Ureaplasma: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

What Are the Symptoms of Ureaplasma Infection?

What Are The Risks Of Untreated Ureaplasma?

If ureaplasma is left untreated, it may occasionally lead to health complications, particularly in individuals with other risk factors. Possible issues include:

• Vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis, cervicitis, or endometritis in women
• Chronic urethritis or prostatitis in men
• Pregnancy-related complications such as premature birth, chorioamnionitis, or infections in newborns
• Reduced fertility, including poor sperm motility or difficulty conceiving

Although ureaplasma does not always lead to health problems, it is advisable to seek medical attention if symptoms develop or complications are suspected.

How Is Ureaplasma Tested?

When Is Treatment for Ureaplasma Recommended?

Treatment with antibiotics is usually advised when ureaplasma is associated with symptoms, recurrent infection, fertility concerns, pregnancy complications, or other medical issues.

The antibiotics commonly prescribed include doxycycline, azithromycin, or erythromycin, depending on the individual case. In certain situations, follow-up testing may be recommended after treatment to ensure that the infection has been fully cleared.

Preventing Ureaplasma

While ureaplasma is commonly present in healthy individuals, certain steps can reduce the risk of symptomatic infection or transmission:

• Consistently and correct use condoms during sexual activity
• Schedule regular sexual health screenings if you are sexually active, even when no symptoms are present.
• Consult a doctor promptly if you develop any signs of infection, so that treatment can begin early.
• Discuss sexual health matters openly with your partners to support mutual protection and awareness.

For couples planning pregnancy or considering fertility assessments, both partners may be advised to undergo screening, with treatment recommended if ureaplasma is detected.

What Should You Do If You Suspect Ureaplasma?

If you experience persistent, recurrent, or disruptive symptoms such as burning during urination, unusual discharge, pelvic pain, or genital discomfort, you should see a doctor. Medical advice is also recommended if you are concerned about recent exposure, or if symptoms continue or return after treatment.
