Our Vaginal Health test analyses your vaginal microbiome and the effects it may be having on your gynaecological health. A healthy vaginal microbiome protects against infections of the reproductive system and has impacts on fertility and menopause. An unbalanced vaginal microbiome can cause increased health risks despite often having no obvious symptoms.
This test measures levels of protective Lactobacillus bacteria, as well as microbes associated with infections such as bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis, thrush and trichomoniasis. This test helps you understand what might be the cause of a current or recurrent infection and offers guidance on building and maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome.
