What is Canestest? 

Canestest is a test kit that you can use at home. The kit is cheap, non-invasive and allows women a convenient way to interperet whether or not they are suffering from thrush or BV from the comfort of their own home. The results are immediate and they are over 90% accurate. 

With the practical swab test, you will be able to see if i your vaginal pH levels are within the normal range. The test results as well as observing your own symptoms, will help you to understand which vaginal infection you might have. Once you have determined the type of infection you have, you can determine how to treat it. In addition to being able to identify thrush and BV, Canestest can also identify trichomoniasis: a very common STD.

What is The Difference Between Thrush and BV?

BV and thrush are both common infections that a vast sum of women will deal with. There are some sililarities between thrush and BV, but not many. It is important to understand that thrush and BV are two very different types of infections.

Thrush is a fungal infection caused by the fungus candida Albicans. Thrush often has symptoms like white, creamy and lumpy discharge, itching and soreness. Since thrush is a fungal infection it can only be treated with an antifugal like fluconazole 150mg tablets.

BV is a bacterial infection which does cause vaginal discharge, however unlike thrush, the discharge is watery with a greyish-white colour that presents with a fishy odour. Since BV is a bacterial infection it can only be treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole 400mg tablets or Zidoval Vaginal Gel.

How Does Canestest Work?

Canestest does it's job my measuring the pH of your vagina. The vagina should normally be mildly acidic, which helps to maintain a bacterial balance. Changes to the natural pH of the vagina can indicate which infection you are most likely to have. If your pH levels are higher than normal (basic) then it is likely that you are suffering from BV. If the vaginal pH is normal, then you will most likely be suffering from thrush. Canestest can detect pH changes in the vagina with more than 90% accuracy. 

Using Canestest and noting what your symptoms are like (watery discharge with fishy odour vs creamy white discharge with no odour) will allow you to get a much clearer understanding of whether or not you are suffering from a bacterial infection or a yeast infection. Canestest is easy to use and indicates your results within seconds to allow you to detrmine which treatment you will need. 

Can I Cure BV or Thrush Using Home Remedies?

If you find that you are suffering from thrush or BV, we highly recommend using proven medical treatment that will clear the infection quickly and efficiently such as metronidazole 400mg tablets or Zidoval Vaginal Gel for BV or Fluconazole 150mg Tablets for thrush.
