Why is mycoplasma positive

When many people undergo relevant urological tests, the test results show that mycoplasma is positive, and what is positive for mycoplasma naturally becomes the most concerned thing. In fact, mycoplasma is positive for non-gonorrhea has a close relationship, that is, non-gonococcal genititis, of course, female infection can also induce other aspects of gynecological diseases, which need to be specifically understood.

Mycoplasma are the smallest organisms known to live freely and are also the smallest prokaryotic cells. Mycoplasma is another class of microscopic pathogens that are different from bacteria and fungi, there are more than 80 species of mycoplasma genus, mycoplasma related to humans are Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Mycoplasma hominisis (MH), Mycoplasma urealyticum (UU) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), the former causes pneumonia, and the latter three cause genitourinary tract infections.Genitourinary tract infection with mycoplasma causes non-gonococcal urethritis in men and non-gonococcal genitouritis in women.

So far, several mycoplasma have been isolated from the human body, which are related to the reproductive tract, and the main ones that can cause genital tract diseases are Ureaplasma, and the main transmission routes are sexual contact transmission and mother-to-child transmission. Even if the urethra tests positive for mycoplasma and chlamydia, not all patients are sick: epidemiological studies have shown that ureaplasma urealyticum can be isolated in 34% of normal men.

Genitourinary tract infection with mycoplasma causes non-gonococcal urethritis in men and non-gonococcal genitouritis in women. Males present with itching, burning sensation in the urethra, and difficulty urinating, and in a few cases, frequent urination. The urethral opening is mildly red and swollen, the discharge is thin, and some patients are asymptomatic. Females manifest as increased vaginal discharge, burning of the urethra or pelvic inflammatory disease, salpingitis, etc., which can cause infertility, miscarriage andectopic pregnancy。

Women infected with mycoplasma do not always develop symptoms, and when they do, they vary depending on the site of infection, such as after an infection of the cervixCervical erosion, cervical mucosal edema, increased leucorrhea (purulent), contact bleeding, etc., fallopian tube infection can cause lower abdominal pain, low back pain and infertility.If mycoplasma infection occurs in pregnant women, the passage of the fetus through the birth canal during delivery can cause ophthalmia and pneumonia in the newborn.

After reading the introduction of why mycoplasma is positive, we should have a general understanding of its causes. When this situation occurs, it is necessary to pay enough attention, in addition to finding out the specific cause as soon as possible and then treating the symptoms, but also to do a good job of infection prevention measures to avoid cross-infection between one's relatives.
