When a couple is considering having a baby and has been on the road of preparing for pregnancy for a long time without being able to conceive their own baby, is it really urgent? Some female friends who have difficulty conceiving go to the hospital for examination and are told that they are positive for Mycoplasma genitalium. Due to a lack of understanding of gynecological diseases, I don't know what it means to be positive for Mycoplasma genitalium. Now, let's take a look together.
What does it mean to be positive for Mycoplasma genitalium
1. Ureaplasma urealyticum is a vaginal commensal bacterium that can be carried by normal individuals without causing disease. It only becomes pathogenic when the internal environment of the body changes and resistance decreases.
2. Ureaplasma urealyticum can colonize the surface of mucous epithelial cells in the urethra and reproductive tract, and direct contact is the main route of transmission for UU infection. In addition to direct contact transmission, infection can also occur through indirect contact with contaminated clothing. Ureaplasma urealyticum can be transmitted vertically through the placenta or spread upwards from lower reproductive tract infections in pregnant women, causing intrauterine infections. Both can lead to a series of adverse consequences such as miscarriage, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight infants, premature rupture of membranes, and even fetal death in the uterus.
What are the effects of Ureaplasma urealyticum
1. Many foreign scholars have conducted research on unexplained male infertility and found that semen containing UU positive sperm has poor motility, low content, and malformed sperm. After treatment, it greatly improves motility and reduces abnormal sperm. Female infertility: The detection rate of UU in women with unexplained infertility is significantly higher than that in the normal population, suggesting that UU may be a pathogen causing infertility.
2. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the most commonly detected microorganism in the amniotic fluid of premature pregnant women. Pregnant women infected with UU can have a certain impact on pregnancy. The occurrence of UU in the placenta is related to the occurrence of natural miscarriage, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, postpartum fever, etc
3. When the resistance of the female reproductive tract is low, UU lurking in the folds of the cervical mucosa proliferates in large numbers, infecting the mucosa of the cervical canal and leading to uterine myositis, endometritis, salpingo oophoritis, pelvic abscess, and pelvic connective tissue inflammatory diseases.
Ureaplasma urealyticum seriously affects the physical and mental health of women. So it is necessary to remind female friends to pay attention to taking care of their private parts. If you are preparing for pregnancy, be sure to pay attention to post sexual hygiene. Diseases originally did not exist, it is precisely because of laziness that many diseases occur. Don't avoid being sick, actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
