Diagnostic Focus
What is the Gyne Profile – Male?
Despite its traditional name, the Gyne Profile – Male is a diagnostic test adapted specifically to evaluate male reproductive and urogenital health. It provides a comprehensive screening by combining a Genital Swab Culture to identify common bacterial and fungal infections, and an advanced STI 4 PCR Panel to detect the precise genetic material of major sexually transmitted pathogens.
STI 4 PCR Screening
Advanced genetic testing accurately detects:
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Mycoplasma genitalium
- Trichomonas vaginalis
Bacterial & Fungal Culture
Swab cultures identify non-STI infections like:
- Candida spp. (Yeast infections)
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Strep)
- Localized skin or mucosal bacteria
Symptom Investigation
The panel is highly effective for evaluating:
- Unusual penile discharge
- Pain or burning during urination
- Genital itching, redness, or discomfort
- Causes of non-gonococcal urethritis
Component Index
What Is Included in the Male Profile?
This comprehensive male profile utilizes highly sensitive diagnostic methods to give your doctor a complete map of your urogenital health, identifying both common and lesser-known pathogens.
1. Advanced STI 4 PCR Panel
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing looks for the specific DNA of pathogens, making it much more accurate than older testing methods.
- Major STIs: Detects Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the two most common bacterial STIs.
- Mycoplasma genitalium: A significant STI pathogen that frequently causes urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) in men but is often missed by standard tests.
- Trichomonas vaginalis: Detects the parasite responsible for trichomoniasis.
2. Genital Swab Culture
This component involves physically growing the bacteria or fungi from the swab in our laboratory.
- Candida spp.: Identifies yeast that can cause balanitis (inflammation and itching of the head of the penis).
- Staphylococcus & Streptococcus: Checks for Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) to rule out other bacterial causes of genital irritation or infection.
When Should You Take This Test?
The Male Profile is ideal for men experiencing symptoms of a possible infection, such as unusual discharge, pain during urination, or discomfort in the genital area. It is also highly recommended for routine STI screening if you are sexually active, have multiple partners, or have had recent unprotected sexual activity. For more information on sexual health screenings, read the NHS guide on STIs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this test require a blood sample?
No, this Male Profile is conducted using a genital swab and a urine sample. Therefore, there is no phlebotomy (blood draw) fee attached to this test.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No fasting is required. However, for the most accurate urine PCR results, you should ideally hold your urine for at least 1 to 2 hours prior to providing the sample.
How quickly will I get my results?
Because the bacterial culture takes several days to grow accurately in the laboratory, the complete turnaround time for this comprehensive profile is 7 days.
What is the difference between a culture and a PCR test?
A culture involves physically growing the bacteria or fungi on a dish to see what is present. A PCR test is a highly advanced molecular test; it scans the sample for the specific DNA of a pathogen, allowing it to detect infections that are difficult to culture, like Chlamydia and Mycoplasma.
What should I do if a result is positive?
If any STI, yeast, or bacterial infection is detected, we highly recommend booking a GP consultation. The vast majority of these infections are easily curable with a short course of targeted antibiotics or antifungal medication.

Most Searched Online Questions About Male Sexual Health
Can men get yeast infections?
Yes. Candida (the fungus that causes yeast infections) can affect men, leading to a condition called balanitis, which causes redness, itching, and irritation on the head of the penis. Our culture swab specifically checks for this.
What is Mycoplasma genitalium?
Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) is a sexually transmitted bacterium that can cause urethritis in men, leading to painful urination and discharge. It acts similarly to Chlamydia but is often missed by standard, basic STI tests.
Can I take this test if I have no symptoms?
Yes. Many STIs, including Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, can be completely asymptomatic in men for a long time. Routine screening is the best way to protect your health and the health of your partners.
