Canetest Self-Test for Vaginal Infections

Canestest is a simple, at-home self-test that helps you quickly find out whether your vaginal symptoms like unusual discharge, itching, or discomfort, are more likely caused by thrush (a yeast infection) or bacterial vaginosis (BV). It gives you guidance so you can choose the right treatment faster.

The test works by measuring the pH level inside your vagina. A normal pH suggests thrush. A higher pH suggests bacterial vaginosis (BV). You simply use the swab provided, wait for a colour change, and compare it to the guide on the pack.

Use Canestest if you notice symptoms like unusual vaginal discharge, itching, burning, or irritation, discomfort during sex. It's best to use the test before applying any treatments and at least one day after your period ends for the most accurate result.

Canestest is around 90% accurate at helping differentiate between thrush and BV when used correctly. However, it’s still important to speak to a healthcare professional if symptoms persist, worsen, or if you’re unsure about the results.
