Mycoplasma m genitalium. Mycoplasmosis in men (mycoplasma genitalium)

Mycoplasma genitalium is a pathogen whose vital activity leads to the development of urogenital mycoplasmosis and other pathologies of the reproductive system. It is resistant to many antibacterial drugs and difficult to diagnose. For successful treatment the problem needs to be identified as early as possible.

What is

Mycoplasma genitalium lives on the mucous surface of the genitourinary organs of every person. Under certain conditions, the microorganism begins to actively multiply, which leads to the development of the disease.

In its structure, mycoplasma genitalium is more like a bacterium, but in size and lack of a cell wall, it equates to viruses. Occupies an intermediate position between bacteria and viruses.

Active reproduction of microorganisms leads to the fact that they begin to destroy the epithelium of the organs of the genitourinary system. The inflammatory process starts. This leads to thinning of the epithelium, a decrease in the protective functions of the body, as well as an increase in the likelihood of developing serious pathologies.

Outside the body of the host, the mycoplasma genitalium cannot live, therefore, it can become infected household way almost impossible.

Unlike Mycoplasma hominis, this type of microorganisms is characterized by increased pathogenicity. To his other distinctive features include:

  • After its active reproduction, the inflammatory process starts.
  • It lacks genetic information.
  • Leads to a significant decrease in immunity. AT severe cases HIV develops.
  • Suppresses the activity of spermatozoa, which can lead to male infertility.

The microorganism poses a serious threat to human health. You should always remember the ways of infection and try to avoid dangerous situations.

Ways of infection

The most likely route of infection is sexual contact with a sick partner. Moreover, the microorganism is transmitted not only through vaginal, but also through anal contact. Transmission of the pathogen can also occur when using various accessories for erotic games.

Children can also become infected with mycoplasma genitalium. This occurs when the fetus passes through the birth canal of the mother. This phenomenon is called perinatal mycoplasmosis. It leads to problems with the immune system, causes respiratory failure and impairs brain function.

The likelihood of infection increases several times in people suffering from the following problems:

  • Reduced immunity.
  • Stress.
  • Chlamydia.
  • Bacterial vaginosis.

Pregnant women are also at risk. During the waiting period for the baby, the hormonal background changes, which reduces the body's resistance. This can exacerbate all chronic diseases.

Symptoms

The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the greater the chance of a quick cure without health consequences. Symptoms of mycoplasma genitalia in men and women are different. At first, the disease can proceed without manifesting itself.

The main symptoms in women include:

  • Bleeding after intercourse or between periods.
  • Burning sensation during urination.
  • The appearance of discharge from the vagina, which has never been before. They don't have a smell.
  • Pain in the lower abdomen during intercourse. Sometimes the pain can radiate to the lower back.
  • During a gynecological examination, inflammation of the cervix is ​​​​detected.
  • Swelling of the labia. In some cases, they become irritated.
  • Violation of the menstrual cycle.

Representatives of the stronger sex rarely act as a carrier of a microorganism. Symptoms of mycoplasma genitalia in men are as follows:

  • Swelling and redness in the region of the urethral opening.
  • Unpleasant discharge with an unpleasant odor appears.
  • Frequent urge to urinate.
  • Pain and cramps in the groin. They can give to the scrotum or lower back.
  • Decreased fertility.
  • There are problems with erection.

Symptoms in men appear earlier and are more pronounced. If the problem is not treated in time, infertility can develop.

In newborns, the disease manifests itself in itching of the genitals, pain in the lower abdomen, as well as the appearance of mild discharge.

Establishing diagnosis

As soon as you notice the first symptoms of the disease, immediately consult a doctor. Only timely diagnosis will help prevent the development of complications. To make an accurate diagnosis, you will need to take a blood test or a smear from the genitals.

The following studies help to identify the disease:

  • Bacterial culture. The selected sample is placed in a special nutrient medium. After some time, the mycoplasma genitalium begins to actively multiply. It becomes clearly visible under a microscope. The number of microorganisms plays a key role. If more than 10,000 CFU / ml are detected, then treatment should be started immediately. AT recent times this technique is rarely used. This is due to the complexity and duration of the analysis. As a result, valuable time will be lost and treatment will be more difficult.
  • Serological study. Allows you to detect the presence of antibodies to mycoplasma in a blood sample. The sample taken from the patient is examined for indirect hemagglutination and compliment binding.
  • Linked immunosorbent assay. The study reveals the presence of immunoglobulins M and G in the blood. If the presence of IgM antibodies is detected, it is concluded that acute course diseases. The presence of IgG antibodies (qual.) indicates chronic form illness. Availability IgA antibodies indicates that the infection occurred relatively recently. The accuracy of this analysis reaches 80%. An unreliable result in the remaining 20% ​​of cases is due to the presence in human blood of antibodies that have been developed as a result of a previous disease.
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Using this technique, it is possible to detect the DNA of the genitalium mycoplasma in the test sample. However, it is easily distinguished from another kind of infection. Experts cannot use this method to calculate the exact number of microorganisms and draw a conclusion about the severity of the disease. For PCR, a scraping from the genitals is used. This technique allows you to determine the disease even if it is asymptomatic. It is possible to carry out a polymerase chain reaction within two days, which allows you to immediately begin treatment. In some cases, the result of the study is false. This is possible after taking antibacterial drugs for a month before the analysis. It is also impossible to determine whether the microorganisms in the sample are alive or dead. A false result can also be obtained if the rules for taking a smear or the research technology are violated. Two hours before taking a smear, the patient should refrain from urinating.
  • Direct immunofluorescence. This is a study in which the test sample is stained with monoclonal fluorochrome-labeled antibodies. If mycoplasma genitalium is present in the sample, it will begin to fluoresce. It can be easily seen under a microscope.

How dangerous diseases can provoke mycoplasmas?

Such techniques allow the specialist to identify the presence of the pathogen and make an accurate diagnosis. The choice of a specific method of research is carried out by a doctor.

Even if there are no symptoms, testing for mycoplasma genitalia is recommended for people suffering from diseases of the genitourinary system, pregnant women, couples planning to have a baby, HIV-infected.

Basic therapeutic methods

The key to successful therapy will be taking medications.

Genital mycoplasmosis should be treated with the following medications:

How long should the course of treatment last and specific drugs should be prescribed by the attending physician. The dosage prescribed by him cannot be exceeded. Self-medication in such a situation is dangerous for your health.

When infected with mycoplasma, the genitals should be treated with physiotherapy. The most effective of these is the use of a laser. With its help, the inflammatory process is eliminated, microorganisms are killed, discomfort is removed. The laser beam is directed directly to the urethra and adjacent tissues.

diet therapy

Taking pills is not enough. It is also necessary to comply proper diet nutrition. Against the background of a diet, treatment will be more effective.

  • From the menu you need to exclude all fatty and fried foods. Smoked meats and pickles are strictly prohibited.
  • Try to eat more vegetables and fruits. vegetable dishes can be stewed or steamed.
  • Drink dairy products. Give preference natural yogurt, acidophilus or kefir.
  • Follows drinking regimen. Drink at least two liters of clean water per day.
  • To restore normal intestinal microflora after antibiotic therapy, introduce sauerkraut into the diet.
  • The use of pumpkin seeds, bran, greens has a positive effect on the state of the body.
  • Alcoholic beverages, including beer, are strictly prohibited.
  • Once a week it is useful to arrange fasting days in which you can completely starve or reduce the amount of food eaten to a minimum.

With the observance of such a diet, a genital infection will soon recede. You will soon be able to return to your normal lifestyle.

Folk methods of treatment

You can also get rid of mycoplasma genitalium with the help of traditional medicine.

Among the most effective recipes are:

  • Mix two parts of dried St. John's wort with four parts of meadowsweet. Steam three tablespoons of this collection with 600 ml of boiling water. Boil for five minutes. After the broth has cooled, it must be filtered. Take a glass half an hour before meals three times a day.
  • Mix equal amounts of chamomile flowers and St. John's wort. Pour a spoonful of the prepared mixture with a glass of boiling water. After 15 minutes, the infusion is ready for use. Drink it three times a day, one glass. For men, the duration of such treatment should not exceed 10 days, since St. John's wort can adversely affect potency.
  • Prepare a collection of immortelle, knotweed and birch leaves, taken in the amount of three tablespoons. Add two tablespoons each of bearberry and psyllium. Pour two tablespoons of the prepared composition with 400 ml of water. Leave to infuse all night. In the morning, boil the composition for 5 minutes. Such a remedy should be consumed in half a glass 4 times a day.
  • Garlic will help to cope with the disease faster. To do this, it is enough just to eat it. Add it to dishes or sauces. It is enough to eat two or three cloves per day.
  • Prepare a decoction of boron uterus and oak bark. They are mixed in equal amounts. Two tablespoons of the mixture pour 400 ml of boiling water. After 20 minutes, the infusion is ready for use. With it, it is necessary to wash the vagina or penis. For the same purposes, you can use decoctions of chamomile, St. John's wort, calendula or horsetail.
  • In equal proportions, mix cornflower, chamomile, St. John's wort and corn stigmas. Steam a spoonful of the prepared mixture with 300 ml of boiling water. After an hour, the composition can be filtered. It is necessary to take such a decoction in the amount of a glass three times a day.
  • To three tablespoons of black elderberry bark, add two tablespoons of St. John's wort and four tablespoons of elderberry root. Pour this collection with a liter of water and boil for 15 minutes. Leave for about an hour. After that, the broth will only need to be filtered and it is ready for use. It is necessary to drink the prepared amount of the remedy per day in equal parts.
  • Steam two tablespoons of cornflower flowers in a glass of boiling water. Let it brew for about an hour. It is best to steam the medicine in a glass container. Divide the prepared broth into three equal parts and drink during the day.

Sores in the mouth, a bad smell from it, insufficiently careful care of the teeth and bleeding gums indicate a lack of concern for one's own health. This unpleasant bouquet causes hostility even at the thought that someone will have to kiss a person with these symptoms. Relations with people who have mycoplasmosis cause even greater fear in people. A completely logical question immediately arises, is the mycoplasma transmitted through a kiss. Although they say that you can get this disease only through sexual contact, you should find out everything in advance so as not to risk your own health.

In addition to affection, emotions and warmth during a kiss, people involuntarily exchange saliva, which is present on the mucous membranes in the mouth. How many microbes live here! It is known that caries is transmitted through kissing, because there are staphylococci in saliva that cause it. Many viruses found in dental plaque cause gingivitis, which is also transmitted by mutual kissing with abundant saliva. Also herpes, laryngitis, mononucleosis spread through passionate kissing. There are cases of transmission of urethritis and gonorrhea in the absence of sexual intercourse, when partners exchange only hot kisses. However, scientists and physicians who conducted examinations of the oral cavity did not find the Mycoplasma virus genitalium. So maybe the answer to the question for the most curious has already been received, whether mycoplasma is transmitted from partner to partner through a kiss.

The answer is almost obvious. All physicians unanimously report that mycoplasma is not transmitted through a kiss, if the genitals are not affected. It has been proven that oral sex is one of the ways of transmission of mycoplasmosis.

To avoid mycoplasmosis, it is worth monitoring oral hygiene. Remember that kissing with people who have mouth ulcers is also dangerous, because it promotes the infection of partners. If not mycoplasma, then candidiasis or influenza can be caught in those few minutes of pleasure. Mouthwash will greatly reduce these risks and reduce the possibility of transmission of many diseases. Although the chance of catching mycoplasma through a kiss is negligible, kissing patients with mycoplasmosis is not worth it.

Positive mycoplasma
Most often, taking tests for certain diseases, most of all people are afraid of a positive result. This is due to misunderstanding...

The main thing you need to know about this pathogen - unlike, the genitalium always or almost always causes diseases and, accordingly, when it is detected always need to be treated.

Mycoplasma genitalium was discovered much later than others. If the hominis species was discovered in cows at the end of the 19th century, then M. genitalium was first identified only in 1980 in a man with urethritis of unknown origin. Compared to other species, it has a number of features:

  • higher pathogenicity;
  • less common;
  • almost always causes an inflammatory process in the body;
  • contains less genetic information, which is why it practically does not grow on culture media;
  • reduces local immunity of the genitourinary system, increasing the risk of HIV infection;
  • can damage and reduce sperm motility, reducing the likelihood of conception.

Unlike Mycoplasma hominis, which is often present in the urethra and cervical canal without any symptoms, Mycoplasma genitalium is pathogenic in almost 100% of cases (that is, it causes disease, namely).

Transfer Methods

Although urogenital mycoplasmosis is not a true venereal infection, M. genitalium.

It is possible (although extremely unlikely) to become infected through the household route through a common towel or linen.

It can also pass from pregnant to fetus through the placenta or during childbirth. Then the newborn develops various diseases and unlike hominis, there can be dire consequences.

Is it possible to cure mycoplasma genitalium?

Of course yes. The main thing is not to pull and not to engage in "quackery". Treatment regimens have long been developed, read about them below.

Despite its very small size, this microorganism shows good resistance to some antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins).

Untreated mycoplasmosis can be the cause of many diseases:

  • Cystitis, pyelonephritis. The infection spreads to bladder, kidneys causing them to become inflamed. Most often occurs in women, but such complications are possible in men;
  • Prostatitis. Men should not delay the treatment of mycoplasmosis, since mycoplasma DNA is almost always found in patients with prostatitis;
  • Infertility. Mycoplasmosis leads to female infertility by affecting the ovaries. Adhesions appear in the fallopian tubes, which prevents the penetration of sperm into the egg. In men, sperm activity decreases;
  • Complications in the first trimester lead to miscarriage, and in later periods to developmental problems, fetal diseases, and even death;
  • Endometritis. Once in the uterus, Mycoplasma infects its endometrium, which leads to its inflammation and the inability to adhere to the egg.

Diagnostics

Mycoplasma genitalia found

After sexually transmitted infection, no symptoms are disturbed for 1-3 weeks, this is the incubation period.

Then there are unpleasant sensations in the form of itching and burning during urination.

There may be mucous discharge from the genitals, discomfort during intercourse.

In men, mycoplasmosis proceeds according to the type of urethritis (inflammation of the urethra).

In women, it is accompanied by signs of vaginitis (itching and discomfort in the vagina).

At the moment, sexually transmitted infections are becoming more common due to the promiscuity of the population.

European (2001) and American (2006) guidelines for the management of patients with urethritis contain recommendations according to which basic and alternative treatment regimens should be carried out.

Basic schemes:

  • azithromycin - 1.0 g orally, once;
  • doxycycline - 100 mg 2 times a day for 7 days.

Alternative schemes:

  • erythromycin - 500 mg 4 times a day for 7 days or 500 mg 2 times a day for 14 days;
  • ofloxacin - 200 mg 2 times a day, or 400 mg 1 time per day, or 300 mg 2 times a day for 7 days;
  • levofloxacin - 500 mg once a day for 7 days;
  • tetracycline - 500 mg 4 times a day for 7 days.

The microorganism provokes a pathological condition, which is defined as mycoplasmosis. However, this is only a provisional name, after diagnosis, a more specific diagnosis is made: urethritis, vulvovaginitis, etc. Mycoplasma is the cause of the development of inflammation in various organs of the genitourinary system. When a pathogen is detected on the mucous membranes, they speak of the development of mycoplasmosis, as a general pathological condition of the body when infected with such microorganisms.

This form of mycoplasmosis is defined as carriage. The causes of inflammation are a decrease in immunity, the addition of other harmful microorganisms and the creation of favorable conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic flora. In women, mycoplasma affects the epithelium of the mucous membranes of the genitourinary organs, the sperm membrane.

If you are interested in how this pathogen is transmitted, you should know that the source is always an asymptomatic carrier. Ways of contracting a genital infection:

  • the pathogen enters the body during sexual intercourse;
  • vertically - from mother to child during childbirth or.

Symptoms in women

Symptoms of mycoplasmosis in men

Against the background of damage to the genital organs by mycoplasma, the following diseases develop:

Diagnostics

Given that there is no diagnosis of mycoplasmosis as such, and the pathology is manifested by inflammation of the genital and urinary tract, a gynecologist / urologist should be consulted. Moreover, it is advisable for women to be examined by both doctors, since the disease can cover the urethra, vagina, uterus. To make a diagnosis, an external examination of the genital organs should be performed. Women are advised to undergo a colposcopy to assess the condition of the cervix.

Biomaterial for research: urogenital, rectal swab, ejaculate (for men), the first portion of morning urine. Evaluation of microflora by smear and urinalysis are auxiliary research methods by which it is possible to determine the intensity of the developing inflammatory process. The polymerase method is used to identify the pathogen. chain reaction(PCR).

PCR allows you to determine the DNA of mycoplasma in the biomaterial, to evaluate its quantitative component. Differential diagnostics are also carried out, for which microscopic and bacteriological studies of the biomaterial are prescribed. Based on the results, the presence of harmful microorganisms that have joined the main infection (mycoplasma) is determined: fungi, Trichomonas, etc.

Medical measures

Despite the inability to confirm the presence of mycoplasma in the urogenital smear and, taking into account the results, prescribe the appropriate medicine, it is still recommended when infected with such a pathogen. The choice of drug is made on the basis of medical history. The doctor usually prescribes antibiotics that have not previously been used against other bacterial and fungal infections. This measure reduces the risk of mycoplasma resistance to the active ingredient of the drug.

Antibiotics are taken orally. It is recommended to treat the disease with broad-spectrum agents, which will also affect other pathogens if secondary infection occurs against the background of mycoplasma infection. In the case when it is not possible to find the right medicine, the doctor prescribes several antibiotics of different types. Considering that the main factor contributing to the onset of the development of mycoplasma is reduced immunity, it is recommended to do everything possible to increase the protective functions of the body.

Key measures: reception vitamin complexes, as well as preparations containing human interferon. Immunostimulation is carried out with caution, since such drugs are contraindicated in a number of autoimmune diseases. For this reason, immunostimulants are prescribed only by a doctor; they cannot be taken on their own.

Along with taking drugs of general action, mycoplasma genitalium is treated with external agents. Solutions for douching, suppositories with antibacterial effect are recommended. Such drugs cannot act as the main therapeutic measure, since they are characterized by more weak action than preparations in the form of tablets and capsules.

After antibiotic therapy, it is recommended to take products containing beneficial microorganisms: lacto-, bifidobacteria. They help to suppress the growth of infection activity, as they eliminate the imbalance of the microflora of the affected organs. As a result, local immunity increases, which allows you to remove the consequences of the pathological condition provoked by mycoplasma. If, as a result of the development of inflammation in the organs of the genitourinary system, redness appears at the entrance to the vagina, in the urethra, topical agents with a calming effect can be used.

Effects

If you become infected with mycoplasma, the consequences can be very serious:

  1. Infertility in women. This pathological condition is due to developing inflammation in the uterus and tubes. As a result, the clearance decreases. The egg cannot reach the uterus, and therefore the sperm cannot reach the egg. Even if fertilization occurs, the development of an egg in a uterus with inflamed mucous membranes becomes impossible.
  2. Infertility in men is a consequence of the defeat of spermatozoa, the development of inflammation of the prostate. These factors in combination significantly reduce, and often exclude, the likelihood of successful fertilization of the egg.
  3. Impotence. The pathological condition develops due to damage to the prostate, testicles. At the same time, painful sensations reach a peak, and libido additionally decreases. As a result, sexual intercourse becomes impossible in this state.
  4. miscarriage on early dates pregnancy or fetal fading in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Such a complication develops against the background of endometritis, when the inflammatory process covers the mucous membranes of the uterus. But it is known that it is the endometrium that is the nutrient medium for the developing fetus.
  5. Autoimmune diseases. In this pathological condition, immune cells actively fight against the tissues of their own body.

Considering high level pathogenicity of mycoplasma, at the first signs of a genitourinary infection, you should consult a doctor.

Mycoplasma are microbes that live in the human body, and when favorable conditions occur, they cause the disease mycoplasmosis. The microbe is transmitted from person to person during intercourse and can provoke the development of serious pathologies of the genitourinary system.

Diagnosing mycoplasma is quite difficult because of its meager size; conventional light microscopy in this case cannot cope, therefore, special studies are used to detect infection.

What is mycoplasma genitalium

There are many varieties of these microorganisms, and all of them can live in human body without causing harm. They are present in the microflora of the urethra and are considered the norm until their population begins to actively increase. This happens when the protective functions of the body are reduced under the influence of various factors.

There are two types of opportunistic pathogens:

  • mycoplasma hominis;
  • mycoplasma genitalium.

Mycoplasma genitalium poses the greatest danger, penetrating into the cells of the body, it begins active reproduction and can not only infect, but also contribute to the development of various diseases. Until the end of the twentieth century, this microorganism was not discovered, and the etiology of some diseases remained unknown.

Ways of infection


The main mode of infection is through unprotected sexual contact.

But other ways are allowed:

  • domestic;
  • vertical.

It is possible to become infected with mycoplasma during any kind of sexual intercourse, both genital and oral or anal. Another way of infection is possible - vertical, during childbirth. An infant, passing through the birth canal of the mother, can become infected with mycoplasma, especially female infants.

Symptoms in women and men

Urogenital mycoplasmosis has different symptoms in men and women. This is due to the peculiarity of the structure of the genital organs.

Signs of mycoplasmosis in women


Mycoplasma genitalium causes the following symptoms in women:

  • Vaginal discharge, which is often neglected due to its scarcity. They may be present intermittently, have a yellowish color, and are usually odorless. The presence of odor characterizes the inflammatory process or the addition of another infection.
  • Pain in the lower abdomen occurs when the urethra and the entire genitourinary system are affected. Pain and burning in the urethra appear at the time of urination, discomfort may occur during intercourse. Pain can radiate to the lumbar region, especially if the inflammatory process has spread to the kidneys.
  • Mycoplasma also affects the external genitalia, causing swelling and irritation of the mucous membranes. Redness may be observed on the labia, and itching may be felt in the perineum.
  • Often genital mycoplasmosis causes the development bacterial vaginosis. In this case, the discharge becomes purulent, gray-green in color and has an unpleasant smell of rotten fish. In severe cases, the temperature may rise and swelling of the external genitalia may develop.
  • In many women, due to the inflammatory process, the menstrual cycle is disrupted, which is expressed in delayed menstruation or heavy bleeding.

Symptoms can be supplemented by other manifestations of the disease if another infection, trichomonas or chlamydia, joins the mycoplasma.

The female body in rare cases reacts sharply to the infection, the disease often has an asymptomatic course, which increases the risk of complications and makes treatment difficult.

If mycoplasmosis is detected during pregnancy, the risk of the following pathologies increases:

  • spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy;
  • premature birth;
  • infection of the infant with mycoplasma during childbirth.

In the antenatal clinic, a smear test for mycoplasma genitalia is mandatory for all pregnant women. With a positive result, treatment is started immediately, this is necessary to minimize the risks that threaten the child.

Signs of mycoplasmosis in men


The incubation period for men is from 2 days to 1 month, it depends on the general state of health, immune system person, age and living conditions. In men, there is practically no latent form of mycoplasmosis, so they are rarely carriers of the infection.

Mycoplasma genitalium in men most often manifests itself in the form of urethritis and has a set of corresponding symptoms:

Diagnostics


Sowing from the urethra is considered an uninformative diagnostic method, therefore, other methods are used:

A woman's smear, unlike a man's, contains more microbes, although both sexes are equally infected.

For a more accurate diagnosis, a study of both a smear and blood is used. A swab is taken not only from the urethra, but also from the cervical canal, as well as the walls of the vagina.

Before submitting material for laboratory research on mycoplasma, a number of requirements must be met:

  • A week before the smear, you should stop taking antibiotics and use vaginal suppositories.
  • If blood sampling is to be done, it is necessary to do it on an empty stomach, do not drink coffee and do not smoke.
  • Before taking a smear, it is not recommended to use antibacterial hygiene products.
  • Before taking the biomaterial from the urethra, you can not urinate for two hours.

If mycoplasma is detected, treatment should be prescribed by a doctor, unauthorized prescribing of drugs is unacceptable, this can cause resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics.

Treatment of mycoplasmosis


It is necessary to treat mycoplasma genitalium with antibiotics, at the same time, treatment should be comprehensive and include several types of therapy:

  1. Antibiotics should be selected on the basis of diagnostic tests and the individual characteristics of the patient. If there is an attached infection, a drug is needed that will be active against all microbes. In cases where such a medicine cannot be used, two antibacterial agents are prescribed. If the patient has not previously used tetracycline antibiotics, they can be used for treatment. But most often they are prescribed.
  2. To increase the body's resistance, general strengthening agents are used to increase immunity. It can be various vitamin complexes.
  3. To restore the intestinal and vaginal microflora probiotics are needed. Can be used for this purpose fermented milk drinks with lactobacilli.
  4. Local therapy is also used. Women put tampons with antibacterial ointment, vaginal suppositories, use therapeutic baths and douching. For men - rectal suppositories, enemas with antimicrobial drugs, baths for the external genital organs.
  5. Additionally, antifungal drugs are prescribed - Nystatin, Fluconazole, Metronidazole.
  6. Modern medicine has such a method of treatment as laser therapy. This is a local destruction of pathogenic microflora, which caused an inflammatory process in the genitals. The laser beam is directed to the urethra and the lesions to relieve inflammation, improve blood circulation and relieve pain.
  7. At the time of treatment, the patient should adhere to the regimen of sleep and rest, exclude bad habits follow a dietary diet.
  8. As home remedies, you can make baths and douches from decoctions and infusions. medicinal herbs- calendula, chamomile, St. John's wort. They promote healing, relieve inflammation and have an antiseptic effect. Before use folk methods treatment should be consulted with a doctor.

An infection in the body cannot be left untreated, this can lead to irreversible consequences. It is extremely rare that a person can be a carrier of an infection, infecting sexual partners, while he himself does not experience any symptoms.


To prevent mycoplasmosis, a number of conditions must be met:

  • use barrier means of protection during sexual intercourse;
  • avoid casual sexual contact;
  • conduct an annual examination in the clinic;
  • observe intimate hygiene;
  • strengthen immunity;
  • lead healthy lifestyle life.

If one of the sexual partners falls ill, the treatment must be mutual.
