Private fungal testing in London

Fungal infections, just as the name suggests, are caused by fungi. They are very different from viruses and bacteria and can affect different parts of the body, ranging from the nails to the skin of the genitals. You might notice a mild infection in the form of yeast infection or a more severe systemic infection. Understanding and identifying these infections plays a big role in effectively managing and treating the infection.

When should you go for fungal infection testing?

Getting a fungal infection test is important once you notice unusual discharge, redness, soreness, or itching or after exposure to an individual with a fungal infection. Detecting this infection in the initial stage can help your doctor correctly diagnose the infection, suggest a treatment plan and advise you on how to prevent further infection. With the help of our specialised medical practitioners, you can be sure you will be given the needed care and medical attention throughout your visit.

Why is it necessary to get a fungal infection test?

Fungal infection tests are necessary for a tonne of reasons. Early diagnosis, which is vital to your treatment, is one reason your healthcare practitioner advises testing. Only with the correct diagnosis can you get an effective treatment plan. It also prevents the fungal infection from spreading to others or leading to health complications.

Step-by-step procedure

Getting prepared for the test

The preparation for fungal testing is pretty simple. Based on your suspicion regarding the fungal infection, you may be required to put a hold on every medication you might be taking or avoid washing the affected area a few hours before the test. This is to get accurate results from your test.

During the test

Ensuring you are comfortable throughout the test is very important for us; our healthcare professional will ensure this. This procedure is done by taking a small sample from the affected area, which will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Getting your results

Your test will be analysed quickly, and our healthcare professionals will process the results. Our experienced staff will handle everything discreetly and ensure patient confidentiality. Your result will be discussed with you, and the needed guidance will be provided, including treatment if necessary.
