Ureaplasma urealyticum
Hello after a recent non protected sexual encounter I had red irritating foreskin, I went for urine test and diagnosed with Ureaplasma urealyticum, 10^5 CFU/mL.
• Is this actually a STD and can you only get this via sexual contact? Is there any other way of getting this? There is a lot of contradicting evidence online. The most credible article I read was this: http://medind.nic.in/iau/t15/i2/iaut15i2p205.htm
• The doc has given me Monoclarium 200mg 2 times a day (400mg) and Doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day (200mg) for a total of 14 days. I have found a lot of references regarding Doxycyline but not Monoclarium is this effective treatment?
• Could the Red burning irritated skin be a sign of a different STD? i.e. Herpes? There have been no ulcers, just general discomfort in the testicles. I didn’t perform any additional STD test other than Urine.
