Mycoplasma infection in men is prone to infertility 6 methods to check for mycoplasma infection
Mycoplasma infection in men is also one of the causes of infertility, do you feel incredible? However, there is a basis for what I say. Here, let's explain in detail why mycoplasma infection affects male fertility, let's take a look.
Mycoplasma infection in men is predisposed to cause infertility
Mycoplasma positive can lead to infertility, mainly because it will interfere with the movement of sperm and reduce sperm motility, when men are infected with mycoplasma, the bacteria will attach to the head and tail of sperm, which will make the whole sperm full of attachments of different sizes, resulting in a decrease in sperm motility, unable to go up, which will inevitably affect fertility.
In addition, it will also increase the malformation rate of sperm, up to 80%, and mycoplasma infection will also affect the spermatogenic function of the testicles' seminiferous tubules, when mycoplasma enters the testicular seminiferous tubules from the urethra, prostate and other reproductive organs, it will destroy the spermatogenic cells of the testis, resulting in a decline in fertility. It can be seen that mycoplasma infection can lead to the occurrence of male infertility, so I hope that the majority of men can understand this, and when they find that there is abnormal discomfort, please go to a regular infertility hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, so as not to adversely affect fertility.
Next, let's take a look at the test methods for mycoplasma infection in men.
Approach to testing for mycoplasma infection in men
Complete blood count: peripheral white blood cell count is usually normal and eosinophilia is common.
Serological testing: The serum antibody titer in the convalescent phase is 4 times or more higher than that in the acute phase by complement fixation test, that is, it has diagnostic significance but no early diagnostic significance, and the microimmunofluorescence method is suitable for Chlamydia trachomatis.
Direct smear microscopic examination: take specimens of pharyngeal secretions, sputum, respiratory tract membrane or other parts for smear staining, GZmesa staining, the original body is stained red, the original body is stained dark blue, and the chlamydia trachomatis inclusion body is stained brown due to glycogen 801 staining.
Rapid antigen detection: monoclonal antibody direct immunofluorescence method is mostly used to detect chlamydia in specimens, and anti-chlamydia antibody, enzyme labeled antibody 18G and substrate can also be added by 2I-IsA method for colorimetric quantitative detection, which are simple and sensitive.
pcR technology: The detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae-specific DNA by ordinary pcR technology has the advantages of fast and simple, and its sensitivity is higher than that of cell isolation technology, but the effect of detecting throat swabs in specimens is not ideal, and the detection of nested pcR can significantly improve its sensitivity.
Chlamydia isolation: Chlamydia pneumoniae culture is best to use Hela cells or Hep-2 cells to take tracheal or nasopharyngeal aspirates as clinical specimens and inoculate them in time, and at present, Chlamydia is mostly identified by Hela cells or Hep-2 cells after culture through specific monoclonal fluorescent antibody method.This technique is highly sensitive and specific, and if the specimen can be collected early, a positive result can be obtained within 48 hours.
Mycoplasma infection in men should be checked in time to avoid affecting fertility.
