Tests – Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma

Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma are among the standard tests in infertility work-up. Unfortunately, many women experience asymptomatic infections, but they must be treated before any fertility treatments and possible pregnancy. Although the infection is usually asymptomatic, the consequences can be serious (from infertility to pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, premature birth, and congenital infections in children). A simple lab test can easily detect them from a sample taken from the vagina, urethra, and rectum. They are treated with a course of antibiotics. At the same time, all intimate partners must be treated as they are sexually transmitted diseases.
