Thank you for reaching out to us. I understand that dealing with a diagnosis of Ureaplasma can be concerning, especially while undergoing treatment with doxycycline.
It's important to note that doxycycline, while commonly prescribed, may not always effectively eliminate Ureaplasma infections. This is due to several factors, including:
- Bacteriostatic Nature: Doxycycline is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, meaning it inhibits bacterial growth rather than killing the bacteria outright. This can sometimes rely on your immune system to fully clear the infection.
- Biofilms and Host Cells: Ureaplasma can form biofilms or reside within host cells, making it more challenging for the antibiotic to reach and effectively treat the bacteria.
- Coexisting Conditions: If you have bacterial vaginosis (BV) or low levels of Lactobacillus, the treatment environment may not be as responsive to antibiotics.
- Reinfection: There is also a possibility of reinfection from untreated sites or partners, which can further complicate treatment.
If you find that your symptoms persist or return after completing your course of doxycycline, I recommend considering NeuEve AV Clear (AV NIL) to help address Ureaplasma. Additionally, using BV Clear for maintenance after your treatment may help support your vaginal health moving forward.
