We do not here as a matter of course but I just had a patient with it who had had so many miscarriages so I thought I'd just put it here for anyone who may be interested.

Q: What is Ureaplasma Urealyticum?

A: Couples who experience infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, pelvic pain, premenstrual symptoms, or vaginal symptoms should be tested for ureaplasma urealyticum. A ureaplasma urealyticum infection can lead to fertility problems including tubal disease, recurrent miscarriages, decreased sperm motility and count, and poor post-coital tests.
