Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma PCR Test (Urine)
Pinpoint the hidden bacteria behind persistent urinary symptoms.
This test is for anyone experiencing persistent urinary discomfort, unusual discharge, or unexplained genital irritation who needs clarity on whether Mycoplasma or Ureaplasma bacteria are involved. It is also suitable for those who have been treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI) or sexually transmitted infection (STI) without full resolution, or for individuals who simply want a discreet, accurate check of their urogenital health.
A simple urine sample is all that is required. The test screens for the presence of two specific groups of bacteria: Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. These organisms are common in the urogenital tract and can be passed through sexual contact. While often harmless, they can overgrow and cause symptoms such as a burning sensation when urinating, discharge, or pelvic discomfort. In some cases, they can lead to more serious complications if left untreated.
Why it matters
Identifying these bacteria allows you and your doctor to choose the right treatment and avoid unnecessary antibiotics. It also helps prevent the spread of infection to partners and reduces the risk of long-term complications. With a clear result, you can take confident, informed steps toward relief and better urogenital health.
