More Information on Yeast Infection (Candida Albicans)

A yeast infection is a fungal overgrowth caused by Candida. It disrupts the natural vaginal flora, leading to symptoms such as itching, vaginal irritation, and a distinctive white, clumpy discharge. While uncomfortable, it's a common condition and effectively treated with antifungal medications.

What are the most common symptoms?

Itching and irritation in the vagina and vulva
A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating
Redness and swelling of the vulva
Vaginal pain and soreness
Vaginal rash
Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance
Watery vaginal discharge

What's in the package?

For two treatments:

2 test strips
2 pipettes
2 buffer solutions
2 pee cup
1 user manual

How do I take the test?

Collect a Urine Sample: Using the provided pee cup, collect a urine sample. This can be done at any time of the day. Ensure you collect a sufficient amount for the test.
Prepare the Sample: Take a single-use pipette and gently squeeze it to collect a few drops of urine from your sample.
Mix with Buffer Solution: Add the urine drops into the buffer solution container. Follow the instructions for the number of drops or the volume required.
Dip the Test Strip: Submerge the lower test strip into the buffer solution. Keep the strip immersed until the control line appears, indicating the test is working correctly.
Timing the Test: Take the test out of the buffer solution, lay it flat and leave the test strip undisturbed for 15 minutes. This allows the test to process correctly.
Read the Results: After 15 minutes, remove the test strip and read the results. Refer to the user manual for a detailed guide on how to interpret the test outcome.

How does the test technology work?

Antigen detection (Rapid chromatographic immunoassay)

Our antigen rapid tests offer a fast and accurate way to detect specific pathogens. Utilizing advanced technology, these tests identify antigens, which are components of viruses or bacteria, in your sample. A visible signal indicates the presence of these antigens, typically within minutes.

Specificy: 100.0%
Specificity refers to a test's ability to correctly identify those who do not have a certain condition. In simpler terms, if a test is highly specific, it's great at ruling out people who are healthy and don't have the condition the test is checking for. This means a highly specific test has a low rate of false positives — it's unlikely to tell you that you have a condition when you actually don't.

Sensitivity / Accuracy: 95.1%
Accuracy, in the context of medical tests, is how well the test correctly identifies or excludes a condition. It's a broader term that encompasses both the test's ability to correctly detect people who have the condition (true positives) and correctly identify people who don't have it (true negatives). A highly accurate test provides results that very closely match the actual condition of the individuals being tested.

1. Let if flow.

Pregnancy tests are the best evidence: a bit of urine can tell you a lot about what's going on in your body. That's why all livity tests are urine-based, except for our pHabolous vaginal pH test. A few drops are enough for our tests.

2. Short meditation

Do a bit of TLC (time, love and care) for yourself while you are waiting 15 minutes for the development of test result.

3. Read it.
