How to get a comprehensive vaginal, urinary and semen microbiome test

TL;DR

Exploring the options for comprehensive vaginal, urinary, and semen microbiome tests is crucial for anyone experiencing related symptoms or seeking a deeper understanding of their microbiome health. The article provides a detailed guide on selecting the right test provider, preparing for the test, and interpreting the results with the help of expert microbiome analysts at My Vagina, who offer innovative, non-drug treatments and support.

You have several options for getting a comprehensive vaginal microbiome test and one option for urinary and semen microbiome tests.

When choosing a test, you likely want someone to interpret the results and if you have symptoms, offer a treatment plan.

If you’ve had ongoing issues, the testing coaching services can by law only provide antibiotic recommendations, plus some probiotics, which you may have already tried.

PREPARING FOR YOUR VAGINAL MICROBIOME TEST

It’s best to take your vaginal microbiome test when you’re:

  • at peak symptoms OR completely symptom-free
  • avoiding treatments, antibiotics or probiotics for 1-2 weeks before the test to avoid falsely inflated/deflated results.

Follow your provider’s recommendations for taking the test.

INTERPRETING THE RESULTS

If you want your results analysed by a My Vagina vulvovaginal specialist naturopath, with unique, innovative treatments, and a solid plan with follow-up care for where to next, book here.

You have several options for the interpretation of your results. Some providers offer free coaching services, so utilise those. It’s important to note that you will only be provided with an antibiotic regime with some probiotics by your testing provider. By law these companies cannot recommend anything more interesting or innovative than this. 

If you have a practitioner who isn’t sure how to interpret your results, we can interpret the results for them – ask them to register for My Vagina Pro and book a coaching session for your case by the best: Jessica Lloyd. Or, book in with a practitioner yourself.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR VAGINAL MICROBIOME TESTING PROVIDER

VAGINA

If you have vaginal symptoms, the test from Juno provides extremely sensitive bacterial and fungal results for all microbes in your vagina. 

Once your results are through, you can share your results with My Vagina’s support crew by adding info@myvagina.com to your Juno dashboard and your results will come through to us. 

If you’re looking for support, you can book in with a practitioner or use the support provided by a Killing BV membership. 

Other equivalent providers are MicrogenDX or Evvy (see below). Each of these providers look for ALL bacteria and yeast/fungus and are very good tests. 

If you are in the USA, check with your provider if your test is reimbursable with health plans. 

URINE

If you have urinary tract symptoms or a history of UTI, use MicrogenDX.

STI TESTING

If you haven’t been tested for sexually transmitted infections, use the MicrogenDX vagina + full STI panel.

SEMEN

If you need a semen microbiome test, use MicrogenDX or another specialist provider.
