Abstract
A method of analysis of vaginal secretions collected in an absorbent pad is disclosed. The method is effected by implementing the steps of (a) using an absorbent pad for collecting the vaginal secretions, the absorbent pad including an inner membrane for absorbing at least a portion of the secretion, the inner membrane being embedded among layers of the absorbent pad, and an external, viewable membrane including a color indicator for indicating a location of secretions absorbed by the absorbent pad according to at least one parameter being indicative of a pathological state; and (b) if the pathological state is indicated, biochemically analyzing the inner membrane at a location respective to the location of secretions absorbed by the absorbent pad for further characterizing the pathological state.
