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 a sick person is not only a carrier of pathogenic microflora, but has also been damaged by the mucous membrane.
Features of pathology
During diagnosis, along with ureaplasma, chlamydia, mycoplasmas and other harmful bacteria are often detected in the body. If such microorganisms are found in women, the treatment regimen for ureasmosis 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.

Most often, doctors prescribe "Sumamed" to women. It must be applied once, the course can last about a week.
- Fluoroquinolones. For women diagnosed with 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 a long time. For a full recovery, it is recommended to use the remedy for three weeks.
- Tetracyclines. This group of drugs is used only when other drugs are ineffective. The most commonly prescribed are Unidox and Doxycycline. Today, these drugs for the treatment of ureaplasmosis in women are used extremely rarely. Usually,they act as a component of complex therapy, since studies have shown the high resistance of ureaplasma to these substances.
If a woman asked for medical help in time, and the inflammation did not have time to worsen, it is quite enough to use one of the described remedies according to the prescribed scheme. If the onset of complications is observed, the pathological process is aggravated, a complex of several drugs belonging to different groups is selected for the patient. It is noteworthy that mixing medicines with each other is prohibited. So the patient has to undergo several courses of therapy in parallel.

With the systematic use of such suppositories, the number of pathogenic bacteria and viruses decreases several times. As a rule, to obtain a positive result, only one suppository per day and a course of therapy lasting 1-2 weeks are enough.
- Suppositories with immunomodulating properties. Most of these funds 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.
