How useful is this test?
If you have vulvovaginal symptoms and are trying to get to the bottom of your problems, this test may prove useful in figuring out what you have lurking and offer your practitioners treatment avenues. However, if you get your test results back and seem to be ‘all clear’ or have normal results, but you still have vulvovaginal symptoms that are not responding to treatments, but appear to be microbial in nature, you may need a different test. The Ubiome SmartJane test is reasonably comprehensive, but it should cover yeasts and other common pathogens found in sexually transmitted vulvovaginal infections and vaginal dysbiosis.
