Mycoplasma Genitalium is an increasingly common STI linked to pelvic inflammatory disease, male urethritis, and female cervicitis. Often asymptomatic, it can lead to serious issues like infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Since many people show no symptoms, early and accurate detection is key—especially after unprotected sex or if you notice signs like vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or urinary discomfort.
Common Symptoms and When to Get Tested
Symptoms may differ between individuals and can include:
- Vaginal discharge or irritation
- Urethral pain or burning during urination
- Pelvic discomfort
- Signs of symptomatic and asymptomatic urethritis
Most carriers show no symptoms, making regular sexual health screening essential—especially in cities like New York City with high STI rates.
