In women with mycoplasma infection, the symptoms are usually insidious, and those that are symptomatic will usually manifest as urethral tingling, varying degrees of urinary urgency, frequency, and painful urination. This is especially noticeable when the urine is more concentrated, the urethra is mildly red and swollen, and the thin discharge may turn purulent. Squeezing the urethra with force meets with an overflow of secretions and the discharge is often in the morning with a small amount of mucus discharge or only a crusty membrane sealing the urethra. This mycoplasma infection causes an infection in the female reproductive system that spreads around the cervix, causing the patient to have a vaginal cramping sensation, and then the patient will have frequent and urgent urination. If it is confined to the cervix it will manifest as increased and cloudy leukorrhea. If the infection spreads to the urethra, the urethral opening becomes flushed and if the infection continues upward it can lead to tubitis, endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, which may lead to infertility in the female reproductive system.
