Candida Culture

Candida Culture


The Candida Culture test checks for the growth of Candida yeast in a urine sample or swab taken from the affected area. Candida naturally lives in the body, but overgrowth can lead to infections, particularly in the urinary tract, genital area, mouth, or skin. This test helps determine whether symptoms are caused by a fungal infection and supports accurate treatment decisions
