Question: Is Ureaplasma Urealyticum contagious through sex? I am positive for it. They say it came from not wiping stool correctly and shouldn’t be an issue when I have sex. Is this true?

Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Yes it can be transmitted via a sexual route

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
I have gone through your query. So its a small bacteria which is a common organism in and around genitalia and can be transmitted by sex from one partner to another. However, there is no relation with the wiping of stool.

Treatment is simple for it including a short course of antibiotics.

Please get yourself checked for other infections also as ureaplasma is associated with low immunity.

Thanks and regards
