Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are highly common, but frequently overlooked bacterial infections found in sexually active adults. Many people carry these organisms without symptoms, which means they can be unknowingly shared between partners or persist for months without proper treatment.
Because symptoms often mimic other conditions or may not appear at all, testing is the only reliable way to confirm whether treatment is needed. Our test uses a simple, non-invasive urine sample to accurately detect both M. hominis and U. urealyticum for fast, discreet answers
Why This Test Matters:
These organisms can persist in the urogenital tract and may contribute to a range of symptoms and complications, including:
Urethritis (irritation of the urethra)
Vaginal or cervical inflammation
Pelvic discomfort
Recurrent urinary symptoms
Pain or irritation during intercourse
Because these infections are easily passed between partners and can remain undetected, early testing helps prevent ongoing symptoms and reduces the risk of reinfection.
Possible Symptoms of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum:
Most people don’t notice symptoms, but when they do appear, it may be weeks or even months after exposure.
In Women:
Unusual vaginal discharge
Burning or pain when urinating
Pelvic or lower abdominal discomfort
Pain during sex
Vaginal irritation or spotting
In Men:
Pain or burning with urination
Urethral discharge
Penile itching or irritation
Occasional testicular discomfort
Even if symptoms improve temporarily, these infections rarely resolve without the correct antibiotic treatment.
Who Is at Higher Risk?
Anyone who has unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex can become infected. Pregnant individuals may also be encouraged to test, as these organisms have been associated with certain pregnancy-related complications in some studies. Because reinfection is common, partners should be tested and treated together when necessary.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait To Test:
When treated early, both infections can be easily treated. But when left untreated, it increases the risk of contracting or transmitting HIV and can lead to other serious health problems:
In Women:
Cervical or vaginal inflammation
Pelvic discomfort
Potential risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes (research continues to evolve)
In Men:
Persistent urethritis
Prostate or epididymal irritation
Ongoing genital discomfort
Testing now ensures clear answers, timely treatment, and peace of mind.
Yes, They’re Curable!
The good news: Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are curable. If your test result is positive for either infection (or both), our doctors can prescribe fast-acting antibiotics for you as most infections are cleared with a simple course of medication. Just avoid sexual activity for at least one week during treatment to prevent spreading the infection.
