Explanation:
This is a common mistake. The procedure is called "vaginal swab". The substance secreted by the vagina (and collected in that procedure) is the "exudate/exudation/discharge".

If a person has all the symptons of a STD, such as chlamydia, but when a vaginal swab is done and it shows no infection. Why is this possible. ...

Asker: Muchas gracias, Dr. por corroborar mi sospecha. Le dí los puntos a Daniel, ya que él fue el primero en contestarlo con más precisión. Efectivamente, el caso se trata de DBCP y Nemagon y sus secuelas. Mil gracias por ofrecerse en ayudarme. Gracias a Dios que me he preparado bastante, pero siempre me tiran una sorpresita por ahí.

Discharge' es la producción y eliminación (fisiológica o patológica) del cuello dle útero o la vagina. La menstruación, por ejemplo, es 'discharge'.
Cuando el discharge (flujo vaginal) se utiliza como muestra de análisis se le llama 'exudate'

Example sentence(s):
  • Examination of urethral discharge in males can be particularly helpful in establishing a diagnosis.
  • Collection of vaginal exudate was performed.
