Besurence Vaginal Yeast

Vaginal yeast infection, also known as (vulvo) vaginal candidiasis, is a very frequent female condition. The infection is caused by the fungus candida albicans, when the natural balance of bacteria and candida albicans in women is disturbed.

About 75% of all women will suffer from a vaginal candidiasis at least once in their lifetime, most of them (+50%) will be infected a second time and about 5% of all women develop a chronic form of vaginal yeast infections.

The most typical symptoms are itching, white vaginal discharge and genital burning during urination. These symptoms are not specific to a candida infection, more serious conditions (especially STDs) might be the reason for the symptoms.

Besurence Vaginal Yeast is an immunoassay for the qualitative detection of vaginal candidiasis in vaginal secretion samples. The device is designed to be an aid in the diagnosis of fresh or chronic yeast infections.
