ADVICE

so i thought i’d share this since it’s super important and not a lot of people know., if you have been diagnosed with ureaplasma and you’ve taken the antibiotics and are still having symptoms and dont know if you still have it or if you just need pelvic floor therapy this is for you: if you still have ureaplasma then when you have your period your symptoms will get worse, if you need pelvic floor therapy and you have a hypertonic pelvic floor (which most people obtain due to ureaplasma which is why they can’t tell if it’s gone or not) then your symptoms will get better during your period. the reasoning for this is because when you have a hypertonic pelvic floor, your muscles contract and tighten significantly, you feel like you need to pee frequently, you have urgency even after you just went, hesitancy when peeing sometimes or all the time, and you may also have increased irritation due to things you eat or uncomfortable/painful sex. so on your period, your muscles naturally relax during that time which means your hypertonic pelvic floor will get relief during your period. but as for ureaplasma since it’s an infection, it will thrive during that time and you’ll feel worse. hope this helps! (not a doctor i’ve just dealt with this for a very long time now and done a lot of research and if you need more verification google is always available or you can ask your doctor

please dm if you have questions!!
