Many women in the UK experience subtle changes—strange vaginal discharge, mild pelvic pain, or spotting between periods—but brush them off as minor or hormonal. However, a little-known infection called Mycoplasma genitalium could be the underlying cause.
This unique bacterium is a recognised sexually transmitted infection (NHS: Mycoplasma genitalium) that often goes undiagnosed because symptoms are mild or non-specific. In women, it can silently travel to the upper reproductive tract and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause complications such as chronic pelvic pain or difficulty conceiving.
Even if you feel well, undiagnosed infections can persist for months or years, quietly affecting your reproductive health.
At Mayfield Clinic, we offer a Mycoplasma genitalium PCR Self-Collection Test Kit, available UK-wide. Using a self-collected vaginal swab, the test is easy to complete at home, and our high-sensitivity PCR technology ensures you get reliable results within 2 days.
