Do you know the symptoms of mycoplasma infection?

Whether male or female, the first reaction to mycoplasma infection is urethral pain, followed by urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination. For female friends, the symptoms will be more serious and may even lead to salpingitis, endometritis, etc.

The incubation period is 1-3 weeks. The typical acute symptoms are similar to those of other non-gonococcal genitourinary tract infections, including urethral stinging, varying degrees of urgency and frequency of urination, and stinging during urination, especially when the urine is more concentrated. The urethral opening is slightly red and swollen, and the secretions are thin, small in amount, and are serous or purulent. The urethra needs to be squeezed hard to see the secretions overflow. There is often a small amount of mucous secretions at the urethral opening in the morning, or only a scab membrane seals the opening, or a dirty crotch is seen.

The subacute stage is often accompanied by prostate infection. Patients often experience distension and pain in the perineum, soreness in the waist, discomfort in the inner thighs, or a tingling sensation radiating from the perineum to the inner thighs when doing anal lifting maneuvers.

Female patients often suffer from reproductive system inflammation that spreads from the cervix. Most patients have no obvious subjective symptoms, and a few severe patients have a feeling of vaginal prolapse. When the infection spreads to the urethra, frequent urination and urgency are the main symptoms that attract the patient's attention. The infection is confined to the cervix, manifested by increased leucorrhea, turbidity, cervical edema, congestion or surface erosion. When the infection spreads to the urethra, symptoms include redness and congestion of the urethral opening. A small amount of secretions may overflow from the urethra when the urethra is squeezed, but tenderness rarely occurs.

A common complication of mycoplasma infection is salpingitis, and a small number of patients may develop endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
