How to treat mycoplasma urethral infection in men

Male urethral mycoplasma infection is a mycoplasma infection of the urinary and reproductive tracts. The common site of infection is the urethra. The usual causes of male urethral mycoplasma infection are urethritis damage and decreased local immunity, which causes secondary infection. It can generally manifest as urethritis symptoms such as fever, low back pain, and bladder irritation. I believe that for patients, the treatment method is what everyone is most concerned about. Let's learn about how to treat male urethral mycoplasma infection.

In vitro experiments on mycoplasma urinary tract infection have found that β-lactam drugs, vancomycin and bacitracin that inhibit cell wall synthesis are ineffective against MH, while aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol and rifampicin that inhibit protein synthesis have moderate efficacy against mycoplasma. MH and UU are sensitive to tetracycline, and MH is occasionally resistant to tetracycline but sensitive to lincomycin. Commonly used drugs in clinical practice are:

1. Tetracyclines

Tetracycline or doxycycline hydrochloride or minocycline.

2. Other antibiotics

For those who cannot tolerate the above drugs or have poor efficacy, erythromycin or azithromycin can be used, or ofloxacin can be used. The spouse should receive corresponding treatment and repeat the examination one week after the end of the treatment. The cure standard is the disappearance of symptoms, no urethral secretions, and normal white blood cell count in urine sediment smear (<5/high-power field of view).

3. Chinese medicine

After the diagnosis of mycoplasma urinary tract infection, broad-spectrum antibiotics are often used for treatment, such as tetracycline, ofloxacin, roxithromycin, azithromycin, erythromycin, etc. However, due to the emphasis on continuous and uninterrupted medication, although Western medicine takes effect faster, long-term use is prone to drug resistance, damage to human organs, and has alarming side effects. And when bacteria enter the human body, they will produce two substances, endotoxins and exotoxins. Exotoxins are produced by bacteria, while endotoxins are toxins produced by the remains of bacteria in the human body after they are killed. Antibiotics can only kill bacteria, but have no effect on endotoxins. Only by taking effective Chinese medicine together with antibiotics can the toxicity of antibiotics to the human body be effectively reduced, and the effects of clearing heat and detoxification, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria can be better achieved.

The several methods mentioned in the above article on how to treat male urethral mycoplasma infection are relatively commonly used. Patients need to go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible and choose a treatment method that suits them based on their own situation. In addition, they should pay attention to not having sexual intercourse during the treatment period to avoid cross infection. They should also eat light food and drink plenty of water, which is helpful for the treatment of urinary tract infection.
