Are you experiencing severe rectal pain, persistent genital swelling, or enlarged lymph nodes that won't go away? These could be signs of Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV), a rare but serious sexually transmitted infection that progresses through multiple stages and demands specialized testing for proper identification.
At Vesta Care, we deliver the most comprehensive LGV Test in Dubai through advanced molecular laboratory techniques. Our expert team provides a fully confidential, medically supervised testing experience in the privacy of your home, ensuring you receive an accurate diagnosis essential for targeted LGV treatment before the infection advances to dangerous later stages.
LGV is caused by specific strains of Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria and can lead to permanent tissue damage if not identified and treated early. If you're concerned about possible exposure or experiencing unusual symptoms, our specialized STD test at home service makes it easy to get tested without visiting a clinic.
Our experienced patient care and clinical team is available 24/7/365 to receive your query and support you flawlessly in your requirement.
Your booking with us is just a few minutes away from your call. Our nurses and clinicians will be with you as fast as 30mins from your query.
Enjoy the benefits of our exclusive medical laboratory with most of our tests being executed and reported in just a few hours!
Lymphogranuloma Venereum is unique among STIs because it develops in distinct stages, each with specific symptoms. Early detection during Stage 1 or 2 prevents the severe complications of Stage 3.
Lymphogranuloma Venereum requires longer antibiotic courses than standard chlamydia infections because the bacteria penetrate deeper into lymphatic tissue. The infection responds well to treatment when diagnosed correctly.
LGV treatment requires commitment. Most patients start feeling better within 7–10 days, but finishing the full 21-day antibiotic course is crucial to prevent relapse. Swollen lymph nodes can take weeks to fully heal, and abscesses may need needle drainage if present. Vesta Care offers complete follow-up, including retesting 3–4 weeks after treatment to confirm the infection is cleared. All sexual partners from the past 60 days must be tested and treated to avoid reinfection.
Why Home Remedies Fail?
LGV cannot be cured with natural remedies or OTC products. Only prescription antibiotics can reach the lymphatic tissue and eliminate the infection. Delaying proper treatment increases the risk of long-term complications.
When dealing with a sensitive diagnosis like Ureaplasma, Vesta Care offers an environment of ultimate privacy and clinical excellence in Dubai.

Lymphogranuloma Venereum is a sexually transmitted infection caused by specific invasive strains (L1, L2, L3) of Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. Unlike regular chlamydia that affects surface tissues, LGV penetrates deeply into the lymphatic system, causing progressive inflammation and potential permanent damage. It's transmitted through sexual contact including vaginal, anal, and oral sex.
Vesta Care's medical professional will visit your location at your scheduled time. Testing involves collecting samples based on your symptoms and exposure type—this may include rectal swabs, urethral swabs, vaginal swabs, or samples from any visible lesions. The collection process is quick and conducted with maximum comfort.
Yes, LGV testing is more specialized. While LGV is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, it requires specific testing to identify the L1, L2, or L3 serovars that cause invasive disease. Standard chlamydia tests may detect the bacteria but won't distinguish LGV strains from non-invasive types. Our LGV-specific PCR testing provides this crucial differentiation for proper treatment planning.
You should consider LGV testing if you experience severe rectal pain with discharge or bleeding, have painful swollen lymph nodes in the groin area, notice unusual genital ulcers or lesions, have been diagnosed with proctitis, are a man who has sex with men (LGV rates are higher in MSM communities), or have had sexual contact with someone diagnosed with LGV.
The optimal testing window is 2 to 6 weeks after potential exposure, when symptoms typically appear. However, if you develop any suspicious symptoms earlier (such as a painless genital sore), seek testing immediately. Early detection during Stage 1, though rare, offers the easiest treatment. Most cases are diagnosed during Stage 2 when lymph node swelling appears.
Untreated LGV progresses to Stage 3, causing severe, often permanent complications including chronic genital swelling (elephantiasis), rectal strictures requiring surgical intervention, fistula formation between organs, ongoing pain and inflammation, permanent scarring of lymphatic tissue, and increased risk of HIV transmission. These complications significantly impact quality of life and may require extensive medical procedures.
Vesta Care provides same-day results for LGV testing. Our PCR molecular testing is processed in our certified laboratory, with results typically available within 8 to 24 hours. You'll receive your results through a secure, encrypted communication method that protects your privacy completely.
LGV does not remain dormant in your body like some viral infections. Once successfully treated with the full antibiotic course, the bacteria are eliminated. However, reinfection can occur if you have sexual contact with an infected partner. This is why partner testing and treatment are essential, and we recommend retesting after any new potential exposure.
