About this test
Mycoplasma genitalium, often called Mgen, is a fast-growing, often-overlooked sexually transmitted infection that affects hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. each year. Because symptoms are frequently mild or nonexistent, many people unknowingly carry and spread the infection. Regular testing is essential to protect your health and your partners.
Our Mgen test uses a simple, non-invasive urine sample to detect the infection with high accuracy
Why This Test Matters:
Mgen is known for being persistent and, in many cases, antibiotic-resistant. Because symptoms can be subtle, or completely absent, testing is the only reliable way to know if you’re infected. Early detection allows for targeted treatment, prevents complications, and reduces the risk of transmitting the infection to partners.
Possible Symptoms of Mycoplasma Genitalium:
Most people don’t notice symptoms, but when they do appear, it may be weeks or even months after exposure.
In Women, symptoms may include:
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Pain or burning during urination
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- Pain during sex
- Bleeding after sex
- Cervical inflammation (cervicitis)
In Men, symptoms may include:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Urethral discharge
- Irritation or itching inside the penis
- Epididymitis-related testicular discomfort (less common)
Even if symptoms improve temporarily, the infection does not go away without the correct antibiotic treatment.
Who Is at Higher Risk?
Anyone who has unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex can become infected. Pregnant individuals should also get tested, as MGen can be passed to the newborn during delivery, leading to serious health issues or premature birth. Because reinfection is common, all partners should be tested and treated when necessary.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait To Test:
When treated early, Mycoplasma Genitalium is easily cured. But when left untreated, it increases the risk of contracting or transmitting HIV and can lead to other serious health problems:
In Women:
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Increased risk of infertility
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Pregnancy complications (data emerging)
In Men:
- Persistent urethritis
- Epididymitis (rare)
- Increased inflammation that may affect fertility
Mgen is also associated with higher susceptibility to HIV due to genital inflammation.
Yes, It's Curable!
The good news: Mycoplasma Genitalium is curable. If your test result is positive, our doctors can prescribe fast-acting antibiotics for you as most infections are cleared with a simple course of medication. Just avoid sexual activity for at least one week during treatment to prevent spreading the infection.
Who Should Consider This Test?
You may benefit from the Mycoplasma Genitalium Test if:
- You have had multiple or new sexual partners
- You are entering a new relationship and both partners want a comprehensive check
- You have had unprotected sex and want broad testing in one visit
- You want STD screenings without scheduling a doctor’s visit first

What is Mycoplasma genitalium?
Mgen is a bacterial STI that infects the urogenital tract. It is often silent but can cause inflammation and long-term complications if untreated.
How is Mycoplasma genitalium transmitted?
Mgen spreads through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, or genital-to-genital contact. It is not spread through casual contact, toilets, or sharing towels.
Why is Mgen considered “antibiotic-resistant”?
Mgen has shown increasing resistance to first-line antibiotics (particularly azithromycin), which is why accurate diagnosis and proper treatment are essential.
