At the moment, a huge number of diagnostic methods have been created for all kinds of diseases. In some cases, seeding for mycoplasma and ureaplasma is taken . This is a fairly effective research method that allows you to identify a bacterial infection in both women and men. For work, as a rule, it is required to collect analysis. Material for research is taken exclusively by qualified specialists and only in sterile conditions. This allows you to accurately determine the presence of infection.
When you need a backseeding
When is bacteriological culture required? Most often, such a need arises when:
- infertility and miscarriage;
- the need to evaluate the result of antibiotic therapy;
- pregnancy planning, while the analysis is taken from both spouses;
- ectopic pregnancy.
It is worth noting that bacteriological culture on ureaplasma should be done 14 days after the abolition of treatment.
What gives such a study
Bacteriological culture is often used for:
- determining the causes of a chronic inflammatory process in the organs of the genitourinary system;
- differential diagnosis of diseases, the symptoms of which are very similar to signs of mycoplasma infection, chlamydia and gonorrhea;
- preventive examination of patients;
- assessment and selection of the effectiveness of a particular antibacterial therapy.
Features of such a diagnosis
Sowing on ureaplasma refers to the cultural diagnostic methods. To conduct such a bacteriological study, a specific nutrient medium is required in which the prepared material is placed. This method has its own characteristics. Depending on the symptoms and indications, all liquid media of the human body belong to biological material. In the case of ureaplasma, analysis is taken from the urogenital tract. However, there are exceptions. For example, urine for such a biological study is taken only from men.
It is worth noting that sowing on ureaplasma is an informational diagnostic method. The main disadvantage of such a biological study is the long sowing of bacteria. Therefore, it is now popular to take an urogenital scraping for diagnosis by the method of polymer chain reaction (PCR).
What is ureaplasma?
Why take such an analysis? Sowing on ureaplasma allows you to determine the presence of infection. What kind of disease is this? Ureaplasma is a microorganism that causes an ailment such as ureaplasmosis. Such bacteria can cause inflammation of the genitourinary system. This infection is transmitted, usually through sexual contact. In this case, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms can be detected only with the help of such a biological study as ureaplasma culture.
How is the disease diagnosed?
To detect the disease, not only sowing for sensitivity to antibiotics is carried out. Ureaplasma rarely penetrates the female body. Representatives of the weaker sex are less susceptible to it than to chlamydia. Therefore, women pass additional tests. Very often they are prescribed a study such as sowing on chlamydia. It is worth noting that modern technology allows us to determine not only the presence of a disease in the body, but also the number of pathogenic microorganisms. If the norm of the disease in this plan is not exceeded, then the doctor prescribes only immunomodulating treatment.
Inoculation for ureaplasma is prescribed only for indications to detect infection in the body. To determine the presence of antibodies that are produced against such diseases, another biological blood test is required. When diagnosing an infection, it is necessary to establish exactly how many ureaplasma microorganisms are present in the body. If there are a lot of pathogenic bacteria, the response of the immune system is significantly reduced. For this reason, with any contact with a patient with ureaplasmosis, it is recommended to consult a doctor and conduct a comprehensive diagnosis, which allows to detect the presence of urogenital infections.
How to prepare for analysis
To get an accurate result after passing the test for ureaplasma, you need to carefully prepare. This requires a series of events and a few rules:
- You should refrain from urinating about 3 hours before the delivery of biological material for research.
- It is worth restricting the use of antifungal, antiseptic drugs, as well as antibiotics before taking the test.
- Biological material for sowing must be collected no earlier than on the seventh day of the start of the menstrual cycle.
What is required for analysis
In addition to the above rules, there are requirements that must be observed by urologists and gynecologists when collecting a liquid medium for research. They are completely different and depend on what biological material will be used for sowing. For research, discharge from the inoculation, vulva, urethra, as well as the liquid medium from the vagina, its vestibule and cervix, can be taken.
If the biological sowing is complex, then a large amount of material is required. After all, the analysis is carried out not only on ureaplasma, but also on mycoplasma. To obtain more information and conduct a full study of urogenital infection in men, urine collection is done for diagnosis. The results of inoculation on ureaplasma can be found only at the attending physician.
In conclusion
The presence of pathogens is not always considered an indication for appropriate therapy. After all, ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas are in the human body for many years, without provoking the development of diseases.
It is worth noting that these microorganisms are classified by specialists as conditionally pathogenic. Their active activity occurs only with a decrease in the protective functions of the immune system. However, there are exceptions. If bacteria of Mycoplasma genitalium are found in the human body , immediate antibiotic therapy is required.
