Mycoplasma / Ureaplasma Tests

Understanding Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma Infections

Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma are bacterial infections that are primarily transmitted through sexual contact, leading to genital infections. While these infections are not officially classified as STIs (sexually transmitted infections), they can still cause uncomfortable symptoms if left untreated. Despite the lack of extensive information on long-term risks, it’s essential to address these infections promptly.
