Is it serious for women to be UU positive?

UU is the abbreviation of mycoplasma. Like bacteria and viruses, this microorganism will cause infection once it invades the human body, thus causing infectious diseases, the most common of which are respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections. When mycoplasma infection is suspected, bacterial testing is required. So, is it serious for women to be UU positive? Let’s take a look below.

When women check their leucorrhea, if the test sheet shows that it is positive for UU infection, it means that they have been infected with mycoplasma. Mycoplasma infection is not very serious. About 30% of normal women may carry this pathogen. If there are no symptoms and it does not affect pregnancy, then no treatment is needed. If the leucorrhea is yellow and increases abnormally, treatment is required. Mycoplasma infection is resistant to many drugs, so bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing of leucorrhea must be done. The cure can be achieved by using medication based on the results of drug sensitivity. If the secretions are still mycoplasma positive after a course of treatment and there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary.

Symptoms of Mycoplasma Infection

Urogenital tract infection: The incubation period is 1 to 3 weeks. The typical acute symptoms are similar to other non-gonococcal genitourinary tract infections, manifested as urethral stinging, varying degrees of urgency and frequency of urination, stinging during urination, especially when the urine is more concentrated, mild redness and swelling of the urethral opening, thin and small secretions, which are serous or purulent. It is often necessary to squeeze the urethra hard to see the secretions overflow. There is often a small amount of mucous secretion at the urethral opening in the morning, or only a scab membrane seals the opening, or there is a dirty crotch. The subacute stage is often accompanied by prostate infection. Patients often experience perineum distension and pain, back pain, discomfort on the inner sides of both thighs, or a stinging sensation radiating from the perineum to the inner sides of the thighs when doing anal lifting movements.

Female patients often suffer from reproductive system inflammation that spreads from the cervix. Most of them have no obvious subjective symptoms. 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. The infection is confined to the cervix, manifested by increased leucorrhea, turbidity, cervical edema, congestion or surface erosion. The infection spreads to the urethra, manifested by flushing and congestion of the urethral orifice. A small amount of secretions may overflow when the urethra is squeezed, but tenderness rarely occurs.

Early use of appropriate antimicrobial drugs can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease. The disease is self-limiting and most cases heal on their own without treatment. Macrolide antibiotics are the first choice, such as erythromycin, roxithromycin and azithromycin. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin, and tetracyclines are also used to treat Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. The course of treatment is generally 2 to 3 weeks. Because Mycoplasma pneumoniae has no cell wall, antibacterial drugs such as penicillin or cephalosporin are ineffective. For those who suffer from severe choking and coughing, appropriate antitussive drugs should be given. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, targeted antibacterial drugs can be selected for treatment based on sputum etiology examination.

The disease is self-limiting, and most cases can heal themselves without treatment. The use of appropriate antibacterial drugs can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease.

Erythromycin is the first choice for treatment, but tetracyclic antibiotics can also be used. Early use of appropriate antibiotics can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease to 7 to 10 days.
