How are Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma spread?

In this section

 

 


Mycoplasma is usually passed from one person to another during vaginal, oral or anal sex, or by sharing sex toys.  Detection of M.genitalium by PCR in male non-gonococcal urethritis has been well documented.  Interestingly, there is also a high fold increased risk of urethritis that persists after successful eradication of laboratory confirmed chlamydial and gonococcal infection (ie post-chlamydial/gonococcal as opposed to non-chlamydial/gonococcal) is significantly associated with M.genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum.  Testing men who are symptomatic but who have non-gonococcal urethritis, persistent infection and recurrent symptoms after treatment, or for complications such as epididymitis and prostatitis - and for women with genital tract symptoms, genital discharge, pelvic pain and intermenstrual bleeding is reasonable.
