What are the effects of positive leucorrhea mycoplasma on pregnant women?

Many women may suddenly find that their vaginal discharge increases. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor tells them that their vaginal discharge is Mycoplasma positive. When female friends hear this term, they may be confused. What is Mycoplasma positive vaginal discharge? What effects does positive leucorrhea mycoplasma have on the human body? With these questions, let us understand the Mycoplasma positivity in leucorrhea so that everyone can have a clear idea.

Positive leucorrhea with mycoplasma is a mycoplasma infection in women, namely ureaplasma urealyticum. 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. 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.

After reading the introduction, female friends may worry that a positive leucorrhea mycoplasma test will affect pregnancy. In fact, Mycoplasma leucorrhea positivity can be treated, so if you are infected with Mycoplasma leucorrhea positivity, you do not necessarily need treatment if you do not have any symptoms. However, if you want to have a baby, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment and become pregnant and raise a child under the guidance of a doctor.
