Does Ureaplasma affect pregnancy?

If a woman is infected with ureaplasma urealyticum, it will often lead to infertility. This is also an important cause of female infertility, because this infection can easily lead to pathological changes in the female reproductive organs, cervicitis, and vaginitis, making it impossible for sperm and egg to meet and implant smoothly. Therefore, when this disease occurs, it must be treated in time.

Does Ureaplasma affect pregnancy?

Pathological changes in female reproductive organs caused by ureaplasma infection are an important cause of infertility. Domestic and foreign data suggest that the positive rate of ureaplasma culture in cervical mucus and semen of infertile couples is as high as over 50%. This shows that ureaplasma infection is related to the occurrence of infertility. Another adverse cause of ureaplasma infection is miscarriage. Some people have found that the positive rate of ureaplasma in aborted tissues is as high as over 40%.

Therefore, for unexplained miscarriage, especially multiple miscarriages, the possibility of ureaplasma infection should be considered. Inflammatory adhesions of the fallopian tubes caused by incomplete obstruction of the fallopian tubes due to ureaplasma infection can narrow the lumen and make it obstructed, which is also an important cause of ectopic pregnancy.

After women become pregnant, the increase in progesterone suppresses cellular immunity, reduces the body's resistance, and makes them more susceptible to ureaplasma infection. Perinatal infection caused by ureaplasma has become a new problem facing modern obstetrics. Ureaplasma urealyticum can be transmitted vertically through the placenta or spread upward from the lower reproductive tract 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 infection is a sexually transmitted disease. If the primary infection can be identified and treated at the same time, it is a completely curable disease. Female friends can treat it through oral Chinese medicine. They should pay more attention to physical hygiene and maintain good eating habits.

Mode of transmission

It is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, and is more common in young people during their sexual prime, especially after unclean sexual intercourse. When inflammation occurs in the urogenital tract and the mucosal surface is damaged, ureaplasma urealyticum can easily invade through the damaged area and cause urogenital tract infection. After being infected with ureaplasma urealyticum, most patients have no obvious symptoms. Therefore, it is difficult for patients to detect it and it is easy for doctors to miss the diagnosis. Ureaplasma urealyticum can invade the urethra, cervix and Bartholin's glands, causing urethritis, cervicitis and Bartholin's glands; when the infection ascends, it can cause endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease and salpingitis, especially salpingitis. Pathological changes in female reproductive organs caused by ureaplasma infection are an important cause of infertility.
