What diseases are infected by Mycoplasma urogenitourinary?

positive for ureaplasma:

1. If both parties have no symptoms and the quality of the man's semen is normal, he is considered a carrier and can not be treated;

2. The safe plan is to stop the drug for two weeks after treatment and re-examine, if it is still positive and there are no symptoms, it is considered as a carrier and will not continue treatment;

3. Symptomatic patients must be treated with medication, and their sexual partners must be treated at the same time, and unprotected sexual intercourse must be avoided during the period.

1. What is mycoplasma

Mycoplasma is a microorganism that is smaller than bacteria. There are 16 species of mycoplasma that can be isolated from humans, and 7 of them are pathogenic to humans. Common mycoplasmas associated with genitourinary tract infections include Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu), Mycoplasma hominis (Mh), and Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg).

2. Asymptomatic carrying

Mycoplasma colonizes the genitourinary tract, and a significant number of mycoplasma carriers are present in the population without symptoms and signs. Ureaplasma ureaplasma can be divided into two subtypes: Parvo biotype and T960 biotype. The pathogenic capacity of the two is comparable, and mycoplasma characteristic of the T960 biota is easily carried. However, considering the cost of testing, there is no specific type of clinical testing, so it is impossible to determine whether it is carried.

3. Diseases related to mycoplasma urogenital tract infection

1. Urethritis

Mycoplasma is a common pathogenic organism of urinary tract infections, and the most common urinary tract infections caused by mycoplasma are urethritis, and others include pyelonephritis.

2、Cervicitisand pelvic inflammatory disease

In recent years, there has been a large body of evidence that Mycoplasma genitalium isCervicitis, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, diseases of the male reproductive tract, and causes of tubal infertility.Mycoplasma genitalium has important clinical significance, but there are few clinical tests for Mycoplasma genitalium in China.

3. Chorioamnionitis and preterm birth

There is much evidence that ureaplasma can cause intra-amniotic infection.

4. Effect on male semen quality

There are many clinical studies that show that Ureaplasma urealyticum may affect sperm motility, either because mycoplasma adhesion affects sperm motility, or because mycoplasma induces the production of antisperm antibodies.

Fourth, the principle of treatment

1. If both men and women have no symptoms related to genitourinary tract infection, and only ureaplasma is positive, they are considered carriers and do not need to be treated;

2. When the symptoms and signs of ureaplasma disappear after infection treatment, and only the laboratory test results of ureaplasma are positive, it should be considered whether to be converted to ureaplasma carrier, and there is no need to continue drug treatment;

3. If a man is diagnosed with ureaplasma ureaplasma urethritis, it is recommended to treat the sexual partner at the same time, and pay attention to avoid unprotected sexual intercourse during the period;

4. When the quality of male semen is abnormal and there is a need for fertility, both men and women are recommended to treat a course of treatment at the same time;

5. If you can be tested for Mycoplasma genitalium, you should suspect urethritis andCervicitisactively test for Mycoplasma genitalium;

6. In the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, it should be considered that mycoplasma may be involved in the pathogenesis of pelvic inflammatory disease, and the antibacterial spectrum should cover mycoplasma.
