I am joined by Dr. Golnoush Golshirazi, CEO and founder of ScreenMe.


We discuss the importance of the vaginal and seminal microbiome in women's and men's health. Golnoush explains that the vaginal microbiome is a diverse ecosystem of microorganisms that plays a crucial role in protecting the reproductive system and modulating the immune system.

Dysbiosis, or an imbalanced microbiome, can lead to recurring infections and fertility complications.


However, traditional testing methods, such as cultures and PCR, are limited in their accuracy and scope. ScreenMe offers next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests that provide a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of the vaginal and seminal microbiome. The results can help guide personalized treatment plans and improve fertility outcomes.
