Do you need to treat it?
The antibiotics that are generally recommended to treat urethritis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease are usually not very effective against M. genitalium, Manhart said. So doctors might suspect that a patient has M. genitalium if he or she doesn’t get better after taking the drugs typically used to treat these other STDs. Doctors could then provide other antibiotics that are more effective against M. genitalium, Manhart said.
Treatment for M. genitalium is often a five-day course of antibiotics, Brahmbhatt said.
