Is Ureaplasma Urealyticum in Women Easy to Treat?

Ureaplasma urealyticum is a relatively serious infection in women. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the smallest prokaryotic organism. It often causes reproductive system infections in women, causing vaginitis, cervicitis and other diseases. Pregnant patients are prone to miscarriage and fetal maldevelopment. Therefore, when women are infected with Ureaplasma urealyticum, they must be treated in time to avoid greater harm to their health.

Is ureaplasma urealyticum easy to cure in women? Antibiotics are still the main treatment option for ureaplasma urealyticum infection. Currently, the more commonly used drugs in clinical practice are tetracyclines, macrolides and quinolones, among which tetracyclines are the first choice. Studies have found that the number of UU strains resistant to tetracycline and other drugs is increasing, but no strains resistant to three types of drugs have been found, suggesting that combination therapy with two or three drugs may be the most effective.

Infection route: 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.

Ureaplasma urealyticum and infertility Many foreign scholars have conducted research on unexplained male infertility and found that the sperm in Ureaplasma urealyticum 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. Effects of Ureaplasma urealyticum infection on pregnancy 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.
