UROGENITAL 3

Purpose of the Urogenital 3

• Detection of DNA presence in the tested material: Chlamydia, Mycoplasma hominis, and Mycoplasma genitalium.
• Diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases, enabling the identification of potential co-infections and the selection of appropriate therapy.

The test should be performed in individuals experiencing:

• Women – discharge, abnormal bleeding between periods, post-intercourse bleeding, burning sensation during urination, lower abdominal pain (also during intercourse).
• Men – penile discharge, frequent urination, pain during intercourse or urination.

When should the test be performed?

Due to the high number of asymptomatic infections and associated health consequences, routine screening for Chlamydia trachomatis (Chlamydia testing) and the implementation of effective treatment are crucial.

Chlamydia trachomatis is an intracellular Gram-negative bacterium that causes infections transmitted through sexual contact.

Bacterial infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis are primarily associated with inflammation of the urogenital tract.

In women, this may lead to: urethritis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

In men, the infection can result in epididymitis and orchitis.

In the early stage of the disease, a vesicle or papule appears, which later forms a superficial erosion or herpetic ulcer. The lesion may be located on the foreskin, glans, coronal sulcus, or, in women, on the posterior vaginal wall and labia. Currently, the most common clinical form of infection is proctitis or proctocolitis, mimicking inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease. If the site of infection is the external genitalia, it may cause inflammation of the inguinal and/or femoral lymph nodes.

Untreated chlamydia can lead to complications:

– In women: adhesion formation between fallopian tubes and ovaries, mechanical infertility, pregnancy complications (miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies).

– In men: partial or complete obstruction of the epididymal and vas deferens ducts, leading to mechanical infertility. In newborns, perinatal transmission can result in conjunctivitis and eye infections.

In most cases, infection with Chlamydia trachomatis is asymptomatic.
