Mycoplasma Genitalium is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) which is often asymptomatic or with no symptom and is bacterial in nature that bears some similarities in chlamydia and gonorrhea. This occurs oftenly in association with some other infections in both males and females. Doctors still find it very difficult to diagnose this infection. According to some research in United States, mycoplasma genitalium has become the third most common sexually transmitted disease that is diagnosed to young people.
In females, mycoplasma genitalium has been linked in some conditions such as bacterial vaginosis wherein an unusual bacteria occurs in the vagina and it changes the natural pH balance and causes unpleasant discharges and fleshy smell, cervicitis in which lower genital tract became infected and causing inflammation of the cervix, PID or pelvic inflammatory disease and infection at the endometrial lining or endometritis.Women who have given birth prematurely can also cause mycoplasma genitalium.
In men, mycoplasma genitalium is said to be diagnosed if he suffers urethritis or the inflammation of the urethra that is not acquired or caused by gonorrhea and chlamydia. Sometimes, in men, mycoplasma genitalium is asymptomatic but on the other hand, males also experiences signs and symptoms of mycoplasma genitalium. This includes urethral discharges, painful or burning sensation when urinating and arthritis or swelling and pain in the joints. If you experience any of these, be tested now at Mycoplasma Test.
