View instructions
Fungi and bacteria live in the vagina, among which there is a natural balance. Sometimes this balance is disturbed by the use of antibiotics or other medications, reduced immunity, overly thorough cleaning with soap, pregnancy, or diabetes.
Certain yeast-like fungi can then proliferate, leading to a fungal infection (mycosis). This examination investigates the following fungi: the Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosi en Candida tropicalis), Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Mucor species and other fungi.

Strong scientific evidence

This test is included in Dutch healthcare guidelines and is regularly used for its respective indications.

Rationale for this test

Deze test is een standaard-diagnosticum voor vaginale schimmelinfecties in de Nederlandse reguliere zorg. Candida-species zijn de meest voorkomende verwekkers van vulvovaginale candidiasis, een veelvoorkomende aandoening die in de huisartsenpraktijk wordt gediagnosticeerd en behandeld. De klinische betekenis van deze test is goed onderbouwd.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually want to know.

View instructionsFull instructions with visual guidance
How does the swab test work from A to Z?

After ordering we ship the kit to your home. You take a swab yourself following the instructions, place the cotton swab in the tube with preservation fluid and return it in the envelope. You receive the result digitally by email.

How do I take a swab myself?

Follow the instructions with your kit — they're specific to the collection location (throat, nose, or other site). Wash your hands first and only touch the handle of the swab, not the tip.

What should I avoid before collection?

For a throat swab: no eating, drinking, smoking or brushing teeth for 30 minutes. That gives the cleanest sample.

What if the swab touches the side?

No problem as long as you hold the handle and the tip only touched the collection site. Place the swab in the tube immediately and seal tightly.

Which swab type matches my test?

It depends on the test you ordered — throat, nose or another location. The exact collection site is in the instructions with your kit. Follow them precisely for a valid result.

When and how do I receive my result?

Swab analyses (like PCR or culture) typically take about a week after the lab receives your sample. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including explanation per value.

How do I return my sample to the lab?

In the included return envelope with free medical shipping. Drop it in the mailbox; the lab processes your sample as soon as it arrives. For some tests it's important to send it the same day — the instructions make this clear.

What if I have questions or something doesn't work?

Feel free to contact us via WhatsApp, email or phone. We're happy to help you before, during or after your test. If the collection doesn't work, we'll arrange a solution or send new materials — no hassle.

“Hele fijne en snelle service”

Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!

Madina ShinwariVerified

“Bloedcheckup levert”

Waar ziekenhuizen moeilijk doen om checkup te doen , komt Bloedcheckup naar boven drijven als vertrouwde partner op gebied van gezondheid. Ik ben uiterst tevreden met bloed checkup

JoaquinVerified

“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”

Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.

ErnstVerified

“Snelle en goede service”

Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl

“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”

Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D

MyronVerified

“My experience was very positive”

My experience was very positive. I needed to pass several very specific tests. They provide 24/7 customer support. They were friendly and prompt.

Olesia TaldykinaVerified

“Top!”

Snelle en makkelijke afhandeling. Duidelijke instructies en binnen anderhalve dag al resultaat binnen. Top service!

ZerinaVerified

“Amazing service!”

Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
