Diseases that people get infected through the genital tract are increasingly spreading among humanity. Today's topic is ureaplasma. What is ureaplasma? These are bacteria that carry out their vital activity on the mucous membrane of the genitourinary system. Ureaplasma parvum is one of the most common types of this infection, which causes the disease ureaplasmosis. In fairness, it should be said that doctors note a fairly common asymptomatic course of this disease.
Symptoms
So, the topic of this article is ureaplasma. What is it? First of all, these are bacteria-enemies of the genitourinary system. The insidiousness lies in the fact that their vital activity, as a rule, proceeds asymptomatically or with very blurred signs that quickly disappear. This is especially true for women. As a result, a person in the body has a chronicureaplasmosis. I hope everyone knows what a chronicle is.
If the patient is lucky to feel the symptoms of this disease, they will look like this. During urination, discomfort, burning and pain appear in the urethra. Often there is a colorless discharge, which is also odorless. If suddenly they turn yellow-green or yellowish, as well as an unpleasant smell, this indicates the presence of inflammation.
There are also pronounced symptoms that are characteristic of the simultaneous presence of two types of infections. Frequent "union" create chlamydia and ureaplasma. In an acute and exacerbated form, the disease caused by these bacteria can manifest itself in the form of vulvovaginitis. With significant inflammatory processes caused by this disease, the patient feels pain in the lower abdomen. They can be both pronounced and blurry. Also, these sensations can periodically alternate with each other.
Ureaplasma is also transmitted orally. What is oral? This is the entry of bacteria through the mouth. The manifestation of the disease in this case is expressed somewhat differently. A purulent plaque forms on the tonsils, pharyngitis, tonsillitis begin to develop, it is difficult for a person to swallow and the throat hurts. Often the patient mistakenly believes that this is the beginning of an acute respiratory disease or SARS.
Chronicle
If left untreated, the symptoms will go away with time, but the pathogen will not go anywhere from the body. If there is a drop in immunity, the disease will again make itself felt. It is capable of causingthe following factors: hypothermia, physical activity, stressful situations, the presence of any other disease, pregnancy, etc.
Unfortunately, this ailment is very often detected with a significant delay, when it has long passed into a chronic state. As a rule, tests for the presence of these bacteria have to be taken before planning a pregnancy or after unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child. As you can see, ureaplasma is very insidious. What is it, you already understood. But do not lose sight of the fact that this infection can lead to other genitourinary diseases, such as colpitis, endometritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, arthritis, and more.
Treatment
How to cure ureaplasma? Bacteria are eliminated only with the help of antibiotics and auxiliary drugs. Treatment lasts at least two weeks with antibacterial and immunostimulating agents. Only a doctor can correctly diagnose and select the necessary drugs for therapy. In no case should you self-treat, as this can lead to even more sad consequences.
