What should I do if mycoplasma urealyticum is positive and I am pregnant?

If a woman knows about Ureaplasma and is pregnant at this time, it will have a relatively large impact on her. At this time, she should have a timely check-up to see whether the fetus is developing normally. If the child's development is normal, then we must emphasize care to avoid transmitting the disease to the child. If the child has some problems, we must treat him under the guidance of grassroots level to see if the fetus can be saved.

What diseases can Ureaplasma urealyticum cause?

1. Non-gonococcal urethritis:

Urethritis caused by Chlamydia or Mycoplasma is called non-gonococcal urethritis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the important pathogens. The disease is more common in young people. Symptoms include urinary urgency, pain, urethral itching or difficulty urinating, and sticky secretions or crusts at the urethral opening. It is similar to gonorrhea, but milder than gonorrhea. However, it cannot be differentiated from clinical symptoms and must rely on laboratory tests.

Prostatitis caused by ureaplasma urealyticum infection is a non-bacterial prostatitis, which is usually acute. The typical symptoms are white drops of urine at the end of the urine, residual urine after urination, and the external opening of the urethra being stuck with secretions. 4. Male infertility:

The relationship between male infertility and ureaplasma has attracted increasing attention. A scholar once investigated 921 infertile men and found that 511 of them were positive for ureaplasma, accounting for 55.48%, while in the normal fertility group, 25 of them were positive for ureaplasma, accounting for only 18.93%. The mechanism by which ureaplasma infection causes male infertility has not yet been fully understood, but it generally includes the following aspects: (1) Mycoplasma invades spermatogenic cells, reducing sperm production; (2) adsorbs on the surface of sperm, increasing the rate of sperm deformity; (3) interferes with sperm-egg recognition and fusion; (4) the presence of common antigens between mycoplasma and sperm may cause immune infertility.

Ureaplasma urealyticum in the male urogenital system can "hitch a ride" with sperm into the female reproductive tract, causing endometritis, salpingitis, oophoritis, membranitis, spontaneous abortion and intrauterine fetal death, etc., affecting fertility.
