If you have some special problem or condition, there might be something else the doctor might test for (like if you have a bad vaginal discharge, he might test you for trichomonas). But there is no way to test for everything under the sun. Lots of the "ascending infections" that you worry about are caused by the normal bacteria which live on your body anyway. There's no WAY to test for them all... you'd get some of them all the time. In other words, nobody's body is sterile. If there's something specific you're worried about which your post doesn't actually come out and say, then you need to send us a more specific question.
