What is the cause of mycoplasma infection in women

In daily life, mycoplasma infection is a relatively common infectious disease. In terms of incidence, the incidence rate in women is higher than that in men. In fact, this is also related to the female reproductive structure. For example, the female urethra is shorter and more vulnerable to the threat of mycoplasma virus, which leads to the disease, especially unclean sexual life. If you do not pay attention to private hygiene, you are prone to mycoplasma infection. This is a relatively large threat to women and often causes a variety of gynecological diseases, leading to infertility in women, cervical disease, ovarian disease, etc. After the infection occurs, it is necessary to carry out anti-inflammatory treatment in time and strengthen health care and conditioning in daily life.

There are many diseases caused by mycoplasma infection, among which we often discuss mycoplasma infection caused by sexually transmitted diseases. Mycoplasma can exist in healthy carriers. The more sexual partners a person has and the greater the sexual activity index, the higher the infection rate.

1. The female urethral opening is close to the vagina and anus, and the adhesion and sensitivity of urothelial cells to bacteria are higher than those of men. Menstrual blood is also a good breeding ground for bacteria. If you do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, bacteria will easily breed.

2. The female urethra is short, only about 3 to 5 cm, straight and wide, the urethral sphincter is weak, and the urethral opening is large, making it easy for bacteria to ascend and invade the bladder. Women's bladders are not emptied as completely as men's, and the amount of residual urine is larger. Urine stays in the bladder too long, which is conducive to bacterial growth.

3. During pregnancy, young girls or after menopause, infection is also more likely to occur due to changes in estrogen and pH values.

4. Gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease can cause bacteria to contaminate the urethra through the lymphatic pathway or secretions, causing urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection is also easily caused by vaginal/uterine trauma, infection, reduced systemic resistance, prolonged labor, and dystocia after childbirth. Doing a good job of prevention in daily life, especially paying attention to personal hygiene, actively exercising and strengthening physical fitness will play a positive role in preventing diseases.

Pay attention during treatment

1. To avoid mycoplasma infection, wash underwear separately. It is best to boil it in boiling water for more than five minutes (this method can prevent repeated infection with multiple pathogens). Exposing it to the sun is also a good way to sterilize it.

2. Strengthen your physical fitness and pay attention to rest. In addition, if there are abnormalities in leucorrhea, you need to pay attention to the occurrence of diseases.
