What are the symptoms of mycoplasma infection
As with other diseases, when mycoplasma infection occurs, it is important to understand the main manifestations of mycoplasma infection so that it can be better treated. However, not everyone is well aware of the characteristics, which can lead to delays in treatment. So, what are the symptoms of mycoplasma infection? Let's take a look.
1. Genitourinary tract infection
Genitourinary tract infection: the incubation period is 1~3 weeks, the typical acute phase symptoms are similar to other non-gonorrhea genitourinary tract infections, manifested as urethral tingling, different degrees of urgency and frequency, stinging pain, especially when the urine is more concentrated, the urethral opening is mildly red and swollen, the discharge is thin, the amount is small, it is serous or purulent, and the urethra needs to be squeezed hard to see the discharge overflow, often in the morning, there is a small amount of mucous discharge or only a scab seal at the urethral opening, or see the dirty crotch, In the subacute phase, prostate infection is often present, and patients often have perineal pain, backache, and discomfort on the medial thighs of both thighs, or a tingling sensation that radiates from the perineum to the medial thigh when doing levator anal maneuvers.
When the infection spreads to the urethra, frequent urination and urgency are the main symptoms that attract the attention of patients, the infection is confined to the cervix, manifested as increased vaginal discharge, turbidity, cervical edema, congestion or superficial erosion, and the infection spreads to the urethra as a manifestation of flushing and congestion of the urethra, and a small amount of discharge can overflow when the urethra is squeezed, but tenderness rarely appears.
even thoughpregnantIt can also easily lead to embryonic death, fetal death, spontaneous abortion, low birth weight, etc. Women infected with Mycoplasma hominisis can also cause renal pelvisnephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, postpartum fever, non-gonococcal urethritis and other diseases.
2. Respiratory tract infections
The onset is slow, the incubation period is 2~3 weeks, and there is general malaise, fatigue and headache at the beginning of the disease. After 2~3 days, the body temperature often reaches about 39 °C, which can last for 1~3 weeks, and can be accompanied by sore throat and muscle aches.
Cough is a prominent symptom of the disease, generally starting 2~3 days after the disease, at first dry cough, and then turning into intractable severe cough, often with viscous sputum with occasional bloodshots, a few cases can be similar to whooping cough. It can last for 1~4 weeks. Pulmonary signs are often subtle or absent. A few can hear dry and wet music. However, many patches disappear, so the signs are inconsistent with clinical manifestations such as severe cough and fever, which is one of the characteristics of this disease. Infants and young children have a rapid onset, a long course of disease, and a more severe disease, manifested as dyspnea, wheezing, and more prominent stridor sounds, and more pulmonary rales than older children. Some children may have hemolytic anemia, meningitis, myocarditis, Guillain-Leain's syndrome and other extrapulmonary manifestations.
You should know what are the symptoms of mycoplasma infection. Since there are many types of diseases induced by mycoplasma infection, the specific symptoms and manifestations must be different, so we must systematically understand and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time when we find suspected symptoms.
