The Mycoplasma Test checks for tiny germs called mycoplasma that can cause lung or genital infections. You may also hear it called a Mycoplasma PCR or a Mycoplasma NAAT, which are lab methods that look for the germ’s genetic material. If your doctor ordered this, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
You might also see this listed as a Mycoplasma genitalium test or a Mycoplasma pneumoniae test. The test looks for the germ in a sample, such as a swab from the throat or genital area, a urine sample, or sometimes blood. It helps your doctor find out if mycoplasma is the cause of symptoms like cough, burning with urination, or pelvic pain.
Common reasons: ongoing cough or chest discomfort that is not improving, exposure to someone with walking pneumonia, burning or discharge with urination, pelvic or testicular pain, pain during sex, or a partner who tested positive. Your doctor may order this test along with other STI tests or a respiratory panel.
Check in, review your order, and answer a few questions. A staff member will collect your sample. This may be a urine cup, a gentle swab from the throat or nose, or a genital swab. If blood is ordered, a small draw from your arm is done. The visit usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You can return to normal activities right after.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Swab collection can feel a bit tickly or briefly uncomfortable, but it passes quickly.
No routine fasting: eat and drink as usual unless your doctor says otherwise. Avoid urinating right before a urine test: try not to pee for at least 1 to 2 hours before you arrive. Avoid vaginal creams, douching, or sex: skip these for 24 hours before a genital swab if possible. Share medicines: tell the team about any antibiotics you take or recently took. Bring ID and your lab order: plus insurance if you plan to use it. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
