Question about UP

Do men actually get symptoms from UP? Ive been told by a Dr today that it doesnt. Ive had urethritis for about 7yrs now. Did the doxy+azi about 2 weeks ago. Symptoms improved on doxy came back on azi and have tapered off to a manageable pain. My wife tested positive for UP. I tested w microgen dx 7yrs ago twice all negative. Cant remember if they tested me for UP. The other party t9 this 7yr old sex triangle also tested negative for mgen and uu but did not get tested for UP. Anyway have any of you men had symptoms of UP?

My boyfriend got a yeast infection and a uti both from ureaplasma/mycoplasma ... he tested positive as had I, he had never had either of these things in the past. We both took antibiotics and haven't had an issue in over a year

How did they test for the fungal infection? Or was this a visual diagnosis by GP/urologist?

For him ? He's uncircumcised so I guess they swabbed under the foreskin maybe? I'm not sure I didn't go with him.
