How ureaplasma infection is treated
Ureaplasma ureaplasma infection generally endangers the reproductive health of men and women, and even affects normal fertility in severe cases. After being diagnosed with ureaplasma infection, it is critical to take the right measures for treatment in a timely manner. So, how is ureaplasma infection treated? Let's take a look.
The treatment of ureaplasma genital tract infection must be carried out cautiously and not too aggressively. Treatment of the spouse or sexual partner of a person infected with Ureaplasma urealyticum is also cautious, and the key is to target other STD pathogens that may be present. There are many people with ureaplasma infection who have been treated with antibiotics for a long time, but the ureaplasma test is still positive, and many new discomforts have emerged. The reasons for this are extremely complex, such as resistance to ureaplasma ureaplasma, incorrect detection or inadequate reagents, superinfection (long-term antibiotic users are prone to fungal and other non-sensitive bacterial infections), and psychological factors.
In general, drugs that are effective for chlamydia infections are also effective for mycoplasma infections. If necessary, tetracyclines (commonly used tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline), macrolides (commonly used erythromycin, erythromycin, roxithromycin, azithromycin) and quinolones (commonly used oxyfloxacin, levofloxacin) and spectinomycin, clindamycin, clarithromycin can be used to treat Mycoplasma genitalium infection, and the course of treatment is 1~2 weeks. Among them, erythromycin is ineffective against Mycoplasma hominis, and clindamycin is ineffective against Ureaplasma urealyticum. For female pelvic inflammatory disease, its multifactorial nature should be considered, and treatment should include antibiotics for gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis and anaerobic bacteria, and a combination of cefoxitin doxycycline or clarithromycin gentamicin is recommended abroad. For possible causes of mycoplasma infectionprostatitis, minocycline is appropriate because minocycline crosses the prostate capsule and achieves the concentration of the drug required to kill mycoplasma in the prostate. It is worth mentioning thatprostatitisThe etiology is complex, antibiotic therapy is not always effective, and a combination of therapies is required, and treatment is best done with the advice of a urologist.
Recently, the problem of antibiotic resistance of ureaplasma urealyticum has attracted much attention, and the misuse of antibiotics may be an important factor leading to ureaplasma resistance. The resistance strains of Ureaplasma urealyticum to tetracycline accounted for 10%~20.6%, the resistance to doxycycline accounted for 8%~27.5%, and the resistance to erythromycin accounted for 10%~52.4%. Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis are resistant to ofloxacin in nearly 20%.
Ureaplasma urealyticum resistant to roxithromycin and azithromycin has also been reported. Due to the increasing resistance of Ureaplasma urealyticum to antibiotics, attention should be paid to clinical use. Some experts advocate that in the treatment of ureaplasma infection, in order to reduce or prevent the emergence of drug-resistant strains, it is advisable to use 2~3 different types of antibiotic combination therapy.
The introduction of how to treat ureaplasma infection should be clear to everyone. There are many ways to treat ureaplasma infection, but each patient's condition is different, and the appropriate treatment method is different.
