Where can I get tested for Mycoplasma Genitalium?

How it Works

What is a Mycoplasma Infection?

Mycoplasma is a family of bacteria.  Compared to other species of bacteria, Mycoplasma are smaller and lack cell walls.  This makes some types of antibiotics such as penicillin ineffective in treating mycoplasma infections.  Mycoplasma can infect many different parts of the body.  Some species can be spread through sexual contact and infect the urethra, urinary tract, or genitals.  Some of these STI-causing species of mycoplasma include Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum.

Genital Mycoplasma Symptoms

Sexually transmitted mycoplasma infections tend to be more common in women but can affect anyone.  Some infections will not cause any symptoms or may take a while before any symptoms appear.  For women, some symptoms can include pain during intercourse, pain during urination, swelling around the urethra, vaginal discharge, and vaginal bleeding.  Women who are pregnant can pass the infection to their infants and may experience complications with their pregnancy.  For men, symptoms can include stinging or burning during urination, swelling of the urethra, and discharge from the penis.

Genital Mycoplasma Treatment

Determining the most effective treatment for a genital mycoplasma infection depends on accurately identifying the type of infection.  Since different types of mycoplasma cause similar symptoms, lab testing should be done to properly identify the source of the infection.  To save time, a Genital Mycoplasma testing panel can be ordered.  This panel checks for several common types of mycoplasma infections rather than just testing for them one at a time.  Once you have test results showing the type of infection, your doctor can determine the best way to treat it.
