Pelvic inflammatory disease is more likely to reoccur when there is a prior history of the infection, recent sexual contact, recent onset of menses, or an IUD (intrauterine device) in place or if the partner has a sexually transmitted infection.
The precise role this organism plays in causing disease remains speculative. [4] Diagnosis remains a challenge because the organism is difficult to culture in vitro. PCR-based techniques are still rare outside research scenarios. [5] The following conditions have been linked to Mycoplasma hominis: [citation needed]
Mycoplasma hominis is an opportunistic human mycoplasma species residing in the lower urogenital tract. [10] It is a common human urogenital Mycoplasma species that lacks a cell wall. Due to the absence of the cell wall, M. hominis is innately resistant to β-lactams and to all antibiotics which target the cell wall. [ 11 ]

Several Mycoplasma species can cause disease, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia (formerly known as "walking pneumonia"), and M. genitalium, which has been associated with pelvic inflammatory diseases. Mycoplasma infections in humans are associated with skin eruptions in 17% of cases. [41]: 293
Mycoplasma genitalium (also known as MG [3], Mgen, or since 2018, Mycoplasmoides genitalium [1]) is a sexually transmitted, [4] small and pathogenic bacterium that lives on the mucous epithelial cells of the urinary and genital tracts in humans. [5]
Tubal factor infertility (TFI) is female infertility caused by diseases, obstructions, damage, scarring, congenital malformations or other factors which impede the descent of a fertilized or unfertilized ovum into the uterus through the fallopian tubes and prevents a normal pregnancy and full term birth.
Women with a specific diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas should see a clinician in three months after treatment for repeat testing because they are at higher risk of getting reinfected, regardless of whether their sex partners were treated. [4] Treatment in pregnant women is the same as those who are not pregnant. [4]
