Vaginal Health Test (Tiny Health)

Overview

The Tiny Health Vaginal Health Test uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to analyse all detectable bacteria, fungi, viruses and archaea present in the vaginal microbiome. This method provides strain-level resolution and detailed relative abundance data, alongside identification of community state type (CST), a classification that reflects the dominant microbial pattern within the vaginal environment. The profile also reports beneficial, disruptive and potentially inflammatory microbial groups, as well as markers that may appear in patterns linked with common vaginal presentations.

The test can be clinically useful when exploring symptoms such as irritation, discomfort, unusual odour, recurrent changes in discharge or concerns arising during preconception, pregnancy or postpartum recovery. By examining microbial patterns across CST classification, Lactobacillus abundance, diversity and the presence of organisms associated with microbial imbalance, the report offers insight into how the vaginal community may be contributing to these concerns. Functional readouts highlight microbial features that may influence local inflammation or resilience.

The Tiny Health Vaginal Health Test provides a comprehensive view of vaginal microbial composition using high-depth sequencing. The breadth of information included helps build a detailed picture of microbial balance, stability and overall community structure, offering a foundation for understanding patterns that may relate to vaginal comfort and reproductive health.
