Where to make an ureplasmosis PCR test (not in pack of 12 STD)?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi everyone!

I fixed my ureplasmosis and want to do a control test.

 

But every laboratory offer only big STD-package with 12 infections and a bit high price (3000-5000thb). 

 

Is there is any chance to find laboratory that can make same in Europe - only ureplasmosis? Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya.

Ureplasmosis is considered part of  a normal flora in the genital tract and usually causes no problem; treatment is indicated only if symptomatic and even then after first excluding othet causes.

 

If you are no longerbsymptomatic then there is no need to test as even if test still showed presence of ureplasmosis no treatment would be indicated.

 

Good write up here , and this place can also test for it https://www.pulse-clinic.com/stdinfo/ureaplasma-parvum/

Sheryl, thank you for the answer.

 

Yes, even ureaplasma is a part of normal microflora (heard this opinion before too) - if from you it will be transmitted to your partner, in around 50% cases she (partner) will start to have urethritis from this. 

 

And don't forget about:

A. increased risk of miscarriage

B. slight increase in the risk of infertility in men

from this.

 

So, yes, i heard this opinion before, that if have no problems with ureaplasma - so no need to treat. 

 

But.. in my opinion, during it can be transmitted to my partner and hit her healthy, I need to fix it.

It is not an "opinion" that ureaplasmosis is part of normal flora, it is a scientific fact.

 

70% of women have it in their genital tract so odds are good your partner does too.

 

It does not  usually cause urethritis.

 

Like any normal flora, if there is overgrowth then problems can occur in which case treatment is indicated.

 

If yo uare asymptomatoc there is nothing to be gained by seeking to completely eradicate this organism. You will probably just re-acquire it as most people do≥

U. urealyticum has been noted as one of the infectious causes of sterile pyuria.[9] It increases the morbidity as a cause of neonatal infections.[5] It is associated with premature birth, preterm rupture of membranes, preterm labor, cesarean section, placental inflammation, congenital pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, fetal lung injury and death of infant.[4]Ureaplasma urealyticum is associated with miscarriage.[10] In addition, this pathogen may latently infect the chorionic villi tissues of pregnant women, thereby impacting pregnancy outcome.[11]

Do Mycoplasma and ureaplasma live in normal genital tract?

Yes, Many healthy asymptomatic adults have genitourinary colonization with Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma spp. The percentage of women with vaginal colonization by M. hominisM. genitalium, and Ureaplasma spp increases after puberty in proportion to the number of lifetime sexual partners. It has been seen to vary from 0% in never active women to upto 70% in sexually active women

Does this mean these women are infected and contagious?

This does not mean that these women are “infected”, if these are not creating any symptoms, then these mycoplasmas and ureaplasma are considered normal inhabitants of the genital tract.

Ureaplasma species have been isolated from cervicovaginal specimens in 40-80% of women who are asymptomatic and sexually active.....Only a subgroup of adults who are colonized in the lower urogenital tract develop symptomatic illness from these organisms.
