Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Itching
Question: What tests exists for men for Chlamydia ? My wife keeps getting vaginal itching , and whitish material around the vagina , which in the past has been assumed to be yeast infection and treated with Clingen 3 . however this returns sometimes after 3-9 months, after having intercourse with me ( which is once a month). I am suspecting Chlamydia and wondering if I am a carrier and do not know. Does a NAAT test exist in XXXXXXX , or will it be a urine sample. will this be fairly common in many hospitals or offered in very few locations ?
Brief Answer:
Regarding screening test for chlamydia

Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am Dr. Kakkar (dermatologist and venereologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
I think she has a yeast infection but anyways if you want to get tested for chlamydia, NAAT test is available in XXXXXXX It is a Nucleic Acid based Amplification test. NAAT is a urine test. It is commonly available in good labs in XXXXXXX like Dr. Lal Path Lab.

Thanks Dr. Kakar. Previously you had replied to another query of mine on April 21:
"You both seem to have got yeast infection which can present as vulval itching and vagunal discharge in females and as inflammation of prepuce along with accumulation of whitish discharge under prepuce in males.
I suggest each one of you to take an oral antifungal kit e.g Zocon AS kit "
Zocon AS was not available in the market somehow. Still I will try the NAAT test as well.
