Positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum at 36 weeks of gestation

Under normal circumstances, a positive result for *Ureaplasma urealyticum* at 36 weeks of pregnancy indicates an infection with *Ureaplasma urealyticum*, which may be caused by unhygienic sexual activity, poor personal hygiene, low immunity, vaginal flora imbalance, or urinary tract infections. Treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. The detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Unhygienic Sexual Activity

If a pregnant woman engages in sexual intercourse with a partner infected with *Ureaplasma urealyticum* at 36 weeks of gestation, she may become infected, leading to the aforementioned condition. It is recommended that pregnant women undergo timely testing. If no obvious symptoms are present, special treatment is usually not required.

2. Poor Hygiene

If a pregnant woman neglects personal hygiene at 36 weeks of pregnancy, the genital area may become infected with *Ureaplasma urealyticum*, resulting in increased vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia. It is advised that pregnant women change their underwear frequently and avoid sharing towels, bathtubs, or other personal items.

3. Low Immunity

Poor dietary habits during pregnancy, such as picky eating or selective eating, may lead to malnutrition and weakened immunity at 36 weeks, making the body more susceptible to *Ureaplasma urealyticum* infection and resulting in the above test findings. Pregnant women are advised to maintain a balanced diet and consume adequate nutrients, including protein and vitamins, from foods such as eggs and celery.

4. Vaginal Flora Imbalance

Vaginal flora imbalance is primarily caused by frequent sexual activity or prolonged use of antibiotics, leading to disruption of the vaginal microbiome and the observed condition. It is recommended that pregnant women use medications such as sodium bicarbonate tablets or lactobacillus tablets under medical supervision.

5. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Urinary tract infections are mainly caused by bacterial infection, kidney stones, or urinary obstruction, leading to inflammation of the urinary tract. Symptoms may include frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Some pregnant women may also show a positive result for *Ureaplasma urealyticum*. It is recommended that pregnant women receive anti-infective treatment with medications such as injectable penicillin sodium or injectable ceftriaxone sodium under the guidance of a physician.

Pregnant women who experience any discomfort should seek medical attention promptly and receive standardized treatment under a doctor's supervision to promote recovery.
