What Is Vaginal Microbiome Testing?

Vaginal microbiome testing examines the microorganisms living in your vagina, including bacteria such as Lactobacillus, which plays an important role in maintaining a healthy vaginal environment.

The test helps identify the balance of bacteria present and may highlight changes linked to certain vaginal health concerns.

At The Luna Clinic, your results are considered alongside your symptoms and medical history to give you a clearer understanding of your vaginal health and guide the next steps in your care.

Conditions We May Investigate Using Vaginal Microbiome Testing

Vaginal microbiome testing can provide useful insights when certain vaginal symptoms are recurring or difficult to explain.

At The Luna Clinic, testing may help investigate:

  • Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
  • Recurring vaginal infections
  • Changes in vaginal discharge or odour
  • Ongoing vaginal irritation or discomfort
  • Vaginal microbiome imbalances

Your results are reviewed alongside your symptoms and medical history to help determine the most appropriate next steps.

Vaginal Microbiome Testing and Fertility

The vaginal microbiome can be particularly relevant for women exploring fertility treatment or investigating reproductive health concerns.

Changes in vaginal bacteria have been studied in relation to the reproductive tract and fertility. However, microbiome testing should not be viewed as a standalone fertility test or a guarantee of treatment success.

At our IVF clinic in London, we can consider your microbiome results as part of a broader fertility assessment where appropriate.

What Happens After Your Test?

Once your results are available, our clinician will review them with you and explain the findings in clear, straightforward terms.

Your results will be considered alongside your symptoms and medical history.

Depending on your individual results, we may recommend:

  • Appropriate treatment for an identified imbalance
  • Further investigations where clinically appropriate
  • Follow-up appointments to monitor your progress
  • Personalised guidance based on your vaginal health needs

We ensure you understand your results and have a clear plan for the next stage of your care.
