Ureaplasma infections are sexually transmitted and can be transmitted through oral, vaginal, or anal sex. They can also be passed from mother to child during birth. The most common symptoms of ureaplasma infection are: Mild to moderate symptoms, such as infrequent, irregular periods Abnormal menstrual bleeding Inflammation of the urethra (urethritis) Ureaplasma infections can also be asymptomatic, requiring no treatment. However, if left untreated, they can increase the risk of complications, such as: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Ectopic pregnancy Infertility Ureaplasma infections should be treated promptly with antibiotics to avoid these potential complications. A healthcare provider can diagnose ureaplasma infections by performing a physical exam, taking a sample of fluid from the reproductive tract, or using a DNA probe to detect the presence of the bacteria.
