Description
The Metagenomic Analysis of the vaginal Microbiome by massive sequencing of the latest generation allows to obtain an unaltered view of all the organisms present in a sample of vaginal discharge (among them microorganisms that can be causes of recurrent miscarriages and reproductive problems and sexually transmitted infections such as papilloma). Without the need to perform cultures, in a single test, we can detect any pathogen of bacterial origin (at the strain level), viral, fungal, protozoan and parasites, thus becoming the most advanced microbiota study technique of the moment. This new technology allows us to know the existence of microorganisms that directly or indirectly cause pathologies related to problems in conception.
The analysis is accompanied by a report made by laboratory physicians. This report indicates whether or not there are infections, the proportion of the different components of the vaginal flora.
WARNING: If you are taking antibiotics, finish the treatment and wait 30 days before collecting and shipping the sample.
If you take vitamins, supplements, prebiotics AND / or probiotics, stop taking them for 1 to 2 weeks before collecting and shipping the sample.
