Ureaplasma is associated with a variety of medical issues, including bacterial vaginosis (BV). It contributes to the fishy odor characteristic of BV due to ammonia release.
Ureaplasma is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium that hydrolyzes urea using the urease enzyme. This means it can survive in the air, and its infection may be considered a type of aerobic vaginitis (AV).
Ureaplasma is more challenging to manage than common BV-causing bacteria like Gardnerella vaginalis. This difficulty arises because Ureaplasma is naturally resistant to many commonly used antibiotics, including those used for treating BV. If you experience recurrent BV and multiple rounds of antibiotics have not resolved your symptoms or they keep returning, it might be worthwhile to test for Ureaplasma.
NeuEve offers several products that may assist in reducing Ureaplasma load. These include Silver (okay), Gold (good), BV Clear (excellent), BV Clear Finisher (outstanding), and AV NIL (the best). Please note that the stronger products like BV Clear and BV Finisher are only recommended for women under 40. Older women may be sensitive to these strong products due to aging-related vaginal atrophy.
AV NIL is highly recommended because it is the most effective and well-tolerated by most women. For ongoing maintenance after using AV NIL, choose a product that suits your age and needs. This article explains more:

How to Tell if Ureaplasma is Managed?
You can gauge the effectiveness of the product by noting if your BV-related fishy odor and discharge are gone after using it. If you are odor and discharge-free, it indicates a reduction in Ureaplasma. If these symptoms do not return for a few weeks, it suggests that the Ureaplasma has been significantly reduced. You can also confirm this with a vaginal microbiome lab test like the Juno test.
Since Ureaplasma often returns from reservoirs such as the bladder and the partner, ongoing maintenance as suggested in this article can help prevent recurrence:
How to stop BV from coming back?
If your Ureaplasma level is low (< 5%) and you do not have any discomfort symptoms like odor, discharge, burning, and itching, you do not need to treat it. You can use a NeuEve product that matches your age (Silk, >55; Silver, 45-55; and Gold, <45) for health maintenance. However, if you have discomfort symptoms, even if your Ureaplasma level is low, you should treat it.
Additionally, Ureaplasma can be challenging to manage because some bacteria may hide in your bladder or your partner's urinary system, escaping treatment. After the infection in the vagina is managed, it may return from the bladder or partner through sexual contact.

Customer feedback on clearance of Ureaplasma
Ureaplasma Parvum gone!
AV NIL
Sami, 8/25/2024
"I was having burning using half daily, so I cut down to 1/3 a suppository daily. To my SHOCK AND AMAZEMENT, I got retested, as I am having symptoms, but the ureaplasma is gone! I now just have to deal with the BV that remains. Doctor wants me to retest in 3 months to make sure it's gone, but this worked better than the antibiotic. Symptoms returned after a week of finishing the Doxy - this made the burning hot feeling disappear!"
Miracle and so thankful
"Listen ladies, This product has saved my life! I was diagnosed with ureaplasma in May 2022 after suffering for three years from reoccurring BV. No other doctor had tested me for ureaplasma so for the past three years. I was prescribed antibiotics for BV and it never worked. My sex life was full of pain and burning and I hated myself. In June 2022, After doing some research I found NeuEve. I finished the round of antibiotics the doc gave me for the ureaplasma as I was taking them when I found out about this product. Once I finished the antibiotics, I started using BV clear. Ladies let me tell you…. All of my symptoms were gone within the first three days of taking this product! While on the antibiotics (I was also taking probiotics at the same time) I still felt symptoms of ureaplasma. NeuEve was my last resort before I went back to my doctor to tell her I still felt pain. When I went back to the doc she tested me for ureaplasma and I no longer had it! I am so excited and happy. I am now subscribed to NeuEve and I don’t care about the cost. This product has literally saved my sex life. Thank you so much. Seriously!"
Scared to try, but I am so glad I did

So I was diagnosed with ureaplasma after months of severe pain(Dr kept misdiagnosing me) anyway finally gave me the right test and prescribed me meds! Took them and 2 weeks later I had pain and that fishy smell (quite embarrassing)! Looked online, saw this product (NeuEve Gold) and asked many questions to which I received honest answers. I never tried a suppository before but was desperate! So glad I did, it’s been a month and I have no odor or pain!!!! Should be getting my second box and will continue to buy them!!
