Getting It
Ureaplasma is typically transmitted through sexual contact. It's very common among sexually active adults. It can enter the body through the vagina or the urethra. Ureaplasma can also be passed from mother to child.
Symptoms
- It hurts when you pee.
- Belly pain.
- Pain, odor, or discharge from the vagina.
- Swelling at the opening of the urethra.
- Discharge from the urethra.
testing
Nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is the preferred technique.
NAAT uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and can be performed on multiple sample types, including urethral, vaginal, and cervical swabs; urine; and endometrial biopsies.
treat early gives many benefits
Ureaplasma and mycoplasma are bacteria that can be commonly found in the reproductive tract of both men and women. If tested positive for ureaplasma and mycoplasma, you and all sexual partners must be treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline or other antibiotics of choice.
managing it
After the treatment is done, if you have symptoms it should be gone. If you want to get urine test or swab test again to confirm, wait 3 weeks after the last day of treatment to do that.
