Androflor Screen (for Men)

Androflor Screen — Advanced Male Urogenital Microbiota Analysis

Androflor Screen is a comprehensive molecular test designed to provide a detailed evaluation of the male urogenital microbiota. The analysis identifies both beneficial and potentially pathogenic microorganisms, offering a complete overview of the microbiological balance.

This test is essential for the accurate diagnosis of urogenital infections, dysbiosis, and for establishing targeted and effective treatment.

What the analysis includes:

Normal (resident) microbiota:

Staphylococcus spp.

Streptococcus spp.

Corynebacterium spp.

Transient microflora:

Lactobacillus spp.

Opportunistic microorganisms (OPM) — opportunistic microflora associated with urogenital dysbiosis:

Gardnerella vaginalis

Ureaplasma urealyticum

Ureaplasma parvum

Mycoplasma hominis

Anaerobic microorganisms:

Atopobium cluster

Megasphaera spp. / Veillonella spp. / Dialister spp.

Sneathia spp. / Leptotrichia spp. / Fusobacterium spp.

Bacteroides spp. / Porphyromonas spp. / Prevotella spp.

Peptostreptococcus spp. / Parvimonas spp.

Anaerococcus spp.

Eubacterium spp.

Aerobic microorganisms:

Enterobacteriaceae spp. / Enterococcus spp.

Yeast-like fungi:

Candida spp.

Specific STI pathogens (bacterial and protozoal):

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Chlamydia trachomatis

Mycoplasma genitalium

Trichomonas vaginalis

The test is recommended in the following situations:

urogenital symptoms (burning, discharge, discomfort)

acute or chronic prostatitis

male infertility

suspected sexually transmitted infections

urogenital microbiota imbalance

treatment monitoring

It is also recommended when routine tests are normal but symptoms persist.

Preparation for the Androflor Screen test

avoid sexual intercourse for 2–3 days before the test, including masturbation, as it may affect the microbial composition

do not urinate for 2–3 hours before sample collection, since the first portion of urine helps detect microorganisms

avoid applying local products (gels, creams, antiseptics) to the genital area for 1–2 days before testing

avoid antibiotics or antifungal treatments for approximately 2–3 weeks before the test, unless specifically advised by your doctor

perform intimate hygiene the day before, and avoid antibacterial products on the day of sample collection

Additionally:

it is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours before testing

if you have obvious symptoms (discharge, pain), inform your doctor before sample collection

sample collection is generally performed during the first part of the day

Following these recommendations helps prevent inconclusive results and reduces the need for repeat testing.

Results are available in approximately 5 business days.
