What does it mean to be positive for Ureaplasma lyticum
From a medical point of view: Ureaplasma urealyticum is the smallest prokaryotic organism between bacteria and viruses, mainly residing in the genitourinary tract of the human body, among which Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) belongs to a kind of ureaplasma, when the body's immunity is reduced, it is one of the important pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases, which can not only cause vaginal, cervical and other genital infections, but also related to miscarriage and infertilityFetal intrauterine growth retardationThere is a close relationship.
Ureaplasma urealyticum can colonize the surface of urethral and genital tract mucosal epithelial cells, and direct sexual contact is the main mode of transmission of UU infection. In addition to direct sexual transmission, infection can also occur through indirect contact with contaminated clothing. Ureaplasma urealyticum can be transmitted vertically through the placenta or by ascending from a pregnant woman's lower genital tract, causing intrauterine infection, both of which can lead to miscarriage, preterm birth,Fetal intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight babies, premature rupture of membranes, and even a series of adverse consequences such as fetal death in utero. Many foreign scholars have conducted studies on unexplained male infertility and found that the sperm motility in the semen containing UU positive is poor, the content is small, and the abnormal sperm is greatly improved after treatment. Ureaplasma urealyticum is a genus of vaginal symbiotic bacteria that can be carried by normal people without causing disease, and it is only caused when the body's internal environment changes and its resistance decreases. Female infertility: The detection rate of UU in women with unexplained infertility was significantly higher than that in the normal population, suggesting that UU may be the pathogen causing infertility. Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a sexually transmitted disease mainly caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum, also known as non-specific urethritis. The prevalence of UU infection in patients with NGU was higher than that in patients without NGU, and patients with UU infection had higher concentrations of UU than in patients without NGU. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the most commonly detected organism in the amniotic fluid of preterm pregnant women. UU infection in pregnant women can have an impact on pregnancy. The appearance of UU in the placenta is associated with the occurrence of spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, and postpartum fever.
Ureaplasma urealyticum seriously affects women's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to remind the majority of female friends that they must pay attention to taking care of their private parts. If you are trying to get pregnant, you must pay attention to hygiene after intercourse. There are no diseases in the first place, and it is because of laziness that many diseases appear.Don't run away when you are sick, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Antibiotics are still the main treatment options for ureaplasma urealyticum infection, and the main drugs commonly used in clinical practice are tetracyclines, macrolides and quinolones, among which tetracyclines are the first choice. Some studies have found that the resistance strains of UU to tetracycline and other drugs are increasing, but no strains resistant to three types of drugs have been found at the same time, suggesting that the combination of two or three drugs may have the best effect.
