Mycoplasma genitalium, also commonly known as MG or Mgen, is a sexually transmitted bacteria. You can get it from someone who has it and it can be transmitted via any forms of sexual contact. It is possible to have Mgen and not know that you actually have it. It can happen to both men and women although the symptoms are different.
Here are some symptoms that the females may have:
- Pain during sex,
- Bleeding between menstrual cycles,
- Bleeding after sex,
- Extended pain from your belly button to pelvic area.
Meanwhile, here are some symptoms that the males may encounter:
- Pain when peeing - burning and stinging sensation,
- Watery discharge from your private area.
You will be required to give a sample of your pee and a test swab from the urethra or cervix. You can check with your GP/Urologist or DSC clinic as Mycoplasma genitalium can be tested for at most laboratories.
