How to check three items of reproductive health DNA

The most mainstream detection method for the three reproductive health DNA tests (clinically referred to as DNA pathogen detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae) is to analyze genitourinary tract samples through PCR fluorescence quantitative method. There is no need to draw blood on an empty stomach. Under normal circumstances, accurate results can be obtained in 1-3 days.

I recently met several young girls in the clinic who were trying to get pregnant and asked me about this. Last week, I picked up a girl who was born in 1996. Before, she only had routine gynecological examinations and did not check these three items when preparing for pregnancy. The fetus stopped within two months of pregnancy. Later, it was traced back to the latent infection of Chlamydia trachomatis. If it had been detected in advance and she took antibiotics for two weeks, it would have been resolved. She had been accused of abortion.

The process of going to the hospital for testing is also very simple. For women, the doctor usually uses a sterile swab to take the secretions from the cervix. The whole process only takes ten seconds and there is almost no pain. If you are really afraid of internal examination, you can also choose a sampling tube. Just follow the instructions of the nurse and take the sample yourself. It is not difficult. For men, either take a urethral swab or collect mid-morning urine. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to try not to urinate 2 hours before sampling. Otherwise, the pathogens will be washed away by the urine, and it is easy to get false negative results and the trip will be in vain.

If you really don’t have time to queue up at the hospital, or if you care about the privacy of hospital visits, there are now many compliant home sampling kits to choose from. You can take samples at home according to the instructions, seal them and send them to a cooperative medical laboratory. The results can be checked directly on your mobile phone, which saves you a lot of trouble. However, you must choose a platform with formal medical qualifications. Don’t be cheap and buy kits from small manufacturers with three no-nos. Otherwise, the test will be inaccurate and delay things.

Generally speaking, if you have unexplained yellowing of leucorrhea, urethral tingling, or have engaged in high-risk sexual behaviors, you can actively ask for these three additional tests before preparing for pregnancy. In many cases, these three pathogenic infections are invisible and usually have no obvious symptoms, but they quietly damage the reproductive system. In severe cases, they can induce pelvic inflammatory disease, fallopian tube blockage, and decreased male sperm motility. They have a great impact on daily health and pregnancy preparation.

Speaking of which, the industry’s intervention standards for Ureaplasma urealyticum positivity are not yet fully unified. Some doctors believe that if there is no obvious discomfort and no need to prepare for pregnancy, Ureaplasma urealyticum may be a normal colonizing flora in the reproductive tract, and no special treatment is needed; some doctors believe that as long as a positive result is detected For sex, it is best for both partners to check and treat the infection at the same time to avoid subsequent cross-infection or upward induction of other inflammations. How to deal with it depends on your personal situation. Just listen to the judgment of the attending doctor. There is no need to be anxious when you see a positive result. These three are very common infections, and symptomatic medication can quickly turn negative.

By the way, there is no need to rinse the vagina or urethra before testing. Instead, it will wash away the pathogens and affect the accuracy of the results. Just clean the vulva normally. Eating and drinking will not be affected at all. There is no need to go to the hospital on an empty stomach.
