Mycoplasma Genitalium

Mycoplasma Genitalium is a bacterial infection that is passed on during sex. It is an STI, a sexually transmitted infection. It is often the cause of urethritis. As the bacterium is not specifically tested for when you go to an NHS GUM clinic, these infections are categorised under the umbrella heading of non- specific urethritis (NSU). The infection is easy to treat though it has recently started to show resistance to some antibiotics. If you test positive for Mycoplasma Genitalium, it is recommended that you be treated, even if you are not displaying any symptoms.

Symptoms of Mycoplasma Genitalium

A person can have a Mycoplasma Genitalium infection and show no symptoms. The following symptoms, however, have have been seen in people with a Mycoplasma Genitalium infection:

• A burning or stinging sensation when peeing.
• Discharge from the man’s urethra.
• Discharge from the vagina.
• Pain in the woman’s pelvic area and bleeding during sexual intercourse.

Is there a test for Mycoplasma Genitalium?

Yes, you can be tested for Mycoplasma Genitalium either with a vaginal swab or a urine test using PCR technology.

Treatment for Mycoplasma Genitalium

Azithromycin is the usual antibiotic prescribed for Mycoplasma Genitalium, though it has been shown that a single 1000mg dose does not have an acceptable success rate and can allow resistance to develop. Therefore, a five-day course of Azithromycin is usually prescribed and has a good success rate. If Azithromycin cannot be prescribed then a 10 day course of Moxifloxacin is recommended.
