Do routine blood/urine tests reveal STD's? |
During a recent pysical, I had routine blood and urinalysis done. The tests included a prostate antigen test, urine culture, urinalysis, basic metabolic panel, and a hemogram/blood count through routine venipuncture. Everything tested "normal." Would these tests reveal the presence of STD's? It just depends. Syphillis is a blood test. Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can be detected in urine, but they then take a swab to confirm a positive result. Most Urine tests examine for specific things! No, most routine blood tests don't test for STD's. However, the blood test could offer a clue towards an STD - for example, if you white blood cell count is off it could indicate an infection, like an STD. But generally, if you want to test for STD's you need to do a separate test. with a blood test you can check for HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis. things like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trich have to be done with a swab of the internal vagina or internal penis. although there are new tests out now where chlamydia can be tested through a urine test. I personally dont think that one is that accurate. if you think you have an STD, get seen immediately. if you are a female, it is very dangerous to let chlamydia or gonorrhea sit in your uterus. it can scar your fallopian tubes permanently and infertility will result. hope i have helped I ask the doctor this he told me sometime it depend on the doctor but if you already got that test call them up and see if they tested for any STD it will not hurt to ask right,I told a STD test with both my son and it came out alright no. Prostate antigen tests are self explanatory and states if your prostate is enlarging. urine culture tests for bacteria that would indicate a UTI. A urinalysis consists of things like pH, glucose, ketones, protein, a BMP has things like potassium and sodium levels, and a hemoglobin/hematocrit tests those things specifically. none of this tests of any type of std. |
