Evvy Founder Priyanka Jain: The Vaginal Microbiome: Chronic BV, IVF Success, and Genomics
from CLITEROLOGY · host Jacqueline Buckingham
Welcome to MENO — your go-to for perimenopause, menopause, and everything in between. Stop guessing and start sequencing. 30% of women have Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) at any given time, yet standard medical tests only look for a handful of microbes. Priyanka Jain, founder of Evvy, is using whole-genome metagenomic sequencing to close the gender data gap and help women reclaim their vaginal health. From recurrent infections to the hidden link between your microbiome and IVF success, we’re decoding the 700+ microbes that dictate your reproductive well-being. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: - The Standard Culture Failure: Why your "negative" test result still feels like an infection. - Microbiome & Fertility: The shocking impact of vaginal health on IVF and preterm birth. - Whole Genome Sequencing: How Evvy identifies pathogens, antibiotic resistance, and biofilms. - The "Lactobacilli" Defense: How beneficial bacteria create a protective barrier against STIs. - The Gender Research Gap: Why women have been historically ignored in clinical data.
