What is a UTI?: A UTI is an infection that can affect any part of your urinary system or tract, such as the kidneys, ureters (carries urine from kidneys to bladder), and urethra (directs urine out of the body). UTIs are classified as either “upper” or “lower” based on the infection’s location in the urinary tract. What are the Main Types of UTIs?
Causes & Symptoms: UTIs are usually caused by bacteria like E. coli, which is one of the more common culprits. Viruses or fungi can also be responsible. The most common symptoms are signs of bladder inflammation, such as:
Risks: The factors that increase the risk of contracting a UTI include sexual activity, certain forms of birth control, menopause, and a suppressed immune system. Diagnosis and Treatment: WomensKEY uses qPCR and NGS to comprehensively detect UTI-causing pathogens and any antimicrobial resistance, providing accurate insights for effective treatment. Why do women get UTIs so often?: The federal Office of Women’s Health states that women get UTIs up to 30 times more often than men. This discrepancy occurs because women have shorter urethras and their urinary tracts are closer to their vagina and rectum, making it easier for bacteria to enter. Interstitial Cystitis (IC) What is IC?: Also known as bladder pain syndrome, IC is a chronic lower UTI condition that causes constant bladder pressure, a persistent urge to go, and pelvic pain. In the U.S., IC affects between 3-8 million women and up to 4 million men, almost matching the populations of New York City and Los Angeles, respectively. Causes & Symptoms: Despite its prevalence, the exact causes of IC are unknown, but likely come from multiple factors. Symptoms can fluctuate and may be worsened by stress, sexual activity, long periods of sitting, or by eating certain foods. Symptoms include:
Diagnosis and Treatment: Both UTIs and IC share similar symptoms so chronic UTIs can masquerade as IC, causing misdiagnoses. It’s possible to have both at the same time, but each one requires differing treatments, which is why a correct diagnosis is key. Moreover, regular culture tests often fail to distinguish one from the other, illustrating the need for more sensitive, broad-spectrum testing. WomensKEY helps uncover the underlying pathogens and microbial imbalances behind IC, supporting a clear diagnosis and effective treatment by your provider.

What is BV?: Also known as vaginosis, BV, is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. An imbalance can lead to harmful bacteria outnumbering beneficial ones, which can lead to issues like BV. It affects women of all ages, but is most prevalent among those aged 15-44, making it the most common vaginal condition in this age group. Causes & Symptoms: In a healthy vagina, lactobacilli, the beneficial bacteria that keep the vaginal lining healthy, dominate the microbial environment. When lactobacilli decrease, potentially harmful bacteria can overgrow, disrupting the delicate microbial balance of the vagina and creating conditions for BV. In fact, a recent study indicates in these conditions anaerobic bacteria (like Gardnerella vaginalis or Prevotella spp.) overgrow and contribute to BV. Vaginosis occurs more often in those with an STI, multiple sexual partners, or who use an intrauterine device. Symptoms include:
Diagnosis and Treatment: WomensKEY’s combination of qPCR + NGS conducts a broad and in-depth detection of microbes in the vagina, enabling a precise diagnosis and personalized treatment to restore a healthy balance to its microbiome.
Unlike standard tests that often miss less common pathogens, provide limited data, or unhelpful results, WomensKEY uses qPCR and Next-Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) to identify a broad range of over 57,000 microbes with better accuracy and sensitivity. NGS reports each microbe it detects in the sample and its relative abundance. qPCR screens for 17 types of antimicrobial resistance. Combining both tests provides your healthcare provider with clinical clarity at the microbial level, unlocking precise diagnosis and targeted treatment.
WomensKEY provides a comprehensive assessment of a woman’s urinary and reproductive health, by testing both a urine sample and vaginal swab. It detects the microbes behind UTIs, bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, and other conditions specific to women. It is a combination of both UroKEY and the Vaginal Test Service. UroKEY is a unisex test that uses a urine sample to assess the health of a person’s urinary tract health and screens for UTIs and related conditions. The Vaginal Test Service checks for issues affecting the vaginal microbiome, such as BV or yeast overgrowth.
Antibiotics can travel throughout your body and may degrade the DNA of any microbes in your urine or vaginal sample, potentially impacting your results. It’s generally recommended to refrain from taking antibiotics at least 48 hours before collecting your sample. However, your provider will give the best guidance based on your medical history to ensure you take the best action for your health.
MicroGenDX’s lab report will list any bacteria or fungi our qPCR + NGS test finds in your sample. However, not all microbes that the test detects are harmful pathogens. Consulting your healthcare provider on your unique medical history will provide guidance on which microbes to treat for.
Sample should be shipped out to the lab within 24 hours of collection. If you are unable to ship out the sample within 24 hours, be sure to place in a refrigerator.
Samples that have not been submitted, cannot be refunded after 90 days.
