Having complicated or chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) is a health burden many women shoulder. The discomfort, fatigue, and emotional toll of recurring infections can be immense — especially when there seem to be no clear answers.
Routine UTI testing is only around 50% accurate, which means that for people who experience UTI after UTI, standard culture tests often miss the underlying cause. You may be told your test is “negative,” yet your body tells a very different story.
Let’s explore what’s really happening when infections persist, the systemic health risks of chronic UTIs, and a more comprehensive test that can identify all the bacteria and fungi living within your urinary and vaginal microbiome.

If you think of the vaginal swab you do at the doctor’s as equivalent to the internet in the 1990s—it shows some information but it’s limited and often leaves out crucial details—then MicroGenDX is like the internet in 2025: fast, efficient, and able to show us nearly everything we need to know.
No more guessing! Those frustrating, recurrent infections that don’t respond to antibiotics or antifungal treatments? No problem. Those lingering UTIs with no apparent cause? We’ll find it.

Recurrent or resistant thrush can be incredibly frustrating—especially when you've done all the “right” things, and yet the symptoms persist. One lesser-known reason why some yeast infections don’t fully resolve is the presence of biofilms.
Understanding what biofilms are—and how they can protect Candida (the yeast responsible for thrush)—can offer a clearer path to lasting relief.

Tired of having the itch down there? That fishy odor getting you down? Resistant thrush infections, particularly recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), pose significant challenges for 138 million women globally each year. That’s 138 million women that do not have success with prescription fungal suppositories like clotrimazole. That is too many for a condition that we actually know how to treat effectively. Read on to find out about two key elements that may be the difference for the future of your vaginal microbiome.
