Private Mycoplasma Testing London

Mycoplasma is a bacterium that causes different infections, but most commonly urogenital tract infections. Mycoplasma doesn’t have a cell wall, unlike other bacteria, making its behaviour and treatment requirements unique. Understanding this infection is important to maintain your sexual health and ensure your well-being and that of your partners.

When should I have a Mycoplasma test?

It is advisable to have a Mycoplasma test if you experience symptoms such as a burning sensation while urinating, pelvic pain, or unusual sexual discharge. Also, if you previously had an unprotected sexual encounter or think your partner is infected, testing for Mycoplasma is necessary for your safety.

Why is Mycoplasma testing important?

Early Mycoplasma detection is vital for an effective treatment. Untreated Mycoplasma can lead to several severe health issues, including reproductive complications. Testing also ensures that any identified infection gets treated immediately, reducing the long-term health effects.

Procedure

• Preparing for the test

If you want to undergo a Mycoplasma test, you should avoid urinating for at least one hour before the test. Avoid using any medications or creams in your genital area for at least 24 hours before your test.

• During the test

Mycoplasma testing is a simple and quick procedure. It usually requires a urine sample for men and a swab sample for women. Our trained healthcare provider will guide you during the processes, ensuring your privacy and comfort.
