Mycoplasma Test in Busan, Korea

Mycoplasma infections are increasingly recognized as an important cause of urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and persistent genital symptoms. Because many women experience mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, laboratory testing is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists provide confidential Mycoplasma testing using advanced molecular laboratory diagnostics. We offer personalized treatment and follow-up care to protect your reproductive and sexual health.

What Is Mycoplasma?

Mycoplasma refers to a group of very small bacteria that can infect the urinary and reproductive tracts.

The most clinically significant species include:

• Mycoplasma genitalium
• Mycoplasma hominis (when clinically indicated)

Among these, Mycoplasma genitalium is a recognized sexually transmitted infection (STI) and is associated with cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and persistent urinary or genital symptoms.

Who Should Get a Mycoplasma Test?

Mycoplasma testing may be recommended if you:

• Have persistent vaginal discharge
• Have cervicitis
• Experience pelvic pain
• Have pain during urination
• Have recurrent urinary or genital symptoms
• Have persistent symptoms despite previous treatment
• Have a partner diagnosed with Mycoplasma
• Are undergoing evaluation for sexually transmitted infections

Your OBGYN will determine whether Mycoplasma testing is appropriate based on your symptoms and medical history.

Symptoms of Mycoplasma Infection

Many women have no noticeable symptoms.

When symptoms occur, they may include:

• Abnormal vaginal discharge
• Pain during urination
• Pelvic pain
• Lower abdominal discomfort
• Bleeding after sexual intercourse
• Pain during intercourse
• Cervical inflammation (cervicitis)
• Recurrent urinary symptoms

Because these symptoms overlap with other infections, laboratory testing is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

How Is a Mycoplasma Test Performed?

Testing is typically performed using:

• Vaginal swab
• Cervical swab
• Urine sample
• PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing
• Additional STI testing when appropriate

PCR testing is highly sensitive and allows accurate detection of Mycoplasma genitalium.

Treatment for Mycoplasma Infection

If Mycoplasma infection is confirmed, treatment may include:

• Prescription antibiotics
• Follow-up testing when appropriate
• Partner evaluation and treatment recommendations
• Additional STI screening
• Personalized follow-up care

Because antibiotic resistance can occur with Mycoplasma genitalium, treatment is selected according to current clinical guidelines and your individual situation.

Testing is generally recommended for women with persistent genital symptoms, cervicitis, recurrent infections, or known exposure. Your doctor will determine whether testing is appropriate for your situation.

How is Mycoplasma diagnosed?

Mycoplasma is usually diagnosed using PCR testing on a vaginal swab, cervical swab, or urine sample. PCR provides highly accurate detection of the bacteria.
