Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Urine Test – Fast & Accurate Culture Analysis

Description

Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Urine Test – Accurate Detection of Hidden STIs & Fertility Risks

The Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Urine Test from Lab Tests Dubai is a specialized molecular urine testthat detects DNA of Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum—a group of cell-wall-deficient bacteria linked to urogenital infections, infertility, and pregnancy complications.

Unlike common STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea, these bacteria:

• Are not detected by routine STI panels
• Cause persistent urethritis, cervicitis, or pelvic pain
• Are associated with infertility, preterm birth, and IVF failure

This test is essential for:

• Diagnosing non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men
• Evaluating cervicitis, pelvic pain, or recurrent vaginitis in women
• Investigating unexplained infertility or recurrent miscarriages
• Screening pregnant women with risk factors
• Monitoring treatment response in chronic cases

Using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) or culture methods, this urine-based test delivers accurate results within just 3 days, helping urologists, gynecologists, and fertility specialists identify hidden infections that standard tests miss.

Available with home urine collection, Lab Tests Dubai ensures accurate, private, and stress-free testing—so you can get answers without embarrassment.

Why You Need This Test

If you’ve had burning urination, discharge, or fertility issues—and standard STI tests came back negative—this test could reveal a stealthy infection that’s treatable with the right antibiotics.

You need the Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Test if:

• You have painful urination or urethral discomfort (men)
• You experience vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or cervicitis (women)
• You and your partner are facing unexplained infertility
• You’ve had recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• You’re pregnant with a history of preterm labor
• You’ve been treated for chlamydia/gonorrhea but symptoms persist
• You’re undergoing IVF or fertility treatment

This test helps:

• Identify hard-to-detect urogenital pathogens
• Guide targeted antibiotic therapy (e.g., azithromycin, moxifloxacin)
• Improve fertility outcomes
• Prevent transmission to partners or newborns

Early testing = faster relief and better reproductive health.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Consider the Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Test if you experience:

✅ For Men:

• Burning or pain during urination
• Clear or mucoid urethral discharge
• Persistent urethritis after STI treatment
• Epididymitis or prostatitis

✅ For Women:

• Vaginal discharge or irritation
• Pelvic pain or discomfort
• Cervical inflammation (cervicitis)
• Recurrent bacterial vaginosis or UTIs

✅ For Couples:

• Unexplained infertility (normal tubes, sperm, ovulation)
• Recurrent miscarriages or preterm birth
• Failed IVF cycles

These signs may point to atypical bacterial infection—and this test helps start the right treatment.

Natural Production: How Mycoplasma & Ureaplasma Cause Infection

Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma are unique bacteria because they:

• Lack a cell wall → resistant to penicillin and amoxicillin
• Live in the urogenital tract (urethra, cervix, bladder)
• Spread through sexual contact (even with condoms)
• Can be asymptomatic but still cause damage

Common species:

• Mycoplasma genitalium – linked to urethritis, PID, infertility
• Ureaplasma urealyticum/parvum – associated with preterm birth, low birth weight
• Mycoplasma hominis – postpartum fever, wound infections

The Urine Test detects their genetic material (PCR) or live growth (culture)—confirming active infection.

What Happens If Untreated? Risks of Ignoring These Infections

Ignoring Mycoplasma or Ureaplasma can lead to:

⚠️ Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – scarring, infertility
⚠️ Male Infertility – reduced sperm motility, inflammation
⚠️ Preterm Labor or Miscarriage – in pregnant women
⚠️ Neonatal Pneumonia or Sepsis – from mother to baby
⚠️ Antibiotic Resistance – due to improper treatment
⚠️ Chronic Pelvic Pain – long-term discomfort

The good news? These infections are treatable with:

• Macrolides (azithromycin) or fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin)
• Partner treatment to prevent reinfection
• Follow-up testing to confirm cure

Early testing = protection for your fertility and future baby.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate results:

✅ First-void urine sample (first 20 mL of urine stream)
✅ Hold urine for at least 1 hour (do not urinate for 60+ mins before test)
✅ Avoid antibiotics 48–72 hours before (unless medically necessary)
✅ Do not use antiseptics or wash genital area before collection
✅ Inform your doctor of:

• Current symptoms and duration
• Recent STI treatments
• Pregnancy status or fertility plans

A urine sample is collected at home or clinic—no swabs or blood draw.

Test Overview: PCR or Culture Method

* Note: For optimal detection in women, a vaginal swab is preferred, but urine is acceptable. Lab Tests Dubai provides clear instructions for both.
