What are the symptoms of Mycoplasma urethritis and how is it transmitted?

In this society of feasting and revelry, people are under great pressure. Hotels and nightclubs have become places that people frequently visit, and one-night stands or promiscuous sex have become commonplace. However, few people know that such a life will sow the seeds of trouble for themselves and, over time, will cause great harm to their bodies.

Causes of Mycoplasma and Chlamydia Infections

Mycoplasma is the smallest microorganism that lives outside cells. It is a type of prokaryotic microorganism that lacks a cell wall. It has many species and is widely distributed. It causes considerable harm, involving humans, animals, plants, insects and other fields, bringing adverse effects to human health and scientific research.

Mycoplasma is a type of microscopic pathogen different from bacteria and fungi. There are more than 80 species in the genus Mycoplasma. Mycoplasmas related to humans include Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Mycoplasma hominis (MH), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG).

Experts say that mycoplasma and chlamydia infection, these two pathogens can exist in the human body at the same time, infecting the human urinary and reproductive system. The most common such disease in medicine is chlamydia mycoplasma non-gonococcal urethritis (also known as non-gonococcal urethritis). In other words, mycoplasma chlamydia infection is a type of non-gonococcal urethritis. Once infected, it is very harmful to the human body.

In fact, this disease can also be transmitted to others through sexual intercourse or contact with unclean objects, so it is also a sexually transmitted disease. Mycoplasma and Chlamydia mainly exist in the cavitary mucosa of humans and animals. Mycoplasma genital tract infection is related to non-gonococcal urethritis or cervicitis. In addition, it can cause prostatitis, epididymitis, salpingitis, miscarriage, stillbirth and infertility.

Clinical manifestations of mycoplasma and chlamydia infection

1 The incubation period of urogenital tract infection is 1 to 3 weeks. The typical acute symptoms are similar to other non-gonococcal urogenital tract infections, manifested as urethral stinging, varying degrees of urgency and frequency of urination, and stinging during urination, especially when the urine is more concentrated. The urethral opening is slightly red and swollen, and the secretion is thin and small, which is serous or purulent. It is often necessary to squeeze the urethra to see the secretion overflow. There is often a small amount of other sexual secretions or only a crust membrane sealing the urethral opening in the morning, or dirty trouser crotch.

The subacute stage is often accompanied by prostate infection. Patients often experience perineum swelling and pain, back pain, discomfort in the inner thighs, or a tingling sensation radiating from the perineum to the inner thighs when doing anal lifting movements.

2 Symptoms and hazards of mycoplasma infection in men are prone to prostatitis, epididymitis, etc.; the result of infection leads to serious infection of the secretions of these parts; directly affects the vitality and motility of sperm, resulting in a significant decrease in sperm quality and a significant increase in the number of dead sperm; the number of sperm with fertilization ability decreases, the motility decreases, the morphology is abnormal, and some have low ability or loss, losing the ability to enter the egg and combine with it; or directly leads to infertility, or threatens human reproductive quality and breeding ability.

3 Symptoms and hazards of mycoplasma infection in women In the early stages of infection, the vagina and cervix are usually invaded. These organs undergo an inflammatory reaction, resulting in increased secretions. Leucorrhea has an abnormal odor, and some people feel slight discomfort in the reproductive tract. It is precisely because of the hidden symptoms that patients are often invaded by human mycoplasma without knowing it. If not treated in time, the infection will continue. Leading to the following problems:

1. Gynecological inflammation

Mycoplasma infection in women can cause some gynecological inflammations, the most common of which is cervicitis. If not treated in time, it can cause other gynecological inflammations, such as endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

2. Infertility

Mycoplasma infection is a common factor causing female infertility. Mycoplasma infection often leads to reproductive tract inflammation in women, which in turn can cause infertility. Some data show that among infertile women, about 90% may have mycoplasma infection, which is 70% more than normal women.

3. Impact on maternal and infant health

If a woman is pregnant with mycoplasma infection, or if she is infected with mycoplasma infection after pregnancy, the incidence of problems such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, polyhydramnios, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, chorionic chorionicity and endometritis will increase. The infection may also spread to the fetus, increasing the chance of fetal malformations, and the incidence of neonatal conjunctivitis, pneumonia and congenital heart disease, which is not good for the health of mother and baby.

The above are some of the main hazards of mycoplasma infection in women. It can be seen that mycoplasma infection can be very harmful. Therefore, women should pay attention to it and take good care of it in order to avoid being harmed.

4. Mycoplasma and chlamydia are often infected at the same time as gonorrhea. Gonorrhea symptoms appear first. After anti-gonococcal treatment, gonococci are killed by penicillin, but chlamydia and mycoplasma still exist. The disease occurs 1-3 weeks after infection. Clinically, it is easy to be mistaken for uncured or recurrent gonorrhea.

Two major "channels" of mycoplasma and chlamydia infection We know that mycoplasma and chlamydia are a kind of sexually transmitted diseases, which make people embarrassed and tortured. There are mainly indirect transmission and direct transmission for mycoplasma and chlamydia infection, but nowadays the chance of indirect transmission is very rare, so sexual contact has become the main "channel" for the transmission of mycoplasma and chlamydia. In addition to sexual contact, what other reasons are there? Let's talk about them one by one:

1. Chlamydia infection: Direct sexual transmission

The reason why sexual promiscuity creates a hotbed for the frequent occurrence of mycoplasma and chlamydia is that sexual intercourse will cause the bacteria on the male and female genitals to enter the uterine cavity through the vaginal opening, breaking the balance of mycoplasma and chlamydia in the human body, causing mycoplasma bacteria to multiply rapidly, and ultimately causing mycoplasma and chlamydia infection. Mycoplasma and chlamydia caused by sexually transmitted diseases are often accompanied by gonorrhea infection or trichomonas and fungal infection. Therefore, it is best to choose drugs that can treat mycoplasma, gonorrhea, fungi, and trichomonas at the same time.

2. Mycoplasma chlamydia infection “Channel 2”: Indirect transmission

Because mycoplasma and chlamydia are highly contagious and difficult to cure, mycoplasma and chlamydia infections are transmitted not only through sexual contact, but also through towels, washbasins, bed sheets, clothes, bathtubs, public toilets, public baths and other transmission channels. Therefore, you must develop good habits in your life and try to avoid going to crowded large hospitals to avoid infection. At the same time, if someone in the family is infected with mycoplasma or chlamydia, all items should be used separately to avoid cross infection.

Treatment of Mycoplasma and Chlamydia Infections The principles of treatment of mycoplasma infections are:

①Early diagnosis and early treatment;

② Timely, adequate and standardized treatment;

③ Different treatment plans are used for different conditions;

④ Treat sexual partners at the same time.

⑤General hospitals use anti-inflammatory drugs or hormone drugs for treatment, but these drugs have serious side effects. It is recommended to use pure Chinese medicine [Miyu Gel + Fubaoning] under the guidance of professionals to treat both the symptoms and the root cause.

Through the above, I believe you have understood the infection channels of mycoplasma and chlamydia. Once men and women are infected with mycoplasma, it will not only endanger themselves, but also affect the health of their families. Therefore, once infected with mycoplasma and chlamydia, they must be treated in time to minimize the harm.

In addition, experts remind that if one of the spouses or sexual partners is suspected of being infected with mycoplasma or chlamydia, both should be examined and treated at the same time. Otherwise, after one of them is cured, the disease will recur due to cross-infection between the spouses. Once a vicious cycle is formed, it will have a great impact on the health of both parties.
