Mycoplasma is a common bacteria causing urinary tract infection (UTI). Unlike other bacteria, Mycoplasma has a unique treatment requirement and behaviour, and this is due to the absence of a cell wall. If you think you might be at risk of exposure to this infection or have had unprotected sex, then mycoplasma testing would be necessary for your sexual health and general well-being.

Why Should I Get Tested for Mycoplasma?

Early detection of Mycoplasma is key to effective treatment. If left undiagnosed or untreated, the infection can lead to serious health complications, particularly those affecting the reproductive system. Testing at the earliest stage helps ensure timely treatment and reduces the risk of long-term issues.

When Is Mycoplasma Testing Necessary?

You should consider a mycoplasma test if you’re experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful urination, or unusual discharge. Testing is also recommended if you’ve had unprotected sex with a new partner or multiple partners. Visiting a sexual health clinic can help confirm your status and ensure you receive the appropriate care.

Step-by-step procedure

Getting ready for the test

Getting prepared for a mycoplasma step is very easy. Avoid urinating at least 2 hours before the test to get the best results. Also, avoid using any vaginal creams or douching 24 hours before the test.

During the test

It is a very quick and simple procedure. This test is carried out by taking a urine sample for men or a swab sample for women. With the help of our expertly trained medical professional, we will guide you through the process and ensure you are comfortable.

Getting your results

Your results will be made available within a few days. Once your result is ready, our medical personnel will advise you on the next step to take for prevention and treatment if needed. If you have a positive result, we will provide care, support, counselling, and advice on a suitable treatment plan. All of this is done in confidentiality.
