Ureaplasma is bacterium which colonises the urogenital tract. Although it can be transmitted through sexual contact, it is not strictly classified as an STI because infection can also occur without sexual contact. It is an an opportunistic pathogen that is a significant cause of adverse pregnancy outcome, neonatal disease, and suppurative arthritis. During delivery it can also spread to the central nervous system and lower respiratory tract of newborn infants resulting in infant pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia. Ureaplasma is also a common cause of bladder infections that can be transmitted during vaginal-penile intercourse.
Anytime Doctor provides a regulated specialist service for people who have tested positive for ureaplasma or patients who have a sexual partner who has ureaplasma. If in doubt, please order a postal test kit before requesting treatment.

Just 3 simple steps
Most people do not experience any noticable symptoms. If symptoms do present, they can include:
Both antibiotics for ureaplasma are very effective if you follow your doctor's prescribing instructions. It is important to know which antibiotic the organism causing your infection will respond to. This information is usually provided along with your test results. Please do not try and guess which antibiotic you will need - the only way to know for sure is from a positive test result detailing the antibiotic susceptibility of the organism causing your infection.
You must not have unprotected sex (sex without using a barrier method) for at least seven days after you have finished your course of ureaplasma treatment. This is to ensure you do not pass ureaplasma to your partner. It is also recommended that both you and your partner receive treatment to prevent reinfection if they have already been exposed to ureaplasma.
If your partner has been exposed to ureaplasma, they should also receive treatment to prevent cross- or reinfection of ureaplasma. If unsure, they can order a ureaplasma test kit. Should your partner also wish to use the Anytime Doctor ureaplasma service, they are required to complete their own online consultation.
