Will the prenatal check-up check for mycoplasma?

The prenatal examination will check for mycoplasma, because mycoplasma infection is a common genital tract infection during pregnancy, which can cause intrauterine infection, premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, fetal development abnormalities and other abnormalities. If mycoplasma infection occurs during pregnancy, treatment under the guidance of a doctor is recommended.

1. Intrauterine infection: If a pregnant woman has an intrauterine infection, because mycoplasma can cross the placental barrier and then cause intrauterine infection of the fetus, it may lead to intrauterine growth retardation or other malformations of the fetus;

2. Premature rupture of membranes: The ciliary function of mycoplasma epithelial cells is weak, and the resistance of the chorion can be enhanced by accelerating division, so it can be judged whether there is mycoplasma infection by detecting premature rupture of membranes during pregnancy;

3. Premature birth: due to mycoplasma infection, premature infants can cause inflammation in their lungs, and are prone to symptoms such as dyspnea and moaning.

4. Fetal development malformations: Mycoplasma can pass through the placental barrier and cause fetal infection. If mycoplasma infection occurs during pregnancy, the fetus may develop mycoplasma pneumonia after birth, and may also cause abnormalities such as heart malformations, ear malformations, and hydrocephalus.

If mycoplasma infection develops during pregnancy, treatment is recommended according to your doctor's advice and, if necessary, termination of pregnancy. Because pregnant women infected with mycoplasma, the microflora in the vagina may change, and the barrier function of the placenta will be weakened, which may cause adverse conditions such as premature rupture of membranes, so pregnant women should actively treat mycoplasma infection.
