Question
A two-and-a-half-year-old girl has discovered some white granular discharge around her urethral opening, accompanied by an unpleasant odor. The parents are inquiring whether this is a normal phenomenon and what kind of examination should be conducted to confirm the disease. They also ask if the condition can be transmitted through shared clothing or previously used towels.
Answer
Generally, the treatment for ureaplasma infection requires taking medication continuously for more than two weeks, with the specific course of treatment depending on the changes in the condition. Medications used to treat ureaplasma include erythromycin, clarithromycin, rifampin, and levofloxacin, among others. During the treatment period, personal hygiene should be maintained as ureaplasma can indeed be transmitted through contact.
