What is Canestest Self-Test for Vaginal Infections?
Canestest is a self-test swab that helps you tell whether vaginal symptoms are more likely to be caused by thrush or by bacterial vaginosis, so you can choose the right next step. It is a medical device containing one self-diagnostic swab.
How does it help?
The swab measures the pH (acidity) of the vagina, which tends to differ between thrush and bacterial vaginosis, and changes colour to indicate the likely cause.
Key benefits
- Helps distinguish thrush from bacterial vaginosis
- Simple pH colour-change result
- Private, at-home self-test
- Guides you to the right treatment
- Single-use swab included
Who should take care?
Always read the instructions before use. A self-test is a guide, not a full diagnosis. Speak to our pharmacist or your GP if symptoms persist, keep coming back, or if you're pregnant, and always seek advice if you are unsure of the result.
