Ureaplasma is a group of small bacteria that reside naturally in the genital flora of women and men. While the bacteria are usually harmless, an imbalance can result in different infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs) and complications in pregnancy. Understanding Ureaplasma is important to maintain your sexual health and well-being.
Ureaplasma testing is necessary if you experience symptoms such as a burning sensation while urinating or unusual discharge or if your partner tested positive for Ureaplasma. It is advisable for people with multiple sex partners or about to enter a new sexual relationship to get tested.
Ureaplasma testing is important for several reasons, including diagnosing symptoms, avoiding potential complications such as pregnancy issues or infertility, and preventing its spread to sexual partners.
Abstaining from sexual activity is necessary while preparing for your test. Also, do not use antiseptic products in your genital area for at least 24 hours before your Ureaplasma test to ensure your result is accurate.
The Ureaplasma test is straightforward. It involves collecting a swab from the cervix or urethra or a urine sample. Our experienced healthcare professionals will ensure the process is comfortable and quick.
Results are usually available within a few days. We ensure utmost confidentiality when delivering results and provide comprehensive support for further steps, depending on your result.
