A member asked:
If you a vaginal discharge, will an endocervical swab be performed for chlamydia testing even if theres no discharge on the cervix itself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. With or without increased discharge amount, a swab of either the endocervix or the vagina (not requiring a speculum exam) is accurate in detecting chlamydia.
