Using repeat testing during a difficult urinary-infection journey
After repeated urinary symptoms, this person worked with a clinician who used MicroGenDX urine and vaginal tests to guide a broader treatment plan. They later reported relief and follow-up results without bacterial growth in urine, and said they were still doing well in a ten-month update.

Checking progress after recurrent vaginal symptoms
After recurring vaginal symptoms and several treatments, this person used a MicroGenDX follow-up test while changing their routine. They reported a result dominated by protective bacteria and relief from itching and redness, using the test to check progress rather than relying only on how they felt.
