Methodology
VaginalKey is analysed by Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). These are complementary molecular biology techniques with distinct applications. qPCR is a sensitive and efficient method for quantifying the amount of specific DNA or RNA molecules in a sample. It amplifies target nucleic acid sequences using PCR and monitors amplification in real time using fluorescent probes or dyes. qPCR is widely used in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and genetic testing. NGS, on the other hand, is a high-throughput method that sequences millions of DNA fragments in parallel. It offers comprehensive and detailed information about the entire genome or specific genomic regions. NGS is utilised in genome sequencing, metagenomics, epigenetics, and cancer research. When combined, qPCR can validate and quantify NGS results, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of NGS data.
When should I consider this test?

Consider VaginalKey for precise diagnostics of chronic vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV), aerobic vaginitis (AV), and vulvovaginal candidasis (vaginal thrush). It detects bacterial load, pathogens, and resistance genes via qPCR and NGS, aiding treatment decisions in complex cases.

For those with persistent symptoms: Recurring pelvic discomfort, difficulty urinating, or lower abdominal pain may indicate underlying issues; this test offers the diagnostic clarity to help identify them.

For women with chronic infections: Those managing long-term infections can benefit from advanced diagnostics that detect microbes often missed by standard tests, enabling more targeted treatment.

For proactive health seekers: Ideal for individuals taking a proactive approach to vaginal and reproductive health, especially with a personal or family history of related conditions, offering early insights and reassurance.

For patients unresponsive to standard treatments: If conventional therapies haven’t worked, this test can detect drug-resistant or elusive pathogens through qPCR and NGS, helping guide a more effective treatment plan. VaginalKey is ideal for unresolved symptoms and recurrent infections.

Another option is WomansKey Complete, which includes both a vaginal swab and a urine sample, for the detection of both vaginal and urinary microbes.
