Boost Your Fertility
With Semen Microbiome
Test Package.
What We Screen For?
Rather than testing for just a limited list we screen for ALL good bacteria, harmful bacteria and yeast. So instead of guessing what’s going on we can tell you!
ALL Lactobacillus
Protective bacteria. We screen for ALL Lactobacillus species
Known to be protective in the reproductive tract keeping it balanced, reduce infections and improve fertility outcomes.
2
ALL Commensal & Pathogenic Bacteria
These bacteria can cause disease. We screen for ALL bacteria present in the sample. This includes Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, BV, Strep and more. If it's there we screen for it.
Bacteria that can cause imbalance and lead to infections and complications
3
ALL Yeast & Fungi
All Yeast and fungi species including ALL Candida species and mould like Aspergillus.
Known to be protective in the reproductive tract keeping it balanced, reduce infections and improve fertility outcomes.
Why ScreenMe uses NGS Technology?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is the best way to analyse vaginal and seminal microbiomes due to its ability to conduct a comprehensive analysis of complex microbial communities. NGS can identify a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, even in low abundances, which can be significant in many cases. Unlike the conventional PCR method, which screens for a selection of microorganisms, NGS can accurately classify ALL microorganisms at the species or strain level.
Who is this service for?
If you are struggling with fertility
Whether you have poor sperm health or failed IVF cycles, the microbiome in the semen could be contributing. Consider testing and treating before trying again.
If your Partner has Recurrent Infections
If your partner suffers from recurrent genital tract infections, it’s essential to check both partners’ microbiomes.
If you have poor prostate health
Scientific research has shown that pathogenic bacterial overgrowth can cause prostate inflammation and disease.

To Whom may Be concerned
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide you with the results of your recent seminal microbiome analysis. Below, you will find a summary of your results and the recommended steps moving forward.
Summary of Findings:
Your seminal microbiome analysis revealed the following:
- Moderate Bacterial Load: Your sample showed a bacterial load of just over 1,700,000 bacterial genomes per ml, which is considered elevated in the context of the seminal microbiome.
- Potentially Pathogenic Bacterial Species Identified:
- Moderate Levels: Streptococcus and Anaerococcus.
- Low Levels: Gardnerella, Prevotella, and Veillonella.
- Fungal Species Identified:
- A range of low-level fungal species were identified in the semen microbiome test (full list found in report).
Interpretation:
- Some Potentially Pathogenic Bacteria found (Comprehensive list found in report):
- Streptococcus and Anaerococcus: These bacteria can be part of the normal genital flora but, at moderate levels, may contribute to low-grade inflammation that could affect sperm health.
- Gardnerella and Prevotella: These are typically associated with bacterial vaginosis in women but can also be present in the male reproductive tract causing inflammation and indicating BV related dysbiosis.
- Veillonella: An anaerobic bacterium that can be associated with inflammation when present in the seminal fluid.
Recommended Next Steps:
**This will vary depending on your specific results, symptoms, and consultation with your ScreenMe intimate health practitioner. Steps may include: Anti-inflammatory supplements, probiotics, or specific antibiotics …

"I had an amazing experience with ScreenMe. The service was prompt and professional. They helped me track my nutrition through my pregnancy and advised on how to boost certain nutrients- linked both to my personal profile and my foetus’ developmental needs at different stages. I had a healthy pregnancy and baby girl. The midwives noted how large and healthy my placenta was and I put this down to the invaluable advice and guidance I received from ScreenMe."
"Knowledgeable experts who give simple yet effective day to day advice to help you get healthier. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in trying to get healthier in the long run, beyond what is available via doctors/online."
Excellent experience. I'm so glad this type of service is available for females! Golnoush has been very helpful. I recommend this to all females especially before trying to conceive.
Great experience using this company, would recommend.
Loved the simplicity of the whole process. Super easy to give your sample and very professional consultation with Doctor's. I'm very happy with the service I received so far and will continue to use ScreenMe.
Some things are almost impossible to get diagnosed by a GP or gynaecologist using traditional methods and tests. Taking the microbiome test gave me the insights I needed to understand what was going on and find a solution. The ScreenMe team and Golnoush are very helpful and responsive. Defintely reccommended!
Amazing service and great support. I have been struggling with issues for a long time and my GP kept fobbing me off. The consultation after my results helped me so much and even when I contacted with questions later they responded, even when late. They also accommodated me when I could only do a later appointment due to work. Really couldn’t ask for better service.
“I didn’t think this [pregnancy] was possible for me, I’m so grateful for all the support and insight I received from ScreenMe; that didn’t just improve my fertility chances, but also improved my overall health and wellbeing. I now feel the best I have ever felt and have a beautiful baby boy to enjoy life with!”
I used Screen Me’s vaginal microbiome test and would highly recommend. My results highlighted a few things that I could work on and perhaps confirmed something I’d known deep down for a long time. Now I have a path forward! The test itself was easy to do and the results were clear and easy to read, with some helpful tips. If you do this test I’m sure you won’t regret it, the information is so valuable to your well-being, and I’m grateful that this company is here to do this important female test. Thank you!
