What does a positive Ureaplasma culture mean?

A positive ureaplasma culture means that the patient is infected with ureaplasma, a vaginal symbiotic bacteria. Under normal circumstances, the patient can carry the disease but will not become sick. However, if the immune system deteriorates, it may lead to illness. For many pregnant women, if this situation is found, they must pay attention to recuperation in time and observe the health of the fetus at any time.

What does ureaplasma urealyticum positive mean?

1. Ureaplasma urealyticum is a vaginal symbiotic bacteria that can be carried by normal people without causing disease. It will only cause disease when the body's internal environment changes and resistance decreases.

2. Ureaplasma urealyticum can colonize on the surface of epithelial cells of the urethra and genital tract mucosa. Direct sexual contact is the main transmission route of UU infection. In addition to direct sexual contact, infection can also occur through indirect contact through contaminated clothing. Ureaplasma urealyticum can be transmitted vertically through the placenta or spread upward from the lower reproductive tract infection of pregnant women, causing intrauterine infection. Both can lead to a series of adverse consequences such as miscarriage, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, premature rupture of membranes, and even intrauterine fetal death.

What are the effects of Ureaplasma urealyticum?

1. Many foreign scholars have conducted research on unexplained male infertility and found that the sperm in UU-positive semen has poor motility, low content, and abnormal sperm. After treatment, the motility is greatly improved and the abnormal sperm is reduced. Female infertility: The detection rate of UU in women with unexplained infertility is significantly higher than that in the normal population, suggesting that UU may be a pathogen causing infertility.

2. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the most commonly detected microorganism in the amniotic fluid of premature pregnant women. UU infection in pregnant women will have a certain impact on pregnancy. The appearance of UU in the placenta is related to the occurrence of spontaneous abortion, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, postpartum fever, etc.

3. When the resistance of the female reproductive tract is low, UU lurking in the wrinkles of the cervical mucosa will multiply in large numbers and infect the mucosa of the cervical canal, which can lead to myometritis, endometritis, salpingo-oophoritis, pelvic abscess and inflammatory diseases of the pelvic connective tissue.

Ureaplasma urealyticum seriously affects women's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to remind the majority of female friends to pay attention to the care of their private parts. If you are planning to have a baby, you must pay attention to hygiene after sex. There are no diseases originally, but many diseases appear because of laziness. Don't avoid it if you are sick, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
