What does a positive gynecological mycoplasma test mean?

Among the microorganisms that are harmful to human health, there is a type called mycoplasma, which is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and mother-to-child transmission, and can cause reproductive system diseases. If a woman tests positive for mycoplasma in her urethra, she should pay attention to timely examination and treatment. Although some people may not necessarily get sick when they test positive for mycoplasma, if they are infected, it will induce many kinds of diseases.

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.

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.

If the leucorrhea of ​​childbearing women increases, turns yellow and has an odor, and the mycoplasma test is positive, it is mycoplasma infection and needs treatment. And it is possible to infect or spread other diseases at the same time, such as chlamydia infection, trichomoniasis, vaginitis, gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS, etc. Further examinations for related sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonococcal culture, RPR, HIV, etc. are necessary, and drug sensitivity tests can be performed to facilitate the selection of more sensitive drugs for treatment.

It can be seen from this that when a woman is found to be mycoplasma positive during a gynecological examination, attention should be paid, because this situation indicates that an infection may have occurred in the body, which will lead to the occurrence of many diseases, such as infertility, fetal abnormalities, chlamydia infection, etc., and symptomatic treatment should be given in time to prevent the condition from further aggravating and causing serious consequences.
