Our Vaginal Health test examines the vaginal microbiome and how it may be affecting your gynaecological health. A balanced vaginal microbiome helps guard against reproductive system infections and can influence fertility and menopause. However, an imbalance may raise health risks even when there are no clear symptoms.

The test checks levels of beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria, along with microbes linked to conditions like bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis, thrush and trichomoniasis. It can help identify potential causes of current or recurring infections.
