Ureaplasma is a specific bacterium that provokes the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system. True, its presence in the body does not at all indicate the need for therapy in women. Compliance with a specific treatment regimen for ureaplasmosis is necessary if the sick person is not only a carrier of pathogenic microflora, but also has suffered damage to the mucous membrane.
Pathology Features
During diagnosis, along with ureaplasma, chlamydia, mycoplasmas and other harmful bacteria are often detected in the body. When such microorganisms are detected in women, the treatment regimen for urealasmosis becomes an important component of complex therapy. After all, the presence of such microflora in the body indicates the presence of very serious diseases that can lead to irreparable consequences.
The treatment regimen for ureaplasmosis in women implies the use of the most effective means: gynecological suppositories, antibiotics and auxiliary drugs.
Reasons for the appearance
The accelerated reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms can be explained by several factors:
- a sharp weakening of the immune system;
- medical termination of pregnancy;
- bearing a child;
- chronic infections;
- hormonal abnormalities, which usually occur during menstruation.
Although in fact this is not the whole list of possible causes of ureaplasmosis in women. The treatment of this pathology largely depends on them. Indeed, the first thing to do is to eliminate the factor that prompted the active reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, and only then proceed to stop the symptoms. So it is important to diagnose not only the disease itself, but also its initial causes.
Symptoms and treatment of ureaplasmosis in women are also interrelated. After all, the treatment regimen is built by the doctor, depending on the clinical manifestations of the pathology. For example, if a woman is tormented by severe pain, appropriate analgesics are prescribed to her. If pain is absent, then there is simply no need for such drugs.
Symptoms of the disease
Pathology is characterized by a number of non-specific signs. The most common among them are:
- yellowish discharge with an unpleasant odor;
- pain, as well as discomfort in the vagina;
- cramps covering the lower abdomen - are characteristic of a prolonged course of the disease, when the appendages and uterus are affected;
- symptoms of purulent tonsillitis in cases where ureaplasmosis is transmitted by oral route;
- burning and other unpleasant sensations when the bladder is empty.
Leakage features
In general, many symptoms of this disease can vary depending on the causes that provoked it. Treatment of ureaplasmosis in women is also selected taking into account the detected symptoms and features of the course. It is necessary to prevent complications and the spread of infection.
If chronic signs of ureaplasmosis in a woman are detected, the treatment regimen includes potent drugs. Such therapy is prescribed for a long period.
Conditions for successful treatment
The treatment regimen for ureaplasmosis in women, as a rule, consists of several main points.
- After an appropriate diagnosis and confirmation of the diagnosis, the patient is prescribed antimicrobial medications. In addition, she is advised to take special medications that help restore immunity.
- If a woman has abnormalities in the digestive tract, she also needs to take medications that normalize intestinal activity throughout the course of treatment. In addition, a partial renewal or even full restoration of the vaginal microflora, which the ureaplasma bacteria can destroy, may be necessary. For this, each woman individually selects a special complex of drugs. In addition, agents with lactobacilli and bifidobacteria can be used as adjuvant therapy.
- Every woman with a diagnosis of ureaplasmosis must undergo appropriate treatment and refrain from intimacy throughout the course.
- Additionally, local therapy is used. For this, the patient is prescribed suitable suppositories.
- In addition to everything else, an appropriate diagnosis is selected individually. Women suffering from ureaplasmosis should completely abandon alcohol and junk food.
Drug therapy
There are several rules for effective treatment.
- The treatment regimen for ureaplasmosis in women does not always imply the use of serious medications. In fact, they are necessary only when acute inflammation is detected.
- If, according to the analysis, the woman was infected, she should take a course of medication. In particular, this stage of treatment is important for patients bearing a child. It is very important to observe preventive measures if a partner has pathologies that are indirectly or directly related to the onset of ureaplasmosis.
- For a complete recovery, you must undergo the prescribed course of treatment. Most often, gynecologists recommend antibiotic therapy to their patients. And in order not to harm the body while using potent medications, you should also be engaged in supporting the general state of health with the help of special drugs. Particular attention is paid to the activity of the digestive system.
- Usually, the treatment regimen for ureaplasmosis in women is built according to a standard model, based on antibiotics and immunomodulating agents.
- In some cases, the initially recommended regimen may be ineffective. And in order to identify this in time, you should systematically pass all the necessary tests. As a rule, they are carried out once a month.
Antibiotics
To timely eliminate the signs of pathology, special medications are used. Treatment of ureaplasmosis in women with drugs involves the use of several categories of drugs.
- Macrolides. Affect pathogens over time, are able to accumulate in cells. In this case, the optimal concentration of active substances can be maintained for three days. Most often, doctors prescribe Sumamed to women. It is necessary to apply it once, the course can last about a week.
- Fluoroquinolones. For women with a diagnosis of ureaplasmosis, gynecologists most often recommend Avelox. A gradual increase in its concentration in the body is impossible, due to which the course of treatment lasts long enough. For a full recovery, it is recommended to use the drug for three weeks.
- Tetracyclines. This group of drugs is used only when other drugs are ineffective. Most often, Unidox and Doxycycline are prescribed. Today, these drugs are rarely used to treat ureaplasmosis in women. Usually, they act as a component of complex therapy, since studies have shown high resistance of ureaplasma to these substances.
If a woman promptly sought medical help, and the inflammation did not have time to worsen, it is quite enough to use one of the described means according to the prescribed scheme. If the onset of complications is observed, the pathological process is aggravated, for the patient, a complex of several drugs belonging to different groups is selected. It is noteworthy that mixing medications with each other is prohibited. So the patient has to undergo several courses of therapy in parallel.

- Antifungal drugs. These funds are needed if a woman is prescribed a large number of antibiotics. The beneficial intestinal microflora in this case is destroyed, therefore, to prevent the propagation of harmful fungi and other harmful microorganisms, special preparations are used, for example, Nystatin.
- Medicines containing beneficial bacteria. With their help, a quick update of the damaged microflora is performed.
- Vitamins They are necessary to strengthen immunity and increase the body's defenses.
Suppositories
Gynecological suppositories effectively help in the fight against ureaplasmosis. In the treatment regimen for women, drugs are most effective when combining their different types.
- Candles with antimicrobial composition. Most often, preparations containing chlorhexidine or its analogues are used. With the systematic use of such suppositories, the number of pathogenic bacteria and viruses is significantly reduced. As a rule, to get a positive result, only one suppository per day and a course of therapy lasting 1-2 weeks are enough.
- Suppositories with immunomodulatory properties. Most of these tools not only restore immunity, but also contribute to the destruction of viruses. Such drugs should be used at least twice a day, and the course of treatment should last at least 10 days.
It is noteworthy that suppositories can only be used in combination with antibiotics. They cannot act as an independent therapy for ureaplasmosis in women. However, candles are also highly effective and are considered an important condition for recovery.
