The VDRL test is commonly ordered by your doctor when there's a suspicion of syphilis. If you're experiencing these initial signs, it's highly likely that your doctor will consider this test:

• The presence of a small, painless sore.
• Swelling in lymph nodes near the sore.
• A non-itchy skin rash.

However, in some instances, your doctor may recommend a syphilis screening even if you don't display symptoms or specific concerns regarding the disease. For instance, if you're pregnant, a syphilis screening is a standard part of your prenatal care.

Importantly, this routine screening doesn't imply that your doctor believes you have syphilis. Instead, it's a proactive step to ensure comprehensive healthcare for both you and your baby.

There's no need to fast or stop any medications for the VDRL test; your doctor will inform you of any changes if necessary. You can easily schedule the test, and for added convenience, PharmEasy Labs offers at-home testing services.

During the VDRL Test

At PharmEasy Labs experienced phlebotomists use advanced vein finders to ensure a smooth and comfortable VDRL Test blood draw. Your comfort is a priority. During the test, a healthcare professional will draw your blood from a vein in your elbow or hand, and the sample will be sent to a lab for syphilis-specific antibody testing.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
