Does a positive Ureaplasma urealyticum test in men affect pregnancy?

In today's society, the economy is developing at a faster pace. Many young people are busy with their lives and ignore their health problems. They usually don't pay attention to maintaining their bodies, and they regret it when they want to have children after marriage. Having a child is a matter for two people. Although problems usually occur more easily in women, men should not ignore their health problems. So, can men get pregnant if their Ureaplasma test is positive?

Can a man get pregnant if he tests positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum?

It has been reported that ureaplasma infection is associated with 15% of male infertility. Some materials show that its infection is associated with infertility in some patients. The diagnosis rate of ureaplasma in men with infertility of unknown causes is 40% to 58%. Statistical analysis results show that the sperm vitality, sperm motility and relative density of male patients infected with ureaplasma are significantly reduced, while the abnormal sperm is significantly increased. In recent years, infertility caused by ureaplasma infection has attracted great attention from the medical community. Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection can cause male infertility, which is specifically manifested as poor sperm liquefaction, decreased sperm motility and activity rate, and increased abnormal sperm. Ureaplasma urealyticum can directly invade spermatogenic cells, affect the entire process of meiosis, and affect the production and perfection of sperm; directly or indirectly fuse with the structural domains on the surface of sperm and connect with each other to make the sperm curled and deformed, with pointed mouth, folded edges at the head and tail, swollen neck and other deformities. In addition, because UU is adsorbed on the surface of sperm in large quantities, the sperm becomes more and more "loose" from streamline, resulting in an increase in the friction resistance of the sperm when it moves forward, making the sperm movement speed very slow.

Chlamydia urea infection in the male reproductive system can be transmitted to women through sexual intercourse, causing female urinary tract infection and female infertility. Therefore, infertile couples should be tested for chlamydia urea. Therefore, for miscarriages with unclear causes, especially those with multiple miscarriages, the possibility of ureaplasma infection should be considered. Inflammatory adhesions of the fallopian tubes that are not completely blocked by ureaplasma infection can narrow the lumen and make it obstructed, which is also the key cause of ectopic pregnancy.

Is a positive Ureaplasma urealyticum test serious?

Because of unclean sex life, urinary tract infection is caused. It will further cause urethritis, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and salpingitis. Severe cases will cause infertility. Ureaplasma urealyticum is more serious for female reproductive health, so it should be checked and treated immediately after discovery. In addition to sexual transmission, there is also autoinfection, so the couple must check each other during treatment. There are still many treatment methods: First of all, sex life should be strictly prohibited. Oral roxithromycin and clindamycin treatment, sodium bicarbonate solution to clean the private parts, and nystatin suppository can be directly applied to the vagina.
