Wat is een microbioom test?
Een microbioomtest is een uitgebreide analyse van de bacteriën in je darmen op basis van een ontlastingsmonster. Dit microbioom onderzoek onthult de samenstelling, diversiteit en balans van je darmbacteriën. Met behulp van DNA-sequencing worden mogelijke disbalansen opgespoord, die waardevolle inzichten bieden voor het verbeteren van je darmgezondheid, spijsvertering en algehele welzijn. Ontdek hoe een microbioomtest je kan helpen om gepersonaliseerde stappen te zetten voor een betere gezondheid.
Wat is het microbioom?
Je lichaam herbergt miljarden micro-organismen, zoals bacteriën, schimmels en virussen, vooral in je darmen. Samen vormen ze jou microbioom, dat essentieel is voor de gezondheid. Goede darmbacteriën helpen bij de spijsvertering, ondersteunen het immuunsysteem en controleren schadelijke microben.
Wanneer een microbioomtest te doen?
Een darm microbioom test helpt de samenstelling en balans van jouw darmbacteriën te identificeren. Het is nuttig als je:
Symptomen ervaart zoals een opgeblazen gevoel, diarree of constipatie;
Recent antibiotica heeft gebruikt en je darmflora wilt herstellen;
Chronische problemen heeft zoals het prikkelbare darm syndroom (PDS) of immuunproblemen;
Je darmgezondheid wilt verbeteren als preventieve zorg.
Zelfs zonder symptomen kan de test verborgen disbalansen onthullen voor een vroege interventie.
Let op:Als je ernstige of verontrustende symptomen hebt, raadpleeg dan eerst een arts om te zorgen dat de test de juiste stap is voor jouw gezondheid.
Wat zijn probiotica?
Probiotica zijn levende micro-organismen, zoals bacteriën en gisten, die jouw gezondheid kunnen ondersteunen wanneer je ze in de juiste hoeveelheden inneemt. Ze helpen de balans en diversiteit van jouw darmmicrobioom te verbeteren, ondersteunen een gezonde spijsvertering, versterken je immuunsysteem en dragen bij aan je algehele welzijn.
Belangrijkste voordelen van probiotica:
Herstel de darmbalans: Herbouw nuttige darmbacteriën, vooral na het gebruik van antibiotica.
Ondersteun de spijsvertering: Verlicht symptomen zoals een opgeblazen gevoel en diarree.
Versterk de immuniteit: Versterk de darmwand en bevorder de productie van beschermende verbindingen.
Zelfs zonder symptomen kan de test verborgen onevenwichtigheden aan het licht brengen voor vroege interventie.
Versterk je immuunsysteem:
Maak je darmwand sterker en stimuleer de aanmaak van beschermende stoffen.
Wat zijn prebiotica?
Prebiotica zijn niet-verteerbare vezels die selectief de nuttige darmbacteriën, zoals Bifidobacteriën en Lactobacillen, voeden, wat hun groei en activiteit bevordert. Ze zijn cruciaal voor het onderhouden van een gebalanceerd en veerkrachtig darmmicrobioom door een gezonder microbiële omgeving te stimuleren.
Belangrijkste voordelen van prebiotica:
Voed goede bacteriën: Ondersteun de groei van nuttige microben voor een betere spijsvertering.
Versterk de darm: Verhoog korte-keten vetzuren zoals boterzuur om ontstekingen te verminderen.
Verbeter de spijsvertering: Helpt gasvorming en stoelgang te reguleren.
Zelfs zonder symptomen kan de test verborgen onevenwichtigheden aan het licht brengen, zodat er vroegtijdig ingegrepen kan worden.
Let op:
Als u ernstige of zorgwekkende symptomen heeft, raadpleeg dan een arts voordat u de test uitvoert om er zeker van te zijn dat dit de juiste stap is voor jou gezondheid.

This Easly STI self-test is part of our range of STI tests. With it, you can discreetly find out whether or not you are infected with one of the following STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas or mycoplasma. Buying this STI test is suitable if, for example, you have been informed by an (anonymous) partner that your sexual partner is infected with a specific STI and you want to rule out that you have also become infected. When ordering this test package, choose a test for men or women. Additionally, you can add extra samples, depending on your sexual behaviour. This test includes a medical test certificate.
What is being tested for?
Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas
What does the STI Budget test entail?
With the STI Budget test, your bodily material is analysed via a PCR test for the pathogens of one of the following STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas or mycoplasma. You decide which STI home test you choose. You also have the option to send multiple samples from multiple body locations to the laboratory, in addition to a standard sample for men or women. This depends on your sexual behaviour.
This affordable and reliable STI home test is very suitable if you want to know specifically if you have contracted a certain STI, for example, because you have been warned by a sexual partner. This test may also be suitable if you want to know as a precaution if you are infected with chlamydia (the most common STI) and want to rule out passing chlamydia to a new partner.
Information about the STIs in this test kit.
Below you can find at a glance the most important information about chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas or mycoplasma. Click on the links for more detailed information.
Chlamydia
Is the most common STI.
Is caused by a bacterium.
Approximately 70% of women and 50% of men develop no symptoms.
Untreated chlamydia can cause severe inflammation, for example, in the cervix, bladder, and rectum.
Chlamydia LGV is a variant of chlamydia that mainly occurs in the anus of men who have sex with men. This variant can cause more severe symptoms.
Although rare, chlamydia can lead to infertility.
In pregnant women, chlamydia can pose a danger to the unborn baby.
Chlamydia can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhoea is the second most common STI after chlamydia and is caused by a bacterium.
Also known as 'the clap' due to the characteristic pus-like discharge from the penis.
Infection mainly occurs among men who have sex with men.
Untreated, it can cause many problems and, among other things, lead to infertility in women.
In pregnant women, a gonorrhoea infection poses a danger to the unborn baby.
Can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma is a relatively unknown STI and is caused by a bacterium.
It is not entirely clear how common mycoplasma is.
Mycoplasma is often only tested for if symptoms persist and there is no evidence of chlamydia or gonorrhoea.
The symptoms of mycoplasma are similar to the symptoms of chlamydia.
Mycoplasma does not always need to be treated, but can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
Trichomonas
Trichomonas is caused by a parasite.
Men usually do not develop symptoms in the case of a trichomonas infection.
For women, 20% to 50% will develop symptoms.
In pregnant women, trichomonas poses a risk to the unborn baby, as an infection can lead to premature rupture of the membranes.
Trichomonas can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
Is this test suitable for you?
For the most reliable result, it is important that you choose the correct STI test. The right STI home test is a test for the right type of STI or STIs and for the right samples: a vaginal swab, a urine sample, an anal swab, an oral swab, or a combination. This depends on several factors, including: your gender, your sexual practices, and whether you may belong to a risk group. Easily find out if this test is suitable for you by going through our selection tool or consulting our medical team.
Go through here the Easly STI test guide
Can you test already?
Before you take a test, it's important to consider the incubation period of an STI. The incubation period is the time between the moment of infection and the moment an STI is detectable through a test. If you test too early, your test may come back negative even though you are infected. This is a false-negative result. Below you will find a table with the incubation periods per STI.
STI
Incubation Period
When to test
Chlamydia
14 days
Two weeks after unprotected sex. Test immediately if you have symptoms and repeat the test after two weeks if the result is negative.
Gonorrhoea
14 days
Two weeks after unprotected sex. Test immediately if you have symptoms and repeat the test after two weeks if the result is negative.
Trichomonas
21 days
Four weeks after unprotected sex. Test immediately if you have symptoms and repeat the test after four weeks if the result is negative.
Mycoplasma
28 days
If there are persistent symptoms, without indications of Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea. Testing for mycoplasma is especially useful for men with persistent symptoms.
Herpes
4 days
Immediately if blisters are present in or around the vagina, on or around the penis, in or around the anus.
Syphilis (primary)
10 to 90 days
Immediately if a sore (ulcer) is present in or around the vagina, on or around the penis, in or around the anus, or in the mouth.

What is being tested for?
Genital syphilis
What is syphilis and how common is it?
Genital herpes is an STI caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), with two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both can cause blisters around the genitals, anus, or mouth. HSV-1 is primarily associated with cold sores (herpes labialis) on the mouth, which is not an STI, but the virus can also cause genital herpes through oral-genital transmission. The virus remains in the body for life. In 2019, approximately 28,840 people were diagnosed with genital herpes.
What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
Genital herpes is a common virus that causes blisters on the genitals or mouth and is spread through skin-to-skin contact. The virus remains in the body for life and may be asymptomatic. During the initial infection, symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, headache, painful urination, and blisters around the genitals, anus, or mouth may occur. Symptoms often differ between men and women.
Common symptoms in women:
Blisters in or around the vagina, anus, or mouth.
Fever and a general feeling of illness.
Burning sensation during urination.
Vaginal discharge.
Swollen lymph nodes, such as in the groin.
Common symptoms in men:
Blisters on or around the penis, anus, or mouth.
Fever and a general feeling of illness.
Pain or burning sensation during urination.
Swollen lymph nodes, such as in the groin.
What are the consequences of genital herpes?
Genital herpes rarely causes serious complications but can be more severe in people with a weakened immune system or skin conditions. Pregnant women can transmit the virus during childbirth, which can lead to neonatal herpes in babies, causing damage to the skin, eyes, nervous system, and organs.
How does the Easly Genital Herpes Test work?
The Easly Genital Herpes Test is designed to detect Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) using the accurate and reliable PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method.
Key features of the test:
Detects active infections: The test focuses on detecting active herpes infections. While it does not distinguish between past and current infections, it accurately identifies the presence of the virus during an outbreak.
Advanced PCR technology: The PCR method amplifies the genetic material of the virus, allowing for highly accurate detection, even with small amounts of sample. This ensures reliable results for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Swab-based sample collection: Samples are collected with a cotton swab from active blisters, ensuring a simple and non-invasive procedure.
How and when to test for genital herpes?
A Herpes PCR test is only suitable when blisters are present. The Easly PCR test can detect the herpes simplex virus in the tested material, but not immediately after infection. The incubation period, the time between infection and when the virus is detectable, is between 2 and 12 days, with an average of 4 days. Below you will find more information about the best testing time.
