Found Ureaplasma in small quantities - do I need treatment?

Olga: Hello. My husband found Mycoplasma. Were treated together. For control analysis the husband nothing was discovered, but it turned out that I have Ureaplasma parvum 10х3. My gynecologist said no need to treat, it is a normal flora. Please tell me whether it is possible to live openly, without protection? Do I need treatment? Clarify that microscopy of urogenital smear my norm. Worried I could infect her husband.

The answer of the doctor-doctor: Hello, Olga! This type of Mycoplasma refers to is conditional-pathogenic flora and treatment requires not always. But in certain circumstances (immunosuppression, hypothermia), it can cause inflammation of the urogenital system. However, in the above concentration, it is considered not dangerous and does not require treatment. Your gynecologist is absolutely right. If the husband also after the treatment no signs of inflammation in the overall smear and prostate secretion, it is possible not to worry. I wish you health.
