Prenatal check-ups will require testing for mycoplasma

Prenatal checkups check for mycoplasma, mainly to check for mycoplasma infection to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, preterm birth, or premature rupture of membranes. Mycoplasma is a pathogen that can cause inflammatory infectious diseases of the respiratory, genitourinary and central nervous systems.

If mycoplasma antibodies are detected in a blood sample during prenatal check-ups, it usually indicates a recent mycoplasma infection, which usually resolves spontaneously without special treatment. If soparturitionIf mycoplasma infection occurs in the newborn, cesarean section is recommended to avoid adverse effects on the newborn.If a pregnant woman tests positive for mycoplasma IgM antibody in serum, it indicates a recent mycoplasma infection, which can cause fetal infection through the placenta, but the newborn is generally not ill at this time, and clinical observation is sufficient. A pregnant woman testing positive for mycoplasma IgG antibodies in her serum indicates a previous infection, and treatment based on antibody results is not recommended to avoid affecting the fetus.

If the serum antibody test in a pregnant woman is IgG antibody, it suggests that there may be a recent mycoplasma infection and generally does not require treatment. However, if the test is positive for IgM antibodies, further prenatal diagnosis should be performed to rule out intrauterine infection of the fetus.

The prenatal examination is mainly to carry out blood tests, ultrasound examinations, sperm quality examinations and other examinations for pregnant women, and determine whether there are diseases in pregnant women and fetuses through screening of various factors. Pregnant women should follow the doctor's instructions to prepare accordingly before the prenatal examination so as not to affect the growth and development of the fetus.
