I was just diagnosed with ureaplasma. I'm from America but currently in Armenia and don’t trust the doctors here. I wanted more info on ureaplasma. Will I have it for the rest of my life? Is it curable? Will it affect my chances of being pregnant in the future or having a healthy baby? What medications are actually needed for treatment, and can I leave it untreated for a week if I don’t have heavy symptoms? Is it okay to be sexually active with this? Could I have gotten it from my current partner or a previous one?

I’ve noticed that I’ve developed blood clots in my legs when my period starts. I am not using any contraceptives currently, and I have a history of heavy periods and depression. I am 38 years old and have been using nattokinase to manage my clots. I also recently started drinking raspberry leaf tea, which has significantly reduced the heaviness of my periods. What could be causing these blood clots, and how can I rule out serious conditions like cancer?
