Female Mycoplasma Genitalium (Mgen) Test

Service Description

The Female Mycoplasma Genitalium (Mgen) Test detects the presence of Mycoplasma genitalium, a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can affect the cervix and urinary tract. Many people with Mgen have no symptoms but it can sometimes cause abnormal vaginal discharge, pain during intercourse, abnormal vaginal bleeding and burning or pain during urination. This test may be helpful if you’re experiencing symptoms or if you’re concerned about possible exposure. Without treatment, Mgen may be associated with complications such as inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and in some cases may be linked to fertility and pregnancy problems. Knowing whether Mgen is present can help guide conversations with a healthcare provider about next steps. This test uses a self-collected vaginal swab at a patient service center (PSC) to screen for the presence of Mycoplasma genitalium. This test is designed for females who want clear, accurate results and easy private testing for Mgen. For males, we offer the Male Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) Test.
