Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in women is an infection caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum in the urinary system, leading to urogenital urethritis. It results in abnormal vaginal discharge and can affect a woman's normal fertility. Once diagnosed with Ureaplasma urealyticum infection, treatment should primarily involve sensitive antimicrobial agents to combat the infection. It is recommended to avoid unsafe sexual practices and to use proper contraceptive measures, which can effectively prevent infection.
