Femoflor Screen – Detailed Analysis of Vaginal Microflora

The health of the vaginal microflora plays an important role in preserving women’s intimate, reproductive, and general health. Disruption of the vaginal flora can lead to frequent infections, fertility problems, and complications during pregnancy.

Therefore, precise and timely diagnostics are of great importance.

At Poliklinika Natal, the Femoflor analysis is available – a modern molecular PCR Real Time test for a detailed assessment of vaginal microflora.

What is Femoflor analysis?

Femoflor is an advanced laboratory analysis that assesses the composition of the vaginal microbiota, i.e., the ratio of beneficial and potentially pathogenic microorganisms.

The test enables:

  • determining the level of beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria
  • detection of vaginal flora imbalance
  • detection of bacteria associated with infections
  • detection of Candida fungi
  • identification of microorganisms that can affect fertility and pregnancy

The analysis is performed from one gynecological swab.

Why are Lactobacillus bacteria important?

Lactobacillus bacteria represent the natural protection of the vaginal environment. Their role is to:

  • maintain normal vaginal pH
  • prevent the multiplication of harmful microorganisms
  • reduce the risk of infections
  • contribute to the health of the reproductive system

A reduced number of these bacteria is often associated with vaginal discomfort and infections.

When is the Femoflor test recommended?

Femoflor analysis is particularly useful for:

  • frequent vaginal infections
  • increased discharge, burning, or unpleasant odor
  • recurrent bacterial vaginosis
  • fungal infections
  • fertility problems
  • preparation for pregnancy
  • preparation for gynecological interventions
  • post-therapy control

Advantages of the PCR Real Time method

Femoflor uses modern PCR Real Time technology that enables:

  • high precision and sensitivity (no false negative or false positive results)
  • detection of multiple microorganisms simultaneously
  • analysis from a single sample
  • fast results
  • reliable assessment of vaginal flora

Which microorganisms does the Femoflor panel cover?

The panel analysis includes the assessment of the presence and quantity of the following microorganisms (from a single swab):

  • Lactobacillus spp.
  • Enterobacteriaceae
  • Streptococcus spp.
  • Staphylococcus spp.
  • Gardnerella vaginalis
  • Prevotella bivia
  • Porphyromonas spp.
  • Eubacterium spp.
  • Sneathia spp.
  • Leptotrichia spp.
  • Fusobacterium spp.
  • Megasphaera spp.
  • Veillonella spp.
  • Dialister spp.
  • Lachnobacterium spp.
  • Clostridium spp.
  • Mobiluncus spp.
  • Corynebacterium spp.
  • Peptostreptococcus spp.
  • Atopobium vaginae
  • Candidiasis
  • Mycoplasma hominis
  • Ureaplasma (urealyticum + parvum)

Why is Femoflor important?

Conventional swabs sometimes do not provide a complete picture of the vaginal microflora. Femoflor analysis offers a detailed insight into the microbiological balance, which facilitates proper treatment and prevention of recurrent problems.
