Genital Mycoplasma Profile, NAA, Urine

This test detects the genetic material of specific bacteria known as Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma in a urine sample. It helps identify the cause of symptoms like painful urination, discharge, or pelvic discomfort that may be linked to these organisms. This screening helps distinguish these specific infections from other common sexually transmitted infections or urinary tract issues. However, a positive result does not always indicate an active infection requiring treatment, as these bacteria can sometimes exist in the body without causing illness.
