VAGINAL MICROBIOME TESTING

Your vaginal microbiome is a unique and delicate ecosystem of bacteria, primarily Lactobacillus species, that plays a crucial role in protecting against infections, supporting reproductive health, and maintaining optimal vaginal pH. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to issues like recurrent thrush, UTI's, bacterial vaginosis, discomfort, and even fertility challenges.

The Vaginal Microbiome Test is a non-invasive, at-home swab test that provides detailed insights into your vaginal microbiota. By identifying imbalances in beneficial versus harmful microorganisms, the test can help uncover the root causes of persistent symptoms or guide proactive care for reproductive and hormonal wellbeing.

​

What the Test Looks At:

• Abundance of protective Lactobacillus species

• Presence of harmful bacteria, yeasts (like Candida), or pathogens

• Indicators of bacterial vaginosis, thrush, or mixed infections

• Sexually transmitted infections

• Microbial diversity and imbalance (dysbiosis)

• pH levels

​

Who Is This Test For?

You may benefit from vaginal microbiome testing if you experience:

• Recurrent thrush or yeast infections

• Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

• Unexplained vaginal odour, irritation, or discharge

• Pain or discomfort during intercourse

• Persistent itching or burning

• Fertility or IVF preparation

• Post-antibiotic recovery or hormonal changes (e.g., postpartum, menopause)

​

How It Works:

1. Order your test kit – delivered to your door.

2. Collect your sample – using a simple vaginal swab in the comfort of your home.

3. Send it to the lab – with prepaid return packaging included.

4. Your detailed results are sent to your practitioner for interpretation.

From there, Greta will create a personalised, naturopathic treatment plan to restore microbial balance, support vaginal health, and help prevent recurring issues.
