What Causes Ureaplasma Infection?
I have been married for 36 yrs and was told I have ureaplasma and need antibiotics along with my husband does this mean someone has been unfaithful? I have been on mutli abx and have a mass in my sigmoid and possible ovarian cancer and have an upcoming surgery for a full hyst and mass taken out can I still get ureaplasma ?

Hello Madam,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I understand your concern.
Ureaplasma can be transmitted in various ways, including directly by sexual transmission through direct contact between couples, vertically from mother to offspring, or through hospital-acquired infections from transplanted tissues. I believe that in your case, the transmission way is by sexual contact with your partner. Ureaplasma is considered as an STD together with chlamydia and gonorrhea.
I am sorry for your ovarian cancer. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Tace Care,
Dr. Ina Zaimi
