The vaginal microbiome is the population of microorganisms that live in the vagina, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These microorganisms have a complex network of interactions with each other and with their human host. The vaginal microbiome has been linked to several important health outcomes, including the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis or thrush, fertility issues, pregnancy complications, and problems around menopause.

Samples are tested for the presence of beneficial bacteria, as well as bacteria and other microorganisms that indicate a disrupted vaginal microbiome. This test uses qPCR technology to measure the levels of DNA in the sample for each target microorganism.

The results provide insight into the health of the vaginal microbiome and may help understand the cause of any unwanted symptoms or recurrent infections. The report can guide individuals towards appropriate medical advice and further investigations, and assist in making beneficial lifestyle choices.

This test is intended for personal health research and the results do not constitute a diagnosis.

This test does not check for most of the common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), some of which may have similar symptoms to the infections caused by a disrupted vaginal microbiome.
