Male Mycoplasma Genitalium (Mgen) Test

Service Description

The Male Mycoplasma Genitalium (Mgen) Test detects the presence of Mycoplasma genitalium, a bacterium and a sexually transmitted infection that can infect the urinary tract. Many people with Mgen have no symptoms, but it can sometimes lead to urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) and related symptoms including burning during urination, penile discharge, or urethral discomfort/irritation. This test may be helpful if you’re experiencing these symptoms or if you’re concerned about possible exposure. Knowing whether Mgen is present can help guide conversations with a healthcare provider about next steps. This test is designed for males who want convenient, private, and reliable testing using a urine-based sample. For females, we offer the Female Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) Test.
