Dr. Jiang Weimin
Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during treatment for *Ureaplasma urealyticum* infection. *Ureaplasma urealyticum* is a common pathogenic microorganism that can be transmitted through direct sexual contact, mother-to-child transmission, or contact with shared personal items—potentially infecting other healthy individuals. Prompt treatment is essential upon diagnosis; during treatment, abstinence from sexual activity is mandatory to prevent cross-infection.
