Product Information

The irritation, itching, burning, and abnormal discharge that come with a yeast infection is due to a form of inflammation, called vaginitis, that can have many different causes. The most common ones are yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV), trichomoniasis, and atrophic vaginitis. It’s difficult to say for sure which infection is causing your discomfort without an exam and/or testing. When testing is performed by a medical provider, the provider is able to choose from a variety of tests based on a patient’s symptoms and the results of a physical exam. In contrast, at-home testing options are limited to vaginal pH and NAAT testing. Yeast infection is just one of many vaginal health factors that Tiny Health’s test measures.
