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?

Detecting Mycoplasma at the early stages is essential for an effective treatment regimen. Untreated and undiagnosed Mycoplasma can result in several severe health complications affecting the reproductive cycle. Early mycoplasma testing helps ensure that the infection is treated promptly to reduce long-term health effects.


When is a mycoplasma test necessary?

Mycoplasma test is necessary if you notice symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful urination, and unusual or coloured discharge. If you notice any of these symptoms or have been involved in unprotected sexual intercourse with a new partner or multiple sexual partners, then visit a sexual health clinic for mycoplasma testing.

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.
