What bacteria and fungi does Evvy test for?

The Evvy Vaginal Health Test screens for all bacteria and fungi that have been found in the vaginal and urinary microbiomes — with one swab.

All other vaginal microbiome tests, including other tests at the doctor's office or available online, use technology (called either PCR or 16s) that screens for a predefined & limited list of microbes.

Evvy is the world's first and only test to use metagenomics, an advanced form of sequencing, to check for all bacteria and fungi present. That means you don’t have to order several tests to know what’s up down there — just one.

That includes different strains of yeast, E. coli, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, Gardnerella, and much much more. Here is an abbreviated list of everything Evvy tests for - if there is a specific microbe you are curious about, please reach out to us at support@evvy.com!

If you add our Expanded PCR Panel to your Vaginal Health Test, you'll also receive results for 4 STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich, and Mycoplasma genitalium), 10 antibiotics resistances, and microbial load for 11 common microbes.

Please note that Evvy does not test for STIs unless you add the Expanded PCR Panel to your test. The Expanded PCR Panel is not available in New York or Canada. Evvy does not replace your Pap smear or annual OB-GYN visits.
