Sexual Health · Sexually Transmitted Infections · Sex Hormones
This report reads your DNA and sorts every result into one of five plain-language groups, so you can see at a glance what deserves attention and what does not. Nothing here is a diagnosis. A flagged result means your genetics place you above or below the average person for that trait — a reason to ask a question, not a reason to worry.
Female Sexual Health — Sexual health is a key component of overall well-being, encompassing physical, emotional, and hormonal factors. Genetics can influence a woman's predisposition to a range of sexual health problems, including issues with sexual function and the experience of menopausal symptoms.
These are ordered by how closely they relate to your flagged results — not generic health advice. Marrow does not prescribe, dose, or tell you to take anything. Diet and lifestyle changes are listed first because they are yours to make. Anything you would swallow is listed separately, by name only, as something to raise with a clinician who knows your history and your medications.
Schedule and attend regular sessions with a licensed psychotherapist, typically once a week for 50-60 minutes, TA over a period of several months to years depending on your individual needs and progress.
Engage actively in exercises assigned by your therapist both during sessions and as homework to apply CBT strategies to daily life.
Schedule and attend sessions for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with a qualified healthcare provider.
Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.
TA through self-suggested affirmations.
Practice the techniques learned during sessions at home daily to improve symptoms and manage your condition.
These came up in the research behind your flagged results. They are listed by name so you can ask about them. Marrow is not recommending them, and gives no dose. Supplements interact with prescription medication and with each other — that conversation belongs with your clinician.
Of the 17 results in this package, these 4 came back furthest from the population average. Each one below explains what it is, where you sit, and which report it came from. Start here.
Genetics plays a role in the age at which menopause starts and the severity of symptoms.
For example, genetic variations that influence the metabolism of sex hormones are associated with the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
Women often follow a similar pattern as their mothers or sisters.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Key Takeaways: Genetics involved in painful periods influence pain, inflammation, and hormones.
Other risk factors include age, starting puberty young, periods with heavy bleeding, irregular periods, and stress.
If you experience symptoms, talk to a healthcare professional to rule out other health conditions and/or to manage pain.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), usually caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).
Genetics may also affect susceptibility to genital herpes.
Involved genes may play a role in the immune response, cell life cycle, and more.
Key Takeaways: About 40% of differences in people's chances of developing sexual dysfunction may be due to genetics.
Risk factors include getting older, hormone changes, stress, and certain health conditions.
If you are experiencing symptoms, check with your doctor for possible solutions.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.
Other risk factors include certain medications and health conditions, use of intrauterine devices (IUD), and stress.
Up to 55% of people who menstruate may have heavy periods.
If you have high genetic risk or experience symptoms, talk to your healthcare professional about the best actions to take.
The remaining results, grouped by what they mean. Every one of these is explained in full — with the genes and variants behind it — in the technical version of this report.
Genetics is a predisposition, not a verdict. The single most useful thing you can do with this document is take it to a clinician and talk through the flagged findings — especially any that line up with symptoms you already have or conditions that run in your family. Nothing here changes: your DNA is the same at 60 as it is today, so this report does not expire.
Genotyping was performed on DNA extracted from a buccal (cheek) swab using a genome-wide array. Results are derived from peer-reviewed genome-wide association data and, where applicable, published clinical guidelines. Each report was scored independently against its own reference set. Percentile figures describe where your result sits relative to a reference population.
This is a laboratory-developed test. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Genotyping does not detect all variants in the genes assessed; the absence of a flagged result does not exclude risk. Predisposition is probabilistic and is modified by environment, lifestyle, ancestry and family history. Results must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional and must not be used alone to diagnose, treat, or alter any medication regimen. Marrow does not recommend, prescribe, or dose any supplement or medication.
