A medical-grade PCR-based test that measures the balance of protective Lactobacillus species and detects bacteria, yeasts, and selected sexually transmitted pathogens in the vaginal environment. Results include quantitative organism levels and vaginal pH to help identify patterns such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) or candidiasis, so your doctor can plan targeted care.
  • Home collection kit — self-collected vaginal swab with instructions
  • Laboratory analysis — (PCR) reporting organism levels (e.g., CFU/ml equivalents) and vaginal pH.
  • Comprehensive Laboratory Report and a condensed plain-english summary
See Sample Report
  • Lactobacillus dominance: Quantifies beneficial species (e.g., L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. iners, L. jensenii, L. salivarius, L. vaginalis) that maintain a low pH and protect against infection.
  • BV patterning: Reports BV status alongside organisms commonly associated with BV (e.g., Gardnerella, Atopobium, Megasphaera, Prevotella) and pH, guiding antimicrobial and probiotic strategy.
  • Fungal overgrowth: Detects Candida species (e.g., albicans, glabrata, krusei, parapsilosis, tropicalis) to inform antifungal management when appropriate.
  • STI screening (selected): Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, HSV-1/2 (with public-health follow-up where required).

My Results

The Vaginal Microbiome Test provides a comprehensive analysis of the vaginal microbiota, profiling beneficial Lactobacillus species that maintain acidic pH and inhibit pathogens, alongside opportunistic bacteria, fungi/yeast (e.g., Candida), and urogenital pathogens associated with recurrent infection.

This advanced testing method offers clinicians valuable insights into a patient’s genitourinary ecosystem, supporting the diagnosis and management of bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis (thrush), and recurrent UTIs, and informing care for symptoms and systemic conditions linked to vaginal dysbiosis.

NutriPATH Report
Vaginal pH plus quantitative levels of protective Lactobacillus spp., BV-associated bacteria, Candida spp., and selected STIs, with a BV positive/negative call and clinician comments.

Common Questions

7 - 10 business days. Once we are sent them, we will email you and you will be able to book a consult with one of our doctors to discuss your results and build a personalised microbiome repair program.

Ideal for those with persistent or recurrent vaginal symptoms—unusual discharge (often thin/grey or clumpy), fishy odour, itching, burning, soreness, pain during sex or urination, or recurrent “thrush”—and anyone previously diagnosed with BV or candidiasis. It’s also appropriate when a doctor suspects Trichomonas, chlamydia, gonorrhoea or herpes, or when symptoms repeatedly return after treatment and you need a precise microbial map to prevent recurrence.

The Oral Microbiome Test provides insight into the microbial ecosystem in you mouth, helping identify causes of:

  • Unusual or malodorous discharge (e.g., “fishy” odour)
  • Vaginal itching, burning, soreness or irritation
  • Pain or discomfort during sex (dyspareunia)
  • Stinging or burning with urination (dysuria)
  • Recurrent “thrush” episodes or persistent symptoms after treatment
  • Vaginal dryness or pH changes noted on prior testing
  • Pelvic or lower abdominal discomfort with suspected infection
  • Visible redness, swelling, or recurring sores/ulcers (clinical evaluation needed)
