Do you use blood or urine to test for Mycoplasma genitalium?
We use a urine test to detect Mycoplasma genitalium, a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. The test looks for the bacteria's genetic material (DNA) using highly sensitive nucleic acid amplification (NAA) technology. Only a small urine sample is required, no blood draw, swabbing, or undressing is needed.How do I prepare for a Mycoplasma genitalium urine test?
You must avoid urinating for at least one hour before your test. Female test takers are encouraged to avoid cleansing the labial area before providing a sample. No fasting is required. No other preparation is necessary.When should I test for Mycoplasma genitalium?
You should test if you're experiencing symptoms such as pain during urination, abnormal discharge, pelvic pain, or irritation, or if a sexual partner has tested positive. Testing is also recommended if you've had unprotected sex or new partners. Because M. genitalium can be asymptomatic, routine testing may be wise for individuals at higher risk for STIs.How do I read my Mycoplasma genitalium test results?
Your results will show either "detected" or "not detected." Detected means M. genitalium DNA was found in your urine sample, indicating an active infection that requires treatment. Not detected means no infection was found.Is there a Mycoplasma genitalium cure?
Yes. Mycoplasma genitalium is easily curable with prescription antibiotics. If you test positive, you are eligible for a consultation with one of our clinicians; and if need be, antibiotics can be prescribed for you.Who should be tested for Mycoplasma genitalium?
Anyone who is sexually active can contract M. genitalium. Testing is especially important for those with new or multiple partners, inconsistent condom use, or a history of other STIs. Individuals with persistent urethritis, cervicitis, or pelvic pain that hasn't been explained by other infections should also be tested. Early detection helps prevent complications and ensures timely treatment.
When is the Right Time to Test For Mycoplasma Genitalium?
The right time to test for Mycoplasma Genitalium depends on your exposure and symptoms. If you've had unprotected sex or a partner has tested positive, it's best to test 2-3 weeks after potential exposure, as this allows time for the bacteria to reach detectable levels.
You should also test immediately if you have symptoms such as burning during urination, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge. Even without symptoms, routine screening is recommended for sexually active individuals with multiple partners or recurring urogenital infections, as M. genitalium often causes no obvious signs.
If you are not aware of your sexual status regarding other STDs, including Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV-1, HIV-2, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HSV 1 and HSV 2, or Trichomoniasis, then our doctors strongly recommend the 13 Test Panel, which tests for the most common STDs.
