Ureaplasma and mycoplasma

These bacteria are unique given they don’t have a cell wall. They are tiny and commonly found in the genital tract of men and women. Mostly they are regarded as harmless, however recent evidence points towards their potential as sexually transmitted opportunistic pathogens, which may lead to chronic asymptomatic disorders that affect fertility in both genders.1

Ureaplasma and mycoplasma, in some women, present with symptoms including pain or burning when urinating, frequent urination, and unusual discharge. Medical interventions should be made on a case by case basis, taking into account wider health goals and symptoms.
