Ureaplasma

Ureaplasma is a tiny bacteria that can live in the human body, especially in the urinary and genital tracts. Often, it doesn't cause symptoms and may be present without issues. However, in some cases, it can lead to infections, causing symptoms like discomfort, irritation, or issues during pregnancy. It spreads through sexual contact or from mother to baby during birth. Diagnosis typically involves lab tests, and treatment usually includes specific antibiotics. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you suspect an infection or have concerns about sexually transmitted bacteria.
