreases can be observed
Because the results are given numerically/quantitatively
At present, genetic DNA PCR in this form in the field of urogenital/vaginal diagnosis is not possible. No secondary procedure is capable of giving these results
What are the Microorganisms Examined with the FEMOFLOR STD-14 Sexual Transmission Screening Test?
1.Total Microbial Load (TMY) (Molecular/DNA Load)
2.Lactobacillus size: Number and ratio of beneficial / chief bacteria of ordinary flora. State of flora stability
3.Gardnerella vaginalis: Number and ratio. Possibility of bacterial vaginosis
4.Prevotella bivia+Porphyromonas spp.: Anaerobes status
5.Candida spp: Candida number and ratio
6.Mycoplasma hominis number and ratio
7.Ureaplasma spp. number and ratio
Also other pathogenic microorganisms:
8. Presence of Mycoplasma genitalium
9. Presence of Trichomonas vaginalis
10. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) present
11. Whether there is Chlamydia trachomatis
12. Whether there is herpes simplex-2 (HSV-2)
13. Herpes simplex -1 (HSV-1) presence
14. CMV (Cytomegalovirus) presence
