Common : That is a common bacteria present in the genital tract of many men and women. In most cases it causes no problems. He should follow the treatment guidelines as directed by his doctor.

Ureaplasma: Ureaplasma may be found as part normal flora in external genitalia of sexually experienced males or females and does not necessary mean an infection. However, in the right context, a concurrent std such as chlamydia and less commonly gonorrhea should be suspected & treated for. This is important in females as they can be asymptomatic.
