Why analyse the gut and vaginal microbiota together
Gut-vagina axis
The gut and the vagina communicate: the gut is a reservoir of bacteria that can reach the vaginal environment.
Intimate wellbeing
Lactobacilli keep the vaginal environment slightly acidic and hinder unwanted microorganisms.
Natural defences
Much of the immune system is in the gut: a balanced microbiota contributes to the body’s defences.
The full picture
One test to get to know both ecosystems and understand how they influence each other at every stage of life.
Balance and dysbiosis
What changes when the gut and vaginal microbiota are balanced or in dysbiosis
Balanced microbiota
- ✔ Gut: wide variety of bacterial species
- ✔ Gut: intact gut barrier
- ✔ Vagina: lactobacilli prevail and pH is slightly acidic
- ✔ Low levels of unwanted microorganisms
Microbiota in dysbiosis
- ✖ Gut: lower variety of species
- ✖ Gut: possible bloating and irregularity
- ✖ Vagina: fewer lactobacilli and altered pH
- ✖ Possible recurring intimate discomfort

When knowing both microbiota is most useful
Vaginosis, Candida and discomfort that keeps coming back can be linked to an imbalance of the vaginal microbiota, and the gut can act as a reservoir for some microorganisms. Knowing both ecosystems helps understand the picture and discuss it with your gynaecologist.
The gut, vaginal and urinary microbiota are connected. The report looks at bacteria associated with cystitis and at urinary tract wellbeing.
While trying to conceive and during pregnancy, both microbiota change. Knowing their balance is useful information to share with your gynaecologist.
As oestrogen levels fall, vaginal lactobacilli tend to decrease, and metabolism and the gut microbiota change too. Read more in our article menopause and the vaginal microbiota: how it changes and how to care for it.
Bloating, difficult digestion and bowel regularity are linked to the balance of the gut microbiota, which also affects defences and metabolism.
Frequently asked questions
All women who want to know the state of their gut and vaginal microbiota, at any age: for example with recurring intimate or gut discomfort, while trying to conceive, during pregnancy or in menopause. Sample collection is simple and non-invasive.
At home: a small stool sample and a vaginal swab, following the instructions included in the kit. There is a single, free pickup.
The report is sent by email within 3 weeks of sample pickup.
No. The test is not a diagnosis and the suggestions are not a treatment plan: they outline possible ways to rebalance microbial groups according to the latest scientific literature. We recommend sharing them with your doctor or gynaecologist, who knows your clinical history.
PROBiome WOMAN includes both the vaginal and the gut microbiota analysis. Compared with buying PROBiome GUT and PROBiome VAGINAL separately you save € 99, with a single kit and a single pickup. If you are only interested in the vaginal environment, there is PROBiome VAGINAL.
