How to test for Ureaplasma

How it Works

What is Ureaplasma urealyticum?

Ureaplasma is a type of bacteria that belongs to the class Mycoplasma.  It is passed from one person to another through sexual contact.  Many people already have ureaplasma bacteria in their bodies and they don't have any negative effects. In cases like this, there is no need for any treatment.  If the bacteria grow too high in numbers they can cause illness.  When people do have symptoms from ureaplasma infection they are often very similar to other infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and mycoplasma genitalium,

Ureaplasma symptoms in females

• Pain during urination.
• Unusual or unpleasant discharge
• Abnormal vaginal discharge
• Lower abdominal pains

Ureaplasma symptoms in males

• Pain during urination
• Wetness at the penile tip
• Unusual or foul-smelling discharge
• Pain or discomfort around the urethra

How do you test for Ureaplasma

Because the symptoms of Ureaplasma are common to other types of infections, testing is the best way to identify what type of infection you have.  Knowing what the infection is will help your doctor determine the best treatment course.  If you or your partner are experiencing symptoms, getting tested will help to avoid long-term health complications and potentially passing the infections to others.
