What should I do if I find out I have mycoplasma infection during a gynecological examination?

During gynecological examinations, female friends are often found to have cervical mycoplasma infection. They have never had unclean sex, so how could this happen? After careful investigation, it was found that there were no other symptoms except infection. After the doctor's explanation, I learned that I did not have a sexually transmitted disease and did not need hospitalization.

Cases like this where positive mycoplasma infection tests are treated as sexually transmitted diseases are not uncommon and we often encounter them. So what exactly is mycoplasma? We already know that the female vagina is not an absolutely sterile environment, and there are about 20 kinds of microorganisms living in the vagina. It is because of their existence that the vagina maintains a normal ecological environment. Mycoplasma in the female vagina, whose full name is ureaplasma, is a very common microorganism in the human urogenital tract.

Mycoplasma is smaller than bacteria, larger than viruses and has a more complex structure. Its isolation rate in the reproductive tract of sexually mature women is very high. So why do many clinics and hospitals treat women who test positive for mycoplasma? This is because there are indeed studies that suggest that mycoplasma is related to sexually transmitted diseases such as non-gonococcal urethritis and epididymitis, and is also related to reproductive and urinary system diseases such as prostatitis, female urethral symptoms, pyelonephritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, many hospitals have carried out testing and treatment for mycoplasma. With the improvement of technology, the sensitivity of the inspection methods has also increased, and the positive detection rate of mycoplasma has increased accordingly. A positive gynecological mycoplasma test is an infection state and requires active treatment. Treatment can reduce the mycoplasma carrier rate and help accelerate the recovery of reproductive tract diseases or sexually transmitted diseases. Erythromycin, ofloxacin, azithromycin, etc. can effectively treat mycoplasma infection.

This symptom is only the mildest of sexually transmitted diseases. The infection is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse or blood. If you already have symptoms of mycoplasma infection, you should refrain from sexual intercourse while taking the medicine, and be sure to use condoms during future sexual intercourse. To prevent mycoplasma infection, we must address the root cause, refuse unclean behavior, and reduce the possibility of getting sick.
