Vaginal Microbiome Test
WHAT IS THE VAGINAL MICROBIOME TEST?
This test identifies the types of microorganisms in the vaginal microbiome. The vagina is home to a complex ecosystem of organisms that may include bacteria, viruses, parasites and yeasts. Some of these organisms are important in keeping us healthy as they act to discourage other potential pathogens from thriving. Disruptions in balance of any of these can lead to infections and/or uncomfortable symptoms.
IS THE TEST RIGHT FOR ME?
Every vaginal microbiome is different and factors such as age, hormonal disruptions and even antibiotic/probiotic use can contribute to changes. This comprehensive test is perfect for those with chronic yeast infections, UTIs, unusual discharge, and any unexplained vulvo-vaginal pain, itching or discomfort. It provides insight as to what is causing the imbalance or condition, and enables a targeted approach.
The vaginal microbiome test is recommended for those with any of the following:
Recurrent yeast infections & thrush
Vaginal infections like vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), trichomoniasis (TV), bacterial vaginosis (BV)
Vulval skin disorders (Lichen planus and Lichen sclerosis)
Urinary health disorders (Recurrent UTIs & bladder infections)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
