Vaginal Microbiome Test

Advanced Vaginal Microbiome Analysis for Women’s Health, Fertility and Wellbeing

Gain deeper insight into your vaginal health with our advanced Vaginal Microbiome Test, powered by next-generation shotgun metagenomic sequencing. This comprehensive analysis examines the complete vaginal microbial ecosystem, providing valuable biological information that can help support more informed healthcare decisions and personalised women’s health strategies.

Unlike traditional vaginal health tests that focus on a limited number of organisms, our test evaluates the full microbiome profile, including beneficial bacteria, microbial balance, and organisms associated with vaginal dysbiosis.

What Is a Vaginal Microbiome Test?

The vaginal microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that plays an important role in maintaining vaginal health, supporting natural protective mechanisms, and influencing reproductive wellbeing.

Our Vaginal Microbiome Test uses advanced shotgun sequencing technology to analyse the full microbial community present within the vaginal environment, helping to identify patterns that may influence vaginal health, fertility, hormonal transitions, and treatment outcomes.

This test is non-diagnostic and is designed to provide biological insights that support clinical discussions and personalised health management.

What Does the Vaginal Microbiome Test Measure?

Vaginal Microbiome Balance Overview

Understand the overall composition and balance of your vaginal microbiome and how it compares with healthy microbial profiles.

Protective Lactobacillus Profile

Assess levels of beneficial Lactobacillus species that help maintain vaginal health and support the natural vaginal environment.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Risk Indicators

Identify microorganisms commonly associated with bacterial vaginosis and microbial imbalance.

Thrush and Dysbiosis-Associated Organisms

Gain insights into microbial patterns that may be associated with recurrent vaginal discomfort, yeast overgrowth, and vaginal dysbiosis.

Relative and Absolute Abundance Analysis

Unlike many microbiome tests, your report includes both relative abundance and estimated microbial quantity data, providing a more complete picture of microbial balance and overall microbial load.

Clinical Interpretation Support

Receive a clear, clinician-friendly report designed to support discussions with healthcare professionals and guide appropriate follow-up strategies.

Why Is the Vaginal Microbiome Important?

Research increasingly shows that the vaginal microbiome plays a significant role in women’s health throughout different life stages.

Changes in the vaginal microbiome may influence:

• Vaginal comfort and wellbeing
• Recurring bacterial vaginosis (BV)
• Recurrent thrush symptoms
• Fertility and conception planning
• IVF and implantation preparation
• Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause
• Response to treatment and preventative strategies

Understanding your vaginal microbiome can provide valuable context when exploring recurring symptoms or optimising reproductive and vaginal health.

Who Is This Test Suitable For?

This test may be beneficial for women who:

• Experience recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV)
• Have recurring thrush symptoms
• Are planning pregnancy or fertility treatment
• Are preparing for IVF treatment
• Are experiencing menopause-related vaginal changes
• Want to optimise vaginal health and wellbeing
• Are interested in preventative women’s health screening
• Are following functional or integrative medicine programmes
