A member asked:
I had a semen culture test in which i had ureaplasma positive and mycoplasma negative. what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Means nothing: Ureaplasma is a normal bateria in the urinary tract; up to half of all adults have it. Although rarely some strains of Ureaplasma can cause symptoms, such as the STD nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), there is no need for treatment in men (or women) without symptoms. There is no proved effect on male or female fertility. (The same is also true for most types of Mycoplasma.)
