VAGINAL HEALTH DIAGNOSTIC TESTING

MyPathAdvantage for your patients

Introducing a truly advanced, in-depth vaginal health diagnostic test. Analyzing the vaginal microbiome is a vital piece of women’s healthcare. We developed an at-home test so you can provide more patients with a 360-degree view of their vaginal health, whether they come into the office or would prefer to take the test from home. Our discreet, easy-to-use home test appeals to hesitant patients and makes it easier for you to follow up on treatments.

With the MyPathAdvantage vaginal microbiome test kit, we’ll test for:

  • Vaginosis Screening Panel
  • Non-STI Vaginosis Screening Panel
  • Custom STI Screening Panel
  • Custom Candida Panel
  • Custom Bacterial Panel
  • Ulcer Panel
  • Aerobic Vaginitis Panel
  • Inflammation Panel

By using our doctors’ in-depth knowledge, extensive experience, and advanced technology, the team at PathAdvantage delivers more accurate test results faster with a personal touch.

Benefits for clinicians and their patients

  • Save time while increasing your number of patients
  • Monitor patients’ progress over the long term
  • Get diagnostic data on patients without in-person visits
  • Engage clinician-avoidant patients with an at-home option
  • Receive higher follow up rates from low-compliance patients
  • Ability to prescribe the appropriate antibiotic for your patient

Provide your patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their vaginal health.

Make vaginal testing more convenient for patients

With more convenient testing options available, patients will be more likely to seek treatment when they would have self-treated. You can be confident in the accuracy of the results with MyPathAdvantage’s in-depth vaginal testing for yeast, BV, and/or sexually transmitted infections, pathogens and beneficial microorganisms. Get a more complete picture of your patient’s health and make it easier on your patient at the same time.
