NAATs are crucial in gynecology for several reasons:
High Sensitivity and Specificity: NAATs are highly accurate, which means they can detect infections that other tests might miss. Early Detection: Early and accurate detection of STIs can prevent complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Non-invasive Samples: NAATs can be performed on non-invasive samples like urine or vaginal swabs, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.
