Clinical manifestations of mycoplasma vaginitis

For women, if they suffer from vaginitis due to mycoplasma infection, the problem is generally serious, especially for women who have not given birth. If mycoplasma is transmitted to the fetus during the birth process, it is very likely that the newborn will be infected with mycoplasma, thereby causing some diseases. Therefore, it is very important for patients to understand the clinical manifestations of mycoplasma vaginitis and actively face the disease and receive treatment.

Mycoplasma vaginitis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Mycoplasma hominis (MH), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG).

Clinical manifestations

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, and pain when urinating, 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.

Mycoplasma vaginitis is often a 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. When the infection is confined to the cervix, symptoms include 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.

After knowing the clinical manifestations of mycoplasma vaginitis, it is recommended that patients receive timely treatment and pay attention to maintaining hygiene during treatment. If you are married, you should pay attention to whether your husband has also been infected with mycoplasma. If so, you should pay attention to treating both husband and wife at the same time, so that you can completely get rid of the mycoplasma infection.
