If you suffer from chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic or reoccurring urinary tract infections (UTIs), or have persistent bladder pain or prostate pain, you need answers about what is causing your infection. Traditional laboratory cultures, which attempt grow the microbes from your urine sample in a lab, often fail to identify the bacteria or fungi that make up your infection.
 
MicroGenDX combines two advanced technologies to test your urine sample instead. One is called “next-generation sequencing” (NGS), which uses a database of over 50,000 bacteria and fungi to identify all of the microbes in your urine sample with 99% accuracy over 3-5 days. The other is called qualitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), which can more quickly identify common microbes causing prostatitis, UTI, or interstitial cystitis (IC) in just 24-48 hours.
 
May be helpful for those with:
Chronic pain while urinating
Chronic bladder pain
A persistent need to urinate
Chronic Interstitial Cystitis
Chronic prostate pain
Pain when ejaculating
Chronic epididymitis
Other UTI, prostatis, or IC symptoms
Those looking for comprehensive health insights to their reproductive health
 
 
Includes Antimicrobial Resistance Testing:
Utilizing rapid quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) testing, WomensKEY detects antimicrobial resistance genes. These crucial insights help tailor treatment options to effectively combat drug-resistant microbes, promoting better health outcomes.
 
Reports Include:
Level 1: Rapid qPCR results, including any detected antimicrobial resistance, typically available within 1-2 days.
Level 2: NGS results, providing an in-depth look at the microbes present, usually available within 3-5 days.
 
NOTE: Acute urinary or prostate symptoms should be assessed by your medical provider ASAP!  Please do not put off important medical care for acute infections and symptoms. This test is for those who have had medical care for their symptoms and they have not had answers from traditional testing. 
 
Additional Add Ons:
+$76 Add a urine test for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – also called sexually transmitted Infections (STIs) – to detect Gonorrhea, T. vaginalis (“trich”), Chlamydia, and Mycoplasma genitalium.
+$10 Add on urine analysis biomarkers for additional information about the urinary tract.
 
AI-Enabled Microbe Classification:
Powered by AI and the latest research, the Urine Pathogenicity Report enhances your healthcare provider’s understanding by categorizing each microbe as:
C – Commensal: Neutral, or beneficial microbes that help maintain a healthy balance
P – Pathogen: Microbes that may be causing harm and contribute to your symptoms
U – Unknown: Microbes with uncertain roles in your microbiome
