Article: You should try to see your doctor as soon as you notice or suspect that your vaginal discharge is abnormal. Be prepared to describe the color, consistency, and frequency of the discharge. If you are currently menstruating, it's best to wait until after your cycle finishes to see your doctor, if at all possible. But if there are significant symptoms, then be seen as soon as possible, even if menstruating. If you are visiting a walk-in clinic and not your regular doctor, be prepared to give a full medical history. For example, if you think you may be pregnant or recently had unprotected sex (i.e., sex without a condom), you should let your doctor know. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may elect to do a partial pelvic exam or a full exam. A full exam includes an external and internal examination of the female pelvic organs: The External Exam Your health care provider will examine the opening of your vagina and the folds of your vulva. In particular, your doctor is looking for abnormal discharge, cysts, genital warts, irritation, or other conditions. The Internal Exam (a) The internal exam has two parts: the speculum exam and the bimanual exam. During the speculum exam, your doctor will gently insert a lubricated metal or plastic speculum into your vagina. The speculum separates the walls of the vagina when it opens. This should not feel painful, but may feel slightly uncomfortable. Let your health care provider know if you do feel any pain. She may be able to adjust the size or position of the speculum. If there is a significant vaginal infection, the Pap test usually done at this time might be deferred, since the results of the Pap smear might be compromised. If so, you should return for a Pap test once the infection is cleared. In the Pap test, a tiny spatula or small brush to take a small sample of cells from your cervix. This sample will be examined to see if there are any cancerous or precancerous cells in the cervix. A sample of discharge from the cervix also may be taken from the vagina to test for STIs. In addition, your doctor will measure your vaginal pH and take samples of vaginal discharge for testing. The Internal Exam (b) The second test, the bimanual exam, involves your doctor inserting one or two gloved and lubricated fingers into your vagina while gently pressing on your lower abdomen with the other hand. This is a way to check for the size, shape, and position of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, which could affect your fertility and health. For example, an enlarged uterus could mean that you are pregnant or have fibroids, while pain or tenderness in the adnexa areas (ovary/tube) experienced during the exam could indicate an infection, cyst or possible mass. Sometimes as part of a pelvic exam, your doctor may perform a rectal exam. In this instance, your doctor will put a gloved finger into the rectum to check for any tumors or other abnormalities. After the exam, your doctor will send all cultures and samples to the laboratory for testing. The most important test for samples of vaginal discharge is microscopic examination, or a wet prep test. In a wet prep test, a technician will mix the sample of vaginal discharge with saline and take a drop of this mixture and put it on a slide to examine. This is usually done in the doctor's office, so results are available immediately. The technician will carefully examine the slide at both medium and high power for trichomonas, clue cells, and yeast. Trichomonas are fluid, flagellated organisms that can be identified by their characteristic twisting motion. Clue cells are unusual cells whose existence in the sample means that bacterial vaginosis may be present. Lastly, yeast may be identified on the slide as budding or branching forms and is indicate of a yeast infection. The presence of yeast can also be determined through the Pap test. Make sure to find out when you should expect results from these tests so you can meet again with your doctor to development a treatment plan if needed.

Article: Continue heating the mixture until it boils. The acid mixture will bubble as you add the water and urea. Add the mixture slowly so that it doesn't cause the acid to bubble out of its container. The water/urea mixture neutralizes the nitric acid but not hydrochloric acid in your solution. In general, you will add 1 ounce of precipitant per ounce of gold that you are refining. Avoid putting your face near the container's opening. The smell is very strong and pungent. The acid will turn a muddy brown color, which is actually caused by the separation of the gold particles. Wait 30 minutes to allow the precipitant solution to work on the gold particles.

Heat 1 quart of water and add 1 pound of urea to the water. Gradually add the water/urea mixture to the acid. Add a selective gold precipitant to 1 quart of boiling water following the manufacturer's instructions. Add the water/precipitant solution slowly to the acid.
