Could Your Symptoms Be Mycoplasma Genitalium? Recognising the Signs and What To Do Next

Are You Experiencing Unusual Symptoms After Sex?

Many people in the UK feel anxious when they notice unusual symptoms like genital discomfort, discharge, or pain when urinating. Sometimes, those niggling signs are overlooked or dismissed, but Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is an emerging sexually transmitted infection worth knowing about.

What Is Mycoplasma Genitalium?

Mycoplasma genitalium is a bacteria that can infect the genital and urinary tracts. While relatively under the radar compared to other STIs, it has been increasingly recognised as causing issues in both men and women. Read more on the NHS.

What Are the Symptoms?

• In men: Discharge from the penis, pain while urinating, discomfort in the testicles
• In women: Unusual vaginal discharge, pain during sex, pelvic pain, or bleeding after sex
• Up to half of people may not notice any symptoms at all

"Ignoring these symptoms can lead to long-term complications like pelvic inflammatory disease in women and fertility issues in both sexes."

What Should You Do?

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important not to panic. The first step? Get tested. Early detection means effective treatment and peace of mind.

• Practice safe sex while you wait for your results
• Avoid sexual contact if you or a partner notice any symptoms
• Let any partners know if you are diagnosed
