PRIYANKA JAIN, FOUNDER, EVVY : The Vaginal Microbiome
CLITEROLOGY
The vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in women's health, influencing fertility, pregnancy, and the progression of cervical cancer. It is a complex community of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microbes residing in the vagina. A healthy vaginal microbiome is dominated by beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, creating a protective barrier that prevents pathogens from thriving and safeguarding the reproductive organs. Disruption in the balance of the vaginal microbiome can lead to conditions such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and other forms of...
info_outlineThe vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in women's health, influencing fertility, pregnancy, and the progression of cervical cancer. It is a complex community of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microbes residing in the vagina. A healthy vaginal microbiome is dominated by beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, creating a protective barrier that prevents pathogens from thriving and safeguarding the reproductive organs.
Disruption in the balance of the vaginal microbiome can lead to conditions such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and other forms of dysbiosis. BV, the most common vaginal infection, affects 30% of women at any given time. Imbalances in the vaginal microbiome can have far-reaching consequences, impacting fertility, in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates, preterm birth rates, cervical cancer progression rates, and susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Understanding the composition and health of the vaginal microbiome is essential for women's overall well-being. Advanced genomic sequencing, like the technology used by Evie, can provide insights into the specific bacteria, fungi, and microbes present in the vaginal environment. This information empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health and potentially prevent future complications related to the vaginal microbiome.
By monitoring and understanding their vaginal microbiome, individuals can take control of their vaginal health, similar to how they manage other aspects of their well-being like sleep and nutrition. Recognizing the importance of the vaginal microbiome and its impact on various health outcomes allows individuals to proactively manage their vaginal health and reduce the risk of complications related to fertility, pregnancy, and cervical cancer progression.
Evvy, as discussed in the podcast episode, offers personalized at-home vaginal health testing and treatment options. The process involves a simple at-home vaginal health test where a Q-tip swab of the vagina is collected and sent back to Evvy's lab for whole genome metagenomic sequencing. This advanced sequencing technology allows Evvy to analyze the entire genome of the vaginal microbiome, identifying specific pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes, and biofilms.
Evvy's testing screens for over 700 microbes in the urogenital tract, providing detailed insights into the composition of the vaginal microbiome and any potential imbalances. It can also identify antibiotic resistance genes to ensure effective treatment and address biofilms that protect pathogenic microbes, enhancing treatment outcomes and promoting overall vaginal health.
Evvy's mission is to close the gender gap in healthcare by focusing on the vaginal microbiome. By partnering with healthcare providers and advocating for insurance coverage, Evvy aims to provide valuable insights and personalized care for individuals with vaginal health concerns. Their efforts to gather comprehensive data, demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach, and work towards broader recognition align with their goal of addressing the unique healthcare needs of individuals with vaginas.
