ABSTRACT:
Self diagnostic devices and methods for detecting a physical condition of a female based on a property of a vaginal secretion of the female are provided. The device comprises: a region of the device which receives the vaginal secretion from a body of the female and changes in appearance based on whether the vaginal secretion has a selected physical property; and a mounting mechanism for mounting the region of the device on the body adjacent to and external from the vagina such that the region receives secretions from the vagina and does not substantially lose water or other volatile components of the vaginal secretion due to vaporization. The device can be used for convenient diagnosis of vaginal infections such as infections caused by yeast, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms.
