Venerology 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 drugs. And which one is right? What should the patient do? What tests help detect these bacteria?
Mycoplasma and ureaplasma include several types. It can only be determined with the help of special tests. Most often, only Mycoplasma genitalium is treated. It is she who has a high level of pathogenicity. Often this bacterium is the cause of 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 bakposev. After receiving the results of the analysis, the doctor will review the results. After that, he will decide whether to treat or not. As a rule, ureaplasma can be part of the normal microflora of a woman. But in combination with other microorganisms: chlamydia, gonococci, trichomonads, gardnerella, herpes viruses, it gives a number of symptoms. Together, all of these are more difficult to cure, as it is easier for microbes to resist the action of drugs. As a rule, mycoplasma, ureaplasma manifest symptoms at the time of weakened 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 intrauterine infection, severe fetal pathologies occur. After birth, the work of the central nervous system, kidneys, bronchi, eyes, and liver is disrupted in a baby. May lose weight. 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.
This is why all pregnant women should be tested for 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.
It's actually not that scary. Treatment consists in restoring normal microflora and destroying all pathogenic bacteria. For this, certain groups of antibiotics are used. Notthe use of immunomodulators will also be superfluous.
In addition to the use of medication, doctors recommend dieting. This will allow the formation of normal microflora with beneficial bacteria. So everyone should consume dairy products. Try to eliminate or minimize fatty, smoked, sweet, alcohol, fried foods.
You also need to exclude sex life for the duration of treatment. The partner must also be tested. Infections such as mycoplasma and ureaplasma can lead to certain he alth problems.
