How is the Expanded PCR Panel different from Evvy’s current Vaginal Health Test?
Updated over a week ago

The Evvy Vaginal Health Test uses a technology called metagenomics to test for all bacteria and fungi in the vaginal microbiome (excluding STIs). The Expanded PCR Panel tests for 11 of the most common of these microbes with a technology called PCR, which adds STI and antibiotic resistance testing, as well as returns preliminary PCR results within 1-3 days! Note that we will retest for these 11 microbes again when we run our Vaginal Health Test.

If you choose to add the Expanded PCR Panel, your final results will combine the outputs of all tests to give you the most comprehensive picture of your microbiome.
