Mycoplasma is a microorganism that causesmycoplasmosis infectious disease. Mycoplasmosis, depending on the pathogen, can be of two types - respiratory and urinary. The causative agent of the respiratory form can be transmitted by airborne droplets, and the diseases that are associated with it usually proceed quite calmly, in the form of a common ARD, but in rare cases mycoplasma can cause more serious diseases, such as pneumonia. The symptoms of the respiratory form of mycoplasmosis include fever, runny nose, inflammation of the tonsils, and if this disease becomes severe, then symptoms typical of pneumonia will appear - chills and general intoxication of the body.
Urinary mycoplasmosis is a more interesting and complex disease. It is transmitted in most cases through sexual intercourse, but a household route of infection is also possible, although this is the exception rather than the rule.
Symptoms of mycoplasma in women:
- Itching and burning
- Lower abdominal pain
- Painful sensation during intercourse
- Pain during urination
- Discharges of unusual color and odor
Symptoms of mycoplasma in men:
- Painful whining character in the groin area
- Enlarged appendage
- Small discharge in the morning
Immediately after infection, mycoplasma does notmanifests, therefore, the first signs of the disease can be observed only after three weeks. In addition, about 40% of people can be carriers of the infection, even without knowing it, because they have mycoplasmosis does not show any symptoms. Nevertheless, it is necessary to understand that a rather serious disease is caused by mycoplasma, the treatment of which is a long and unpleasant process.
Exacerbation of mycoplasmosis can be provoked by such harmful factors as hypothermia, stress, abortion and alcohol.
The first signs of disease in men aremucopurulent discharge, soreness in the urogenital canal, as well as itching in the groin area. Also, quite often there is inflammation of the prostate and epididymis, redness of the scrotum. All these manifestations of men often do not notice, and continue to have sex with his partner, infecting her with an infection.
In women, mycoplasma is in most casesaffects the vagina, urethra, cavity and cervix, the sheath of the fallopian tubes. Also, patients often appear translucent, pale discharge and itching in the vagina and labia. This infection can contribute to inflammation of the endometrium, which leads to a loose attachment of the egg and impaired development of the fetus. In addition, it can have a disastrous effect on the uterus itself and the reproductive functions of the mycoplasma, which has not been treated.
Mycoplasma - treatment
Recently, a lot ofsexually transmitted diseases caused by mycoplasma genitalium. The treatment of this bacterium must be performed with full responsibility and seriousness, because an undertreated infection has every chance to reappear after a short period of time.
The treatment of this disease must undergocomplex and include, as a means of acting directly on the pathogen, and drugs that stimulate the overall resistance of the organism. If you choose the right means, then you can relatively quickly get rid of a pathogen such as mycoplasma. Treatment, drugs which are used for non-specific, it is necessary to carry out especially after the specific. The fact is that with a specific, narrowly targeted treatment, the disease quite often goes into the chronic phase, while practically showing no external symptoms, which can create a false illusion of recovery.
