What Santelle measures, and why
Six complementary indicators, validated on more than 10 million cases, to understand the exact origin of your intimate imbalance.
pH
Vaginal acidity
Rising acidity often goes hand in hand with an imbalance in the flora.
H₂O₂
Hydrogen peroxide
Produced by protective lactobacilli. A low level signals a depleted flora.
SNA
Sialidase
An enzyme associated with the bacteria involved in bacterial vaginosis.
LE
Leukocyte esterase
A marker of inflammation: it signals the presence of white blood cells.
β-G
β-glucuronidase
A bacterial enzyme, also linked to imbalances in the flora.
NAG
N-acetyl-glucosaminidase
An enzyme whose rise points more towards a yeast infection.
Developed with
experts
Santelle is developed with a scientific committee of gynaecologists, biologists and women’s health experts, to make sure our guidance is reliable and grounded in current medical knowledge.

Frequently asked questions
about the vaginal test
Who is the Santelle test useful for?
The Santelle test is recommended for women who want a simple way to monitor their vaginal balance and to react quickly if something is off. It can be particularly useful if you have recurring vaginal infections (yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, irritation, unusual odours) and want to detect an imbalance at the first signs; if you have unusual intimate symptoms such as itching, burning, discharge or discomfort, and want to check whether your vaginal flora is disrupted; if you want to check your intimate balance even without symptoms, to help prevent a vaginal infection and keep your vaginal flora healthy; if you are trying to conceive and want to support a balanced vaginal environment, which is better for intimate comfort and fertility; or if you are taking antibiotics, going through hormonal changes or are prone to intimate imbalances, as these situations can alter vaginal pH and weaken the flora. The Santelle test is for any woman who wants to understand her intimate health better, act quickly when in doubt and feel more at ease day to day.
What is a vaginal self-test?
A vaginal self-test is a test you carry out yourself, at home, to get a first indication of your intimate balance. It analyses certain biomarkers linked to vaginal pH and vaginal flora, to identify a possible imbalance or vaginal infection. Simple, quick and discreet, it helps you understand your symptoms better and know whether you should see a healthcare professional.
Is the Santelle vaginal test painful?
No, the Santelle test is designed to be simple, gentle and pain free. The sample is taken gently with a swab suited to intimate use. Most users describe the test as quick and comfortable.
Is it hard to do on your own?
No, the test was designed to be easy to use at home, even with no medical experience. Each kit contains clear step-by-step instructions for taking the sample and reading the results simply. The test usually takes only a few minutes.
How does the vaginal test detect a vaginal infection?
The Santelle test analyses several biomarkers associated with vaginal balance. When the vaginal flora is disrupted, certain indicators such as vaginal pH can change and reveal the possible presence of a vaginal infection or irritation. The test therefore gives you a first indication quickly, from home.
Is it reliable?
The Santelle test is based on the analysis of biomarkers recognised in the monitoring of vaginal balance. It gives a useful indication for spotting an intimate imbalance quickly and understanding your symptoms better. Like any self-test, it does not replace a medical diagnosis. If symptoms persist, if you are in pain or in doubt, we recommend seeing a healthcare professional.
Is my data confidential?
Yes. Information relating to your use of the test and to your results is handled in strict confidence. Santelle applies security measures designed to protect your personal data and your privacy.
What if I notice something abnormal?
If the test indicates an imbalance, or if you notice unusual symptoms (itching, burning, odours, unusual discharge, pain), we recommend seeing a healthcare professional. The Santelle test helps you act sooner, but only a doctor or a midwife can make a diagnosis and offer suitable treatment.
How often should you take a vaginal test?
How often depends on your situation and your needs. The test can be useful if you have unusual intimate symptoms; after a course of antibiotics; with recurring vaginal imbalances; before or during a pregnancy plan; or simply to keep an eye on your intimate balance as a precaution. If symptoms are frequent or persistent, medical advice is still recommended.
Which biomarkers does the Santelle vaginal test analyse?
The Santelle vaginal test analyses 6 complementary biomarkers: pH, H₂O₂, sialidase (SNA), leukocyte esterase (LE), β-glucuronidase (β-G) and N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG). Together these indicators assess vaginal balance and can point towards a vaginal infection, a yeast infection or a bacterial imbalance.
