Q:
What does Evvy test for?
A:
All bacteria and fungi
That’s right — every single one known to science and relevant to the vaginal microbiome.
All other vaginal microbiome tests, including those at the doctor's office or online, use technology called either PCR or 16s, which look for a predefined & limited list of microbes.
The Evvy Vaginal Health Test is the only test to use metagenomics instead, an advanced form of sequencing. It is powerful enough to discover all bacteria and fungi present with a single swab!
That means you don’t have to order several tests to get a good picture of what’s up down there — just one.

ORDER YOUR TEST
We test for all disruptive and protective microbes that research has shown are related to...
Aerobic Vaginitis (AV)
e.g. E.coli, Group B streptococci
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
e.g. Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Prevotella bivia
Cytolytic Vaginosis (CV)
e.g. Lactobacillus crispatus
Recurrent UTIs
e.g. E. coli, Klebsiella, Group B strep
Good Health
e.g. Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus jensenii
Yeast Infections
e.g. Candida albicans, Candida glabrata
Mycoplasma / Ureaplasma
e.g. Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, Ureaplasma urealyticum
And thousands more!
Note that we don’t test for parasites or STIs.
Curious what our results actually look like?
Here’s a sample report:
01 --> At A Glance
The first results you’ll receive are your overall health scores, which give a sense of how well-protected your microbiome is.
Your report also includes an interactive visualization of your microbiome, broken down by protective, disruptive, neutral, and unknown microbes.

02 --> Vaginal Microbiome Type
Next, you’ll receive your Community State Type (CST).
For each CST, Evvy highlights if published research has found any health associations. FYI: an association is not a diagnosis, and we hope that proactive knowledge can inform conversations with your doctor.

03 --> Detailed Results
Evvy’s detailed results reveal all bacteria and fungi and their relative amounts.
We provide an in-depth description of what it is, what it does, and what symptoms it might be associated with.
We also enable you to filter your list of microbes by the conditions they’ve been associated with in existing research.
Note: These bacteria are NOT an exhaustive list of what Evvy tests for — just what was present in this particular sample.

04 --> Trends and Insights (Evvy Members only)
The final part of your results is the Trends & Insights section, which gives Evvy Members a detailed comparison of previous results.
You can use this to see how hormones, treatments, behaviors and more are affecting your microbiome!

An Evvy Success Story
“I have not had BV come back, I have been UTI free and have not seen a hint of a yeast infection for over a year now.
If I do see any sign of these conditions creep up again, I am not paralyzed by anxiety. I feel empowered to take care of myself and I don't feel alone in that journey.”
