Venereology includes many diseases. Mycoplasma and ureaplasma are considered conditionally pathogenic, that is, not all experts consider it necessary to treat these pathologies. But other doctors prescribe medications. And which of them is right? What to do to the patient? What tests help detect these bacteria?
Mycoplasma and ureaplasma include several species. It can only be determined using special analyzes. Most often only Mycoplasma genitalium is treated . It is she who has a high level of pathogenicity. Often this bacteria causes infectious diseases of the genital tract. Most often, the asymptomatic carrier is a woman, not a man. Perhaps intrauterine infection at the time of passage of the fetus through the birth canal. But most often, ureaplasma and mycoplasma are sexually transmitted. In the future, they can lead to a number of unpleasant diseases and cause infertility.
The most reliable diagnostic method is PCR and bacterial culture. After receiving the results of the analysis, the doctor will examine the results. After decides to conduct treatment or not. As a rule, ureaplasma can be part of the normal microflora of a woman. But in combination with other microorganisms: chlamydia, gonococcus, trichomonads, gardnerella, herpes viruses, it gives a number of symptoms. Together, all this is more difficult to cure, since it is easier for microbes to resist the action of drugs. As a rule, mycoplasma, ureaplasma are manifested by symptoms at the moment of weakening of immunity, stress, after surgery, hypothermia, chronic diseases. In men, the bladder, urethra, and prostate are affected. In women, the vagina and uterus.
Mycoplasma and ureaplasma are dangerous for a pregnant woman. According to studies conducted during fetal infection, severe fetal pathologies occur. After birth, the baby disrupts the central nervous system, kidneys, bronchi, eyes, liver. Weight may be reduced. The complexity of the treatment lies in the fact that in children before puberty it is almost impossible to take material for analysis from the cervical canal or vagina.
That is why all pregnant women should be checked for the presence of sexually transmitted infections. Many of the diseases can cause miscarriages, interfere with the development of the fetus and lead to severe pathologies. Mycoplasma and ureaplasma are no exception.
In fact, everything is not so scary. Treatment consists in restoring normal microflora and destroying all pathogenic bacteria. For this, certain groups of antibiotics are used. The use of immunomodulators will not be superfluous.
In addition to the use of medicines, doctors recommend a diet. This will allow the formation of a normal microflora with beneficial bacteria. So everyone needs to consume fermented milk products. Try to eliminate or minimize fatty, smoked, sweet, alcohol, fried foods.
You also need to exclude during the treatment of sexual activity. The partner must also be tested. Infections such as mycoplasma and ureaplasma can lead to certain health problems.
