MensKey Complete (Male Urogenital Pathogen & Microbiome Panel)
Targeted qPCR + broad NGS insight for persistent urinary and prostate concerns
What it is
MensKey Complete is an advanced laboratory assessment for male urogenital samples (e.g., urine and semen). It’s designed to explore bacterial patterns that may be relevant in persistent or recurrent situations often discussed as chronic UTIs, prostatitis, or epididymitis—including polymicrobial and post-antibiotic contexts.
How it works
qPCR Report (targeted, quantitative):
Quantifies bacterial load, detects common bacterial targets, and screens for selected antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes as reported by the lab.
NGS Report (broad, high-resolution):
Uses next-generation sequencing to profile a very wide range of organisms (databases report 50,000+ species/taxa), offering broader context beyond targeted assays and indicating potential dominant organismspresent in the sample.
What it explores
Common urinary/urogenital bacteria associated in the literature with persistent urinary and prostate concerns
Community patterns (including potential polymicrobial findings)
AMR gene screening (qPCR/NGS) to flag resistance markers detected in the lab
What you receive
A digital qPCR report (targets, quantities, AMR gene screen)
A digital NGS report (broader organism list, relative abundances, and dominance patterns)
Clear charts/tables to help you understand the lab findings
Good to know
Follow the kit’s collection and timing instructions carefully (e.g., first-catch urine, pre-antibiotic timing where possible); prior antibiotics/antimicrobials may influence results.
Laboratory detection reflects organisms in the submitted sample; some may be present without causing symptoms.
AMR gene findings reflect laboratory screening and do not constitute a treatment plan.
Important: MensKey Complete provides laboratory information and wellness insights only. OWLY does not diagnose, prescribe, or recommend treatment. For medical evaluation or interpretation of results, please consult a qualified clinician (e.g., your GP or urologist).
