After our 2nd misscarriage this year, our OB-GYN performed multiple test in search of a cause. He found the presence of a bacteria in my wife's vagina called Ureaplasma Urealyticum. He originally said it was commonly contracted from pond water or well water however, I only find information regarding sexual transmition. My wife and I have been monogamous for more than 16 years therefore, I am interested in the theory of well water contamination. If this is a possible cause, I need information on testing and treating my water supply.
Our OB-GYN started my wife and I on Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 14 days. Again, Starting me on this without a positive test result sounds more like a sexually transmitted disease. If it is related to our water supply, should I do any test or offer prophalactic treatment for my 5 year old daughter. My daughter does have a continued problem of urinary frequency and urinary urgency. Urine test do not identify a UTI. Could this be related?
