What is Ureaplasma? The Silent Infection That Can Harm Fertility! Causes & Prevention Tips

Ureaplasma is a type of bacteria that many people may not be familiar with. Medical data shows that 7 out of 10 people with Ureaplasma may be unaware they are infected, as it often causes no noticeable symptoms initially, or may remain completely asymptomatic in some cases. However, if left untreated or if chronic infection develops, Ureaplasma can lead to urinary and reproductive tract issues, and may even contribute to infertility in both women and men.

Ureaplasma can be transmitted through sexual contact, and in some cases, can also be passed from mother to child during childbirth. Understanding how to detect, treat, and prevent Ureaplasma infections is therefore crucial for reducing risks and maintaining long-term health.

In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide to Ureaplasma, covering: How is it transmitted? What are the symptoms? Does it really affect fertility? Should you get tested? How is it treated? How can you take care of yourself to prevent reinfection

What is Ureaplasma?

Ureaplasma is a type of bacteria commonly found in the human urinary and reproductive tracts. It belongs to the Mycoplasma group and is unique in that it lacks a cell wall. This characteristic distinguishes it from typical bacteria and makes it resistant to certain antibiotics.

In many cases, Ureaplasma can exist in the body without causing any health problems, especially in individuals with a strong immune system. However, when the bacterial load becomes excessive or if an actual infection occurs, it may lead to health issues involving the urinary tract, reproductive system, and even impact fertility in some cases.

Common Types of Ureaplasma

Medically, there are two main types of Ureaplasma associated with humans:

• Ureaplasma urealyticum
• Ureaplasma parvum

Both types can be present in healthy individuals, including partners in a relationship, often without symptoms. However, when infection occurs, these bacteria can cause diseases or complications within the reproductive system.

How is Ureaplasma different from other bacteria?

Since Ureaplasma lacks a cell wall, it differs from most other bacteria in several ways:

• It is very small in size.
• It cannot be visualized using standard light microscopy.
• It is resistant to certain antibiotics that target the bacterial cell wall, such as penicillin.

These characteristics require specialized methods for both detection and treatment.

How is Ureaplasma transmitted?

Ureaplasma can be transmitted from one person to another through several primary routes:

1. Sexual contact

Unprotected sexual activity is the most common mode of Ureaplasma transmission. This includes:

• Male-to-female sexual contact
• Male-to-male sexual contact
• Female-to-female sexual contact

The bacteria can spread through:

• Sexual fluids (genital secretions)
• Direct contact with infected mucous membranes

2. Mother-to-child transmission

Pregnant women with Ureaplasma can transmit the bacteria to their baby during vaginal delivery. Infants exposed to the bacteria may be at risk for respiratory infections or other complications, particularly premature infants.

3. Transmission via contaminated medical equipment (rare)

In rare cases, Ureaplasma infection may result from contaminated medical instruments or procedures performed under non-sterile conditions.

Ureaplasma as a “silent” infection

One of the concerns with Ureaplasma is that it often remains asymptomatic:

• Infected individuals may not know they are carriers.
• Their sexual partners may unknowingly acquire the infection.
• Engaging in unprotected sexual activity increases the risk of reinfection and further spread of this bacterium.

Symptoms of Ureaplasma infection

Ureaplasma infections are often referred to as “silent infections”, as a large proportion of infected individuals may show no symptoms, especially in the early stages or when bacterial levels are low. Studies indicate that approximately 70% of individuals with Ureaplasma are asymptomatic carriers.

However, when an actual infection occurs or bacterial overgrowth leads to inflammation of the urinary or reproductive tract, the following symptoms may appear:

Symptoms in women

• Abnormal vaginal discharge, which may appear yellow, green, or have an unusual odor
• Itching or burning sensation in the vagina
• Painful or frequent urination
• Lower abdominal pain, especially during intercourse or urination
• Irregular vaginal bleeding between periods or after intercourse

Symptoms in men

• Painful or burning sensation during urination
• Discharge from the tip of the penis
• Pain or discomfort in the testicles or a dull ache in the scrotum
• Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra)

Symptoms in pregnant women (if infected)

• Abnormal vaginal discharge
• Possible lower abdominal pain
• In some cases, the infection may increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth, depending on the severity of the infection.

Notes

• Individuals with Ureaplasma may have no symptoms (asymptomatic) yet remain capable of transmitting the bacteria to others.
• If any of the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical evaluation by a healthcare professional.

How dangerous is Ureaplasma?

Although Ureaplasma is a common bacterium found in the human reproductive system and many carriers are asymptomatic, in certain cases — especially if an active infection develops or bacterial overgrowth occurs — Ureaplasma can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

1. Effects on the urinary tract

• Cystitis (bladder inflammation)
• Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) → commonly seen in men
• Chronic painful or burning urination

2. Effects on the female reproductive system

• Cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix)
• Endometritis (inflammation of the uterine lining)
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) → a serious condition that can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes, potentially leading to infertility

3. Effects on the male reproductive system

• Orchitis (inflammation of the testicles)
• Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland)
• Potential impact on sperm quality, including motility and morphology

4. Effects on pregnant women and infants

• Increased risk of miscarriage
• Increased risk of preterm birth
• Newborns may develop respiratory infections or be born with low birth weight

5. Chronic infection risks

• Without proper treatment, Ureaplasma can cause chronic infections that are more difficult to resolve and can be transmitted to others.
• Repeated infections may increase the risk of infertility.

Summary

While Ureaplasma does not cause severe disease in all individuals, certain populations are at higher risk of complications, including:

• Immunocompromised individuals
• Pregnant women
• Individuals engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors
• Those with a history of recurrent infections

→ Without proper medical care, Ureaplasma can significantly impact quality of life and reproductive health.

How does Ureaplasma affect fertility?

Ureaplasma, though commonly present in the human reproductive tract, can significantly impact fertility if a chronic infection or asymptomatic inflammation occurs. This applies to both women and men.

Mechanisms by which Ureaplasma affects fertility

1 Chronic inflammation When Ureaplasma infects the reproductive system, it triggers an inflammatory response:

• In women: May lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) → resulting in scarring of the fallopian tubes
• In men: May cause prostatitis / orchitis → affecting sperm quality

2 Damage to fallopian tube lining Chronic inflammation may damage or scar the lining of the fallopian tubes → hindering egg transport → reducing fertilization chances

3 Interference with embryo implantation If Ureaplasma is present in the uterus, it may disrupt embryo implantation → increasing the risk of implantation failure or early miscarriage

4 Reduction in sperm quality In men, Ureaplasma infection may impair:

• Sperm motility → slower movement
• Sperm morphology → abnormal shape
• Sperm count → reduced quantity → All of which decrease the likelihood of successful fertilization

5 Increased risk of reinfection → chronic reproductive issues Recurrent Ureaplasma infections can lead to chronic reproductive tract inflammation → progressively lowering the chances of natural conception

Key points

• Ureaplasma is one of the infections recommended for screening during fertility evaluations (Fertility Workup).
• Screening is particularly important in cases of:
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Recurrent miscarriage
  • History of PID or chronic reproductive tract inflammation

How does Ureaplasma affect pregnancy?

Ureaplasma is a bacterium that can be present in the vaginal canal and cervix of some pregnant women. In many cases, it remains asymptomatic and does not cause problems.
However, when bacterial levels are high or when inflammation occurs, Ureaplasma may increase the risk of pregnancy complications and negatively affect fetal outcomes.

1 Increased risk of miscarriage

• Medical reports suggest that Ureaplasma infection in the uterine cavity or cervix can trigger localized inflammation, affecting embryo implantation and placental development.
• This may lead to an increased risk of early miscarriage or second-trimester pregnancy loss.

2 Increased risk of preterm birth

• Infection of the uterine cavity or amniotic membranes can result in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) or trigger preterm uterine contractions.
• Research indicates that Ureaplasma is significantly associated with an increased risk of preterm birth

3 Effects on the newborn

Premature infants exposed to Ureaplasma during delivery are at risk for:

• Neonatal pneumonia
• Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)
• Low birth weight
• Neonatal sepsis

4 Mother-to-child transmission

• Ureaplasma can be transmitted to the baby during vaginal delivery.
• Premature infants are particularly vulnerable, as their immune systems are not fully developed, making them more susceptible to complications.

Notes

• Not all pregnant women with Ureaplasma will experience complications.
• Risk assessment depends on bacterial load and coexisting risk factors (such as a history of preterm birth or cervical inflammation).
• If a healthcare provider diagnoses Ureaplasma and deems the risk high, close monitoring during pregnancy is recommended.

Can men get Ureaplasma? What are the symptoms in men?

Men can contract Ureaplasma infections.

• Transmission typically occurs through unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner.
• In some cases, men may already carry the bacteria asymptomatically.

Ureaplasma in men → How common is it?

• Studies indicate that among men whose female partners carry Ureaplasma, the transmission rate can be as high as 50-60%.
• About 40-70% of infected men are asymptomatic carriers.
• However, when symptoms do occur, they generally involve the urinary and reproductive systems.

Symptoms of Ureaplasma infection in men

When symptomatic, common signs include:

• Burning or painful urination
• Unusual discharge from the tip of the penis (often clear or whitish)
• Pain or discomfort in the testicles or scrotum
• Urethritis → the most common symptomatic presentation in infected men
• Pelvic pain or discomfort, especially if the infection spreads
• In some cases, Prostatitis → may cause difficulty urinating or increased urinary frequency

Is Ureaplasma dangerous for men?

• Left untreated, the infection may cause chronic inflammation in the urinary and reproductive tracts.
• It can impair sperm quality, affecting both motility and morphology → contributing to male infertility.
• Recurrent infections can increase the risk of developing chronic prostatitis or urethritis, which may be more difficult to treat over time.

Notes

• Even asymptomatic men can transmit Ureaplasma to their partners.
• Therefore, if a partner is known to be infected or if any symptoms occur, it is advisable to seek medical evaluation and joint treatment with one’s partner.

How is Ureaplasma diagnosed?

Although Ureaplasma is commonly found in the general population, proper diagnosis is essential when infection is suspected or when abnormal symptoms occur. Ureaplasma requires specialized diagnostic methods, as it lacks a cell wall and cannot be detected using standard tests like Gram staining.

Sample types used for testing

• First void urine sample
• Cervical or urethral swab
• Vaginal swab
• In high-risk pregnant women: amniotic membrane or amniotic fluid samples (only when medically indicated)

Diagnostic methods

1 Culture

• Traditional method → culture in specialized media for Ureaplasma
• Advantages: confirms presence of live bacteria
• Disadvantages: slow (several days), lower sensitivity than PCR

2 PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing

• Current gold standard method
• Detects Ureaplasma DNA in clinical samples
• Advantages
  • Rapid results (1-2 days)
  • High accuracy
  • Can detect both Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum
• Suitable for
  • Women
  • Men
  • Pregnant women with indications for testing

3 Multiplex PCR

• Multiplex PCR is increasingly used to simultaneously test for multiple pathogens, such as:
  • Ureaplasma
  • Mycoplasma genitalium
  • Chlamydia trachomatis
  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae
• Recommended for:
  • Individuals with abnormal urogenital symptoms
  • Couples planning pregnancy
  • STD screening patients

Notes

• Routine pelvic exams or Pap smears do not detect Ureaplasma → specific testing is required.
• The choice of test depends on symptoms, risk factors, and physician assessment.

How to prepare for Ureaplasma testing?

If you are planning to undergo Ureaplasma testing — whether due to:

• abnormal symptoms
• as part of fertility planning
• routine health screening
• STD screening

Proper preparation is key to ensuring accurate test results and minimizing the risk of false negatives.

How to prepare before testing

1 Avoid sexual activity before testing

• Refrain from sexual intercourse for at least 24-48 hours prior to testing.
• This helps prevent flushing out or altering bacterial levels, which could affect the accuracy of the test.

2 Do not douche (for women)

• Avoid vaginal douching or using vaginal cleansing products for at least 24 hours before the test.
• Douching can reduce detectable bacterial levels and compromise test accuracy.

3 Avoid urination before testing (for urine sample)

• If instructed to provide a First Void Urine sample, avoid urinating for at least 1-2 hours prior to collection.
• This ensures that the urine contains a sufficient concentration of bacteria for accurate testing.

4 Inform your doctor about recent antibiotic use

• If you have taken antibiotics within the past 1-2 weeks, inform your doctor.
• Antibiotics may temporarily suppress bacterial levels, affecting test results.
• Your doctor may recommend postponing the test for optimal accuracy.

5 Notify your doctor if you are pregnant

• Pregnant women should always inform their doctor before testing.
• This allows the physician to select the safest and most appropriate sample collection method.

Notes

• Ureaplasma testing is not included in standard gynecological exams or routine Pap smears → Specific testing must be requested in advance.
• Proper preparation helps ensure reliable test results → leading to accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

How is Ureaplasma treated?

Once a diagnosis of Ureaplasma infection is confirmed, appropriate treatment helps reduce complications and prevent transmission to others. Although Ureaplasma may be present without causing symptoms, treatment is generally recommended in cases of:

• Symptomatic infections
• Infertility
• Pregnant women at risk
• High bacterial load detected on testing

Treatment principles

1 Antibiotics

• Since Ureaplasma lacks a cell wall, antibiotics targeting protein synthesis are used.
• Common antibiotics include:
  • Doxycycline → typically 7-14 days
  • Azithromycin → either single dose or extended course, depending on clinical judgment
  • In some cases → Levofloxacin or alternative agents may be used if resistance is present

2 Treating sexual partners concurrently

• Even if partners are asymptomatic, concurrent treatment of both partners is recommended.
• This helps prevent reinfection (ping-pong effect), a common cause of chronic infection.

3 Follow-up after treatment

• Routine follow-up testing is not always necessary if symptoms resolve and no high-risk factors are present.
• Follow-up PCR testing may be advised in cases of:
  • Pregnancy
  • Infertility
  • Recurrent infections
  • Couples planning pregnancy

Notes

• Do not self-medicate with antibiotics → this can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
• Treatment should always follow the advice of a qualified healthcare provider.
• Complete the full course of antibiotics → do not stop midway, as this reduces the risk of treatment failure and resistance.

How long does it take to treat Ureaplasma?

The duration of treatment for Ureaplasma infection depends on several factors, including:

• Type of antibiotic used
• Severity of infection
• Site of infection
• Individual response to treatment

In general, treatment typically lasts 7 to 14 days. → However, longer courses may be needed for chronic or recurrent infections, or if antibiotic resistance is present.

Current treatment durations

1️ Doxycycline

• Recommended duration → 7-14 days
• For uncomplicated cases, this is usually effective.

2️ Azithromycin

• May be used as a single dose, 5-day regimen, or longer → depending on clinical judgment.
• For chronic infections → Azithromycin may be given for 7-14 days.

3️ Chronic or recurrent infections

• In cases of recurrent or chronic infection → combination therapy and extended treatment duration beyond 14 days may be required.
• Some patients may need follow-up PCR testing to confirm eradication.

Factors affecting treatment duration

• Overall health status → strong immunity generally leads to better response.
• Site of infection → deeper infections (e.g., prostate, pelvic region) may require longer treatment.
• History of prior antibiotic use → may influence resistance and prolong treatment.
• Adherence to medical advice → incomplete courses or premature discontinuation may result in treatment failure and resistance.

Notes

• Do not stop antibiotics prematurely, even if symptoms improve.
• Consistent and complete treatment is essential for successful eradication.
• After treatment, some patients may require monitoring and repeat testing if indicated.

Can Ureaplasma recur? How to prevent reinfection?

Although Ureaplasma treatment is generally effective, reinfection is possible in certain cases, especially in individuals with high-risk factors, such as

• Multiple sexual partners
• Partner(s) not treated simultaneously
• High-risk sexual behaviors
• Weakened immune system
• Failure to follow post-treatment prevention advice

Can Ureaplasma recur?

Yes, reinfection is possible → this does not necessarily mean treatment failure.
Reinfection typically occurs through:

• An untreated partner
• A new partner carrying Ureaplasma
• Ongoing high-risk sexual behaviors

Why is reinfection common?

• Ureaplasma is a “silent” bacteria → even after successful treatment, reinfection is easy if behavior is unchanged.
• If the partner is not treated simultaneously → ping-pong infection may occur, leading to chronic reinfection.
• Weakened immune defenses can increase susceptibility to recolonization.

How to prevent reinfection

1️ Treat both partners concurrently

• Both you and your partner should be treated together → this is the most effective method to prevent ping-pong infection.
• Treating only one partner results in a high risk of reinfection.

2️ Use condoms consistently

• Reduces the risk of new infections.
• Especially important during the first 3-6 months after treatment, when reinfection risk is highest.

3️ Avoid high-risk sexual behaviors

• Limit the number of sexual partners.
• Avoid high-risk sexual activities.

4️ Get regular health checkups

• For individuals with ongoing risk or high-risk partners, periodic health screenings are advisable.
• Early detection allows for prompt treatment → reducing complications.

5️ Follow your doctor’s advice carefully

• Complete the entire course of antibiotics.
• If your doctor recommends follow-up testing, comply as advised.
• Do not stop antibiotics prematurely or adjust dosage without medical guidance.

Can you treat Ureaplasma by yourself?

“No — you should not self-treat.” Treatment for Ureaplasma infection should always be guided by a qualified healthcare provider, for several important reasons:

1️ Appropriate antibiotics must be selected

• Ureaplasma lacks a cell wall → only specific classes of antibiotics are effective.
• Self-medicating or using the wrong antibiotic can result in antibiotic resistance, making future treatment more difficult.

2️ Treatment may not always be necessary

• In some cases (e.g., detection without symptoms and no risk factors), treatment may not be immediately necessary.
• Deciding whether to treat is the responsibility of a physician.
• Unnecessary treatment may disrupt the body’s normal microbiota and increase reinfection risk.

3️ Both partners should be treated together

• Treating yourself without treating your partner → high risk of ping-pong infection (reinfection between partners).
• A doctor will provide an appropriate treatment plan for both partners.

4️ Follow-up after treatment may be required

• Certain cases (pregnancy, infertility, chronic infection) require post-treatment follow-up.
• Self-treatment prevents proper monitoring → increasing the risk of reinfection or complications.

Key points

• Do not purchase antibiotics over-the-counter to self-treat Ureaplasma.
• Treatment should be carried out under medical supervision only.
• If you suspect an infection or have concerns → consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment planning.

How to take care of yourself after treating Ureaplasma?

After completing treatment for Ureaplasma, proper self-care is essential to:

• Reduce the risk of reinfection
• Promote urogenital health
• Allow the body to fully recover

Self-care tips after treatment

1️ Complete the full course of antibiotics

• Even if symptoms improve → do not stop antibiotics prematurely.
• Completing the full course ensures effective bacterial eradication.
• Stopping early increases the risk of reinfection and antibiotic resistance.

2️ Abstain from sexual activity during recovery

• Avoid sexual activity for at least 7-14 days after completing treatment, or until your doctor advises it is safe.
• Resuming sexual activity too soon may result in transmitting residual bacteria or acquiring new infection.

3️ Use condoms consistently

• When resuming sexual activity → always use condoms, especially during the first 3-6 months post-treatment.
  This reduces the risk of reinfection.

4️ Attend follow-up appointments

• If your doctor schedules follow-up testing (such as repeat PCR), be sure to attend.
• Particularly important for:
  • Pregnant women
  • Individuals facing infertility
  • Those with a history of recurrent infections

5️ Support your overall health

• Get sufficient rest.
• Eat a balanced, nutritious diet to strengthen immunity.
• Stay well-hydrated → helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract.
• Avoid high-risk sexual behaviors that may increase the risk of new infections.

Key points

• After treatment → give your body time to recover.
• Minor residual symptoms (such as slight irritation) may gradually resolve within 1-2 weeks.
• If any abnormal symptoms persist after treatment, consult your doctor immediately, such as:
  • Persistent painful urination
  • Abnormal vaginal discharge (in women)
  • Abnormal penile discharge (in men)
  • Chronic pelvic pain

How to prevent Ureaplasma infection?

Although Ureaplasma can be present in many people without symptoms, when it leads to infection, it may affect urinary, reproductive health, and fertility. The best approach is to focus on prevention to minimize the risk of infection.

Practical prevention tips

1️ Use condoms consistently during sexual activity

• Condoms significantly reduce the risk of Ureaplasma and other STIs.
• They should be used correctly and throughout the entire duration of sexual activity, not just during penetration.

2️ Limit the number of sexual partners

• Having multiple sexual partners increases the chance of acquiring Ureaplasma from asymptomatic carriers.
• Limiting the number of partners and engaging in safe relationships greatly reduces the risk.

3️ Get regular sexual health checkups and STI screening

• Especially important for those with high-risk behaviors or partners with risk factors.
• Regular screening can detect infections before symptoms appear, preventing transmission to others.

4️ Maintain good personal hygiene

• Keep the genital area clean → reduces bacterial buildup.
• Avoid excessive vaginal douching, which can disrupt the natural microbiome and increase susceptibility to infections.
• After sexual activity → urinating can help flush bacteria from the urinary tract.

5️ Communicate openly and maintain trust in relationships

• Open conversations about sexual health with your partner are important.
• Couples who undergo regular health checks and maintain honest communication help reduce the risk of transmitting infections between partners.

Key points

• No prevention method is 100% effective → combining multiple strategies offers the best protection.
• If you have concerns or believe you may be at risk → consult a healthcare provider for appropriate testing and guidance.

Does condom use really prevent Ureaplasma?

Condom use significantly reduces the risk of Ureaplasma infection, but does not provide 100% protection.

Why condoms help reduce the risk

• Ureaplasma is transmitted through sexual fluids, such as semen, vaginal secretions, and pre-ejaculate.
• Condom use prevents direct contact with these fluids, thereby greatly reducing transmission risk.

Why condoms do not offer 100% protection

• Even with condom use, skin-to-skin contact around the genital area may expose partners to Ureaplasma.
• The bacteria can sometimes be present in cervical, urethral, or external genital tissues, areas not fully covered by a condom.

Additional tips

• Even when using condoms → regular sexual health screening is advised, especially for those with high-risk behaviors.
• Using condoms consistently and correctly every time is the best way to reduce the risk of Ureaplasma and other STIs.

How is Ureaplasma different from other bacteria?

Ureaplasma is a type of bacterium with unique characteristics, differing from both typical bacteria and other sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens in several ways. Understanding these differences helps guide appropriate testing and treatment strategies.

1️ No cell wall

• The most distinctive feature of Ureaplasma → it lacks a cell wall (similar to Mycoplasma).
• Typical bacteria such as E. coli or Staphylococcus have cell walls and respond to penicillin-type antibiotics.
• Ureaplasma, without a cell wall, requires protein synthesis-targeting antibiotics like Doxycycline or Azithromycin.
• This is why self-medicating with general antibiotics is not advisable for Ureaplasma.

2️ Very small size

• Ureaplasma is a very small bacterium → smaller than typical bacteria.
• It cannot be visualized with a standard light microscope → specialized testing, such as PCR, is required.

3️ Colonization potential

• Ureaplasma can colonize the urinary and reproductive tracts without causing disease → known as colonization.
• In contrast, pathogens like Chlamydia or Gonorrhea usually cause active infections once acquired.
• Therefore → when Ureaplasma is detected, physicians must consider symptoms and risk factors to decide whether treatment is needed.

4️ Transmission

• Ureaplasma is primarily transmitted via:
  • Sexual contact
  • Mother-to-child transmission during childbirth is also possible.
• This differs from pathogens like HPV or Herpes, which can also spread via skin-to-skin contact without direct sexual activity.

5️ Association with infertility

• Although not always an overt STI pathogen, Ureaplasma is linked to infertility and increased risk of preterm birth in pregnant women.
• This sets it apart from many other STIs that mainly cause acute disease symptoms.

Conclusion

Although Ureaplasma is commonly found in the general population and many carriers remain asymptomatic, if left untreated or if chronic infection develops, it can lead to serious health issues, including: Inflammation of the urinary and reproductive systems, Infertility, Increased risk of miscarriage or preterm birth in pregnant women

The good news is that Ureaplasma can be detected and treated with proper medical care. Regular health screenings, especially for those at higher risk, are key to preventing long-term complications.

Ureaplasma should not be ignored → Although it is often a “silent” infection, with proper awareness, regular health checkups, and timely treatment, you can effectively prevent and minimize the risks associated with this infection.
