WHAT ARE URINE PCR AND SWAB PCR?
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction  or Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) is a modern molecular technique used to detect a particular pathogen (virus or bacterium) in a specimen of blood, body fluid or other tissue. This technique detects virus/bacterial’s DNA. The nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is the recommended method of testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas, among other infections. It has very high specificity (higher than 99.5%) higher sensitivity and accuracy than culture (old diagnosis technique). In both men and women, Genital PCR and Urine PCR were significantly more sensitive than culture. It can detect infection whether the organism is dead or alive! This is mostly done in first-world countries and medical schools.

In this case, our PCR tests looked for 10 infections* in your throat, anus-rectum, and urethra.

10 infections are; Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae
                              Ureaplasma parvum, Ureaplasma urealyticum

                              Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium
                              Trichomonas vaginalis

As a leader of modern sexual health clinic, we provide these tests to everyone who are sexually active at affordable price. These tests cost 7000THB in private hospitals but it costs 3600-4000THB in our clinics nationwide.

Thanks to our staff providing what we think would be the best care for our patients' conditions.
Get tested for these infections in your rectum, throat, urethra or vagina once a year to prevent complications from hidden infections if you are sexually active.

In both men and women, Genital PCR and Urine PCR were significantly more sensitive than culture.

PCR almost doubled the number of patients detected by culture. Both urine PCR and culture require 7 working days.

Urine PCR can also detect hidden infections such as mycoplasma and ureaplasma. It's been found that, if left untreated, ureaplasma can be associated with infertility, non-specific urethritis, meningitis and pneumonia.  We normally use urine specimen, it is non-invasive, very easy and no pain. Results can be sent to your email.
