Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Yes, this is a bacterial infection of sexual activity transmitted. Usually it needs the secretions to be analyzed in the lab to find the exact bacteria and then it is the treatment. I suggest both of you to be seen closely by your doctor to get the treatment. You need to use condoms to avoid infection transmitted sexually.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
