Relief is possible when you repair the root-cause — your vaginal microbiome.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Typical vaginal microbiome-linked symptoms & conditions include:
The Problem.
You’ve tried antibiotics 💊 antifungal creams 🧴
cranberry juice 🍒, probiotics 🥛 even swapped
soaps 🧼 and underwear 👙 Plus, you’ve spent thousands 💸
with experts already.
Yet, no lasting results.
Your vaginal health depends on the balance of protective Lactobacillus. When your pH drifts out of range, these good bacteria are displaced by candida or harmful bacteria.
That imbalance (called dysbiosis) is what drives BV, thrush, and recurring UTIs.
Grounded in Evidence, Backed by Research.
Research shows vaginal conditions like UTIs, BV, Thrush and Cystitis are often linked to microbial imbalance.

Australian Microbiome Expert
Dr. Paul Froomes — Gastroenterologist and Microbiome Expert.
Dr. Paul Froomes
BMedSci, MBBS, FRACP, MD
Dr. Froomes is a gastroenterologist with over 30 years of experience helping patients with complex gastrointestinal disorders. Trained at Monash University and the RACP, he has gone on to complete advanced training in endoscopy and oesophageal physiology, as well as a master’s degree in liver disease at the University of Melbourne.
Beyond his hospital work, Dr Froomes has dedicated his career to finding the root-causes of gut issues like IBS, reflux, and inflammatory bowel disease.
He co-founded The Microbiome Clinic™, a new age medical practice built to make his decades of learnings about the microbiome accessible to more patients and practitioners.
After seeing countless people struggle with conditions that didn’t improve under standard care, he recognised the need for a model that treats the root cause—imbalances in the microbiome—rather than just the symptoms.

Why our patients choose The Microbiome Clinic™?
Our medical doctors combine microbiome expertise with traditional medical training. Every plan is personalised — we test your unique microbiome before treating.
We use safe, medical-grade protocols that complement your gynaecologist's care. Our programs are structured, with each step designed to play a crucial role in improving outcomes.
Do Medicare rebates apply?
Yes — Medicare rebates apply under certain criteria.
For women's health consultations, all online and in-person consults are eligible (subject to legislative change).
What is the gut–vagina axis?
Your gut and vagina are closely connected through immune, hormonal and microbial pathways — this is called the gut–vagina axis.
When either microbiome is imbalanced, protective Lactobacillus can be displaced, leading to conditions like bacterial vaginosis, thrush, recurrent UTIs, and vaginal irritation. By rebalancing the microbiome, we address an internal driver of these persistent issues.
Together, treating both the local symptoms and the microbial source offers a more complete approach to restoring vaginal health.
