To perform a wet mount, a healthcare provider will:
1. Collect a sample of vaginal discharge using a sterile swab. 2. Place the sample on a glass slide. 3. Add a few drops of saline solution to the slide. 4. Cover the sample with a coverslip. 5. Examine the slide under a microscope.
The entire process is quick and generally painless, providing immediate results for the evaluation of vaginal health.
