Fungal infections are caused by fungi, a type of organism different from viruses and bacteria. Fungal infections can affect variousbody parts, including the genitals, nails, and skin. The infection ranges from mild, like a yeast infection, to more serious systemic infections. Identifying and understanding these infections are the first steps for effective management and treatment.
Testing is necessary if you experience symptoms such as redness, unusual discharge, or itching or are exposed to someone with a fungal infection. Detecting fungal infections early can help ease discomfort and prevent complications. Our experienced healthcare professional can guide you in deciding when to get tested.
Fungal infection testing is important for several reasons. It helps to accurately diagnose your condition to aid effective treatment. Testing also preventsthe infection from spreading to others and progressing to severe stages.
Preparing for fungal infection testing is simple. Depending on the suspected fungal infection, you may need to avoid taking certain medications or stop washing the affected area for a few hours before your test.
Our experienced healthcare professional will ensure you are comfortable during your test. The procedure usually involves a small sample collection from the affected area, which we will send to the lab for analysis.
We ensure quick analysis of samples and processing of results. Our experienced team will discuss your results and offer guidance on any necessary steps, including treatment.

The symptoms of fungal infections vary but usually include swelling, redness, itching, and skin colour or texture changes. Identifying these symptoms is important to seek timely care.
Fungal infections spread through direct contact with an infected surface or person. Understanding how fungal infections spread can help you take preventive measures.
Different types of fungal infections affect people in various body parts. Common types of fungal infections are jock itch, ringworm, yeast infections, and athlete’s foot.
Some fungal infections, such as yeast infections, can spread through sexual contact, but they aren’t classified as sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Diagnosis of fungal infections usually involvesa physical examination and a laboratory test such as skin scraping or analysing a sample from the affected area to identify the specific fungus.
Treatment for a fungal infection depends on the type. It usually includes good hygiene practices, topical antifungal ointments or creams, and oral antifungal medications.
Preventing fungal infections involves keeping the affected areas dry and clean, wearing breathable fabrics, practicing good hygiene, and avoiding sharing personal items.
