Description

If you suffer from persistent foul odor, itching, or burining in your vagina you may be suffering from Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) or a STD (STI). In order to treat this you need answers about what is causing your infection. Traditional laboratory cultures, which attempt grow the microbes from your urine sample in a lab, often fail to identify the bacteria or fungi that make up your infection. MicroGenDX combines two advanced technologies to test your sample instead. One is called “next-generation sequencing” (NGS), which uses a database of over 57,000 bacteria and fungi to identify all of the microbes in your sample with 99% accuracy over 3-5 days. The other is called quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), which can more quickly identify common microbes causing BV in just 24-48 hours. If you are suffering from vaginal discharge, vaginal smell, pelvic pain, or any BV symptoms, then now may be the time to get a vaginal test that uses qPCR and NGS. For an additional charge, you can add a urine test for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – also called sexually transmitted Infections (STIs) – to detect Gonorrhea, T. vaginalis (“trich”), Chlamydia, and Mycoplasma genitalium.

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Infections information

BV is a vaginal infection that happens when the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina is upset, usually by inflammation. In BV, lactobacilli, the bacteria that keep the lining of the vagina healthy, decrease and anaerobic bacteria in the vagina increase.Anaerobic bacteria are potentially harmful, but lactobacilli normally keep them in check. If the number of lactobacilli decrease, anaerobic bacteria can overgrow, creating an imbalance in the vagina that sets the stage for bacterial vaginosis.BV is the most common vaginal condition in women ages 15-44, though women at any age can get this infection. Scientists don’t know what causes BV, but many think it is somehow linked to sexual activity. Although any woman can get BV, the condition is more common among women who have a sexually transmitted infection, have several sex partners, or use an intrauterine device. You cannot get BV from toilet seats, bedding, or swimming pools. Read More
