Even if you tested positive for ureaplasma and mycoplasma, current guidelines do not recommend treatment unless you have symptoms or a partner with symptoms. Given that the organism can be a part of an individual’s normal genital tract flora, there is no value in testing unless you have symptoms. Symptom of urethritis includes pain with urinating, discharge from the urethra and vaginal discharge in women. We recommend testing for other causes for these symptoms (more common STIs and more common causes of vaginal discharge like yeast and BV) before testing for ureaplasma and mycoplasma.
