The dangers of mycoplasma infection

Mycoplasma infection is a sexually transmitted disease, also a STD. It is very harmful to us, especially in people with disordered sexual life, prostitutes, homosexuals, and gonorrhea patients. We all think that people with this infection are very unhealthy and very indecent. Mycoplasma infection is very harmful, so we must be able to prevent it in time.

Mycoplasma infection is also a very common sexually transmitted disease. It is transmitted through sexual intercourse. Once infected with this virus, it will cause great harm to the health of the body, and there will be obvious symptoms in the genitals. Let's take a look at the dangers of mycoplasma infection.

Mycoplasma infection symptoms

1. Urogenital tract infection

The incubation period is 1 to 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, the secretion is thin, small in amount, and is serous or purulent. The urethra needs to be squeezed hard to see the secretion overflow. There is often a small amount of other sexual 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.

2. Symptoms of Mycoplasma infection in men

It is prone to prostatitis, epididymitis, etc.; the result of infection is serious infection of the secretions in these parts; it directly affects the vitality and motility of sperm, resulting in a significant decrease in sperm quality and a significant increase in the number of dead sperm; the number of sperm with conception ability is reduced, the motility is reduced, the morphology is abnormal, and some have low or lost ability to enter the egg and combine with it; or directly lead to infertility, or threaten human reproductive quality and breeding capacity.

3. Symptoms of Mycoplasma infection in women

In the early stages of female infection, the vagina and cervix are usually invaded. These organs become inflamed, causing increased secretions. The vaginal discharge has an unusual odor, and some people feel slight discomfort in the reproductive tract. It is precisely because of the hidden symptoms that patients are often invaded by human Mycoplasma without knowing it. If not treated promptly, the infection will continue. It causes inflammation of the endometrium and swelling of the fallopian tube cilia, which damages the physiological functions of these organs, directly affects the entry of sperm into the uterus and fallopian tube, affects the combination of sperm and egg, and affects the normal operation of the fertilized egg. Even if pregnancy occurs, it can easily lead to fetal stillbirth, fetal death, miscarriage, low birth weight, etc. Women infected with Mycoplasma hominis may also develop pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, fever after abortion, fever after delivery, and non-gonococcal urethritis.

The hazards of mycoplasma:

1. After mycoplasma infection through the urethra, patients may experience symptoms of urethritis and may develop secondary chronic prostatitis. Women may have cervical and Bartholin's glands, which may cause urethritis, cervicitis and Bartholin's glanditis.

2. Decreased male sexual function: due to the damage of pathogenic microorganisms to the reproductive organs and sexual nerve endings, the sexual nerves become insensitive to effective stimulation, the sexual organs are in a refractory period for a long time, sexual desire and response are weakened, which can lead to impotence over time.

3. Mycoplasma continues to infect the seminal tract, seminal vesicles and testicles, affecting the quality of sperm and semen and causing infertility. Ureaplasma urealyticum infection causes pathological changes in male sperm, leading to male infertility.

Infertility is mainly caused by the following links:

1) Interfering with sperm movement: The movement of sperm at a certain speed and frequency is an important indicator of whether the sperm can conceive. After being infected, the bacteria attach to the head and tail of the sperm, causing the sperm to become unable to swim and entangle with each other, resulting in failure to conceive.

2) Causing sperm deformity: Causing sperm deformity is another characteristic that causes infertility. The sperm deformity rate can sometimes reach 80%.

3) Destruction of sperm production: There are a large number of spermatogenic cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles that develop and reproduce sperm. When mycoplasma and chlamydia enter the seminiferous tubules of the testicles from the urethra, prostate and other parts, they destroy the spermatogenic cells, affecting sperm production and leading to infertility.

The harm of mycoplasma infection can manifest itself in many aspects, not only affecting the patient's physical health, but also causing a great blow to their psychology. Especially if a normal person is infected with such a disease, he will not be able to bear it and will suffer a mental breakdown. Such diseases should be prevented, and if discovered, they must be treated as soon as possible.
