How many people are positive for ureaplasma?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Not much, ureaplasma infection can cause urinary and genital tract infections, and is considered the second most common cause of non-gonococcal urethritis after chlamydia. It is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, especially after unprotected sex. Since both you and your girlfriend have it, it indicates that you are experiencing cross-infection.
