Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) Test In Bhopal - Price & Details

Any lab or hospital in Bhopal can do a VDRL test for you. But PharmEasy Laboratories' home sample collection service makes it the ideal choice. The VDRL test is a screening test for syphilis.

For a VDRL test, a blood sample is necessary. Venipuncture, drawing blood from a vein, is usually performed on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. After inserting a needle into a vein, the blood is drawn into an airtight container or syringe. Preparation may vary depending on the particular test. Syphilis testing is a standard component of prenatal care during pregnancy.

The cost of a VDRL test may vary due to several factors. However, the standard price for a VDRL test at PharmEasy in Bhopal usually spans from INR 129 to INR 440. To obtain more information, consider comparing VDRL test prices across various major cities in India.

Doctors prescribe the VDRL test when a person shows symptoms suggestive of syphilis. They can also prescribe it as part of routine screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especially in pregnant women or individuals with risky sexual behaviours. It's also used for those who have partners diagnosed with syphilis. Additionally, the VDRL test is utilized to assess the effectiveness of syphilis treatment, making it a valuable tool for ongoing medication monitoring.

To prepare for the VDRL test, no special steps are typically required. Fasting isn't necessary, and medications generally do not affect the test's outcome. However, it's always recommended to inform the healthcare provider of any medications or supplements being taken prior to testing. Patients should follow any specific instructions given by their healthcare provider or the testing facility to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
