Sexually transmitted infections cause enormous harm to the female body. There are more than a dozen of them today. One of the most common infections is mycoplasmosis. This disease can be asymptomatic until the weakening of the body's immune defenses. Therefore, it is not always possible to ascertain the fact of infection in the early stages of the disease, which leads to serious violations of the functioning of the genitourinary female system.
What is mycoplasma?
It is almost impossible to predict what complications may arise against the background of bacterial reproduction.
The severity of the course of an infectious disease depends on the body's ability to resist microorganisms that violate the microflora of the female genital organs.
Mycoplasmosis in women, moreover, can affect not only the genitourinary system, but also the respiratory organs, provoking acute respiratory infections, pneumonia, and meningitis. Respiratory mycoplasmosis is caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Causes of the disease
The main factor that increases the risk of infection with mycoplasmas is promiscuity. Mycoplasma, getting into the environment, does not survive.
The causes of the disease in women are reduced:
- to frequent change of sexual partners;
- unprotected sexual intercourse;
- oral sex without the use of barrier contraceptives.
Mycoplasma infection is not transmitted household way. Only free intimate relationships contribute to the transfer of bacteria from person to person.
In medical practice, there are two types of mycoplasma infection:
- reactive, when negative processes begin to occur in the female body after two weeks, causing physical discomfort;
- carriage, when microorganisms, entering the body, dilute the microflora of the genital organs or ENT organs, do not increase their colonization and do not cause any physiological changes.
The second type of infection is more dangerous for the female body.
The hidden causative agent of mycoplasmosis makes itself felt when:
- decreased immunity;
- the onset of pregnancy;
- medical abortion;
- the development of associated health problems;
- nervous tension;
- stress;
- hypothermia;
- the onset of menopause.
Symptoms of mycoplasmosis in women
Symptoms of an infectious disease in people, in particular, we are talking about women, can be different.
Urogenital mycoplasma is very pronounced:
- the genitals become inflamed during the development of infection;
- light yellow or gray mucus with an unpleasant odor is released from the vagina;
- pulling pains in the lower back and lower abdomen are possible;
- there is painful urination, burning and itching of the mucous membranes;
- there is physical discomfort during intercourse.
These signs are very similar to the course of less dangerous diseases, such as cystitis, thrush, therefore, without additional laboratory tests, confirmation of the final diagnosis is not possible.
Respiratory mycoplasmosis begins to manifest itself with a runny nose. Against the background of inflammation of the respiratory tract, bronchitis or pneumonia develops, accompanied by fever, fever, nausea and vomiting. A serious condition is inflammation of the brain - meningitis. Mycoplasmosis of ENT organs also requires additional laboratory testing.
Infection Diagnosis
Mycoplasmosis is hidden under the symptoms of other diseases, so a sick woman definitely needs a reliable diagnosis.
Mycoplasma is detected in the body using:
- urine tests;
- blood tests;
- saliva studies;
- studies of smears taken in the vaginal environment;
- study of the secret of the urethra;
- ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, bladder, kidneys;
- IFA and PIF.
A detailed laboratory analysis is reliable in 95% of cases.
How is mycoplasmosis treated?
Treatment of a bacterial infection is mandatory. The lack of competent drug therapy leads to inflammation of the appendages, endometrium, adhesions of the fallopian tubes, complete infertility, urethritis, pneumosclerosis, bronchiectasis.
Due to the fact that mycoplasma in women can have different symptoms, the treatment for each patient is prescribed individually.
The generalizing protocol of therapeutic measures for mycoplasmosis provides for the appointment of:
- antibacterial drugs;
- immunostimulants;
- antimycotic drugs;
- antiseptics;
- vitamins.
Antibiotic therapy is not always characterized by a quick recovery effect. Mycoplasmas are resistant microorganisms to many types of antibiotics, which complicates the fight against them. With positive repeated tests for mycoplasmas, doctors recommend focusing on restoring and strengthening immunity.
Antibiotic therapy
If mycoplasma in women is confirmed by laboratory tests, treatment includes:
- or oral antibiotics;
- or performing injections.
Antibacterial drugs are prescribed based on the type of bacteria found, the age and history of the sick woman.
The table shows antibiotics that are widely used in the treatment of female mycoplasmosis:

Mycoplasmosis infection can be cured in three to four weeks, with bacteria resistant to antibacterial drugs - in a few months.
Immunostimulants
To activate the immune defense of the female body at the cellular level, interferonogens are prescribed for mycoplasmosis. This group includes drugs: "Immunal", "Cycloferon", "Uro-Vaksom", "Imudon", "Likopid", "Pyrogenal".
Antiseptics
Simultaneously with taking medications, doctors recommend that women with genital mycoplasmosis perform regular douching with antiseptics or use vaginal suppositories, capsules or tablets containing antiseptics or antibiotics.
Widely used for mycoplasma:
- suppositories "Betadine", "Iodoxide", "Dafnedzhin";
- tampons with tetracycline or erythromycin ointment;
- vaginal capsules "Vagiflor", "Makmiror", "Terzhinan".
Antifungals
Against the background of taking antibiotics, thrush begins to progress, therefore, along with other drugs, the woman is prescribed antifungal drugs Fluconazole, Futsis.
Eubiotics
This group of drugs contributes during the treatment of mycoplasmosis to the normalization of the functions of the digestive system, which can be adversely affected by antibacterial drugs. So, therapy is supplemented with drugs such as Linex, Lactobacterin, Spazmolak, Laktiale.
Physiotherapy
The effectiveness of treatment is higher if a woman undergoes physiotherapy procedures, such as:
- electrophoresis;
- phonophoresis;
- gynecological massage.
Mycoplasmosis and pregnancy
If the infection in a woman is detected after the conception of a child, it is recommended to treat mycoplasma in the second trimester of pregnancy.
The future woman in labor is assigned:
- macrolide antibiotics;
- immunostimulants;
- eubiotics;
- vitamin complexes.
Prevention of mycoplasmosis
Preventive measures for mycoplasmosis are reduced to:
- avoidance of casual sexual relations;
- regular visits to the gynecologist;
- strengthening immunity;
- the use of barrier contraceptives;
- limiting contact with potential carriers of the infection.
Ureaplasmosis is an infectious disease that may not manifest itself for a long time. Sometimes pathology is detected by chance during a routine examination. If bacteria are found in the tests, treatment is not always required.
Ureaplasma microorganisms can be present even in healthy people. In an acceptable amount, they do not cause concern, there are no symptoms of any kind. Medical treatment ureplasmosis is used to suppress the activity of bacteria and eliminate unpleasant symptoms.
You can start talking about the treatment of pathology only when the bacteria begin to activate, and their number increases. As a result, an inflammatory process begins to develop in the genitourinary system.
The development of the disease begins from the moment the pathogen enters the body. The main route of transmission is sexual. And it doesn’t matter at all what kind of contact was: oral, anal or vaginal. A child can become infected from the mother while still in the womb, as well as at birth at the time of passage through the birth canal.
Infection can occur at the time of surgery, namely, during organ transplantation. Domestic transmission is extremely rare. Important! Infection is more susceptible to those who begin early sexual activity, and also have several sexual partners at once.
The duration of the incubation period is from several days to several months. Pathology can be asymptomatic, there are no discomfort or symptoms.
Symptoms of ureaplasmosis
The first symptoms appear with a decrease in immunity, pregnancy, or the presence of other diseases in the pelvic organs.
Signs characteristic of pathology:
- discharge from the vagina of a transparent color, odorless, with inflammation, the shade becomes yellow or green;
- pain in the lower part of the abdomen in the form of pain;
- burning sensation and pain when urinating;
- pain during and after intercourse;
- if the infection occurred during oral sex, then swelling, pain, plaque appear on the tonsils;
- when infected by the anal route from the rectum, discharge in the form of mucus, there is a burning sensation and itching.
Symptoms are similar to many other diseases that are also transmitted through sexual contact. In order to accurately diagnose the patient must undergo an examination.
Tests for ureaplasma
Ureaplasmosis is a disease that is difficult to diagnose. The thing is that pathogens can also be present in the body of a healthy person, being a full-fledged component of the microbiological environment.
If you suspect the development of the disease, the examination is carried out by a gynecologist or urologist. You should examine the genitals, take a smear. Blood and urine are taken for general analysis. Bacteriological culture allows you to identify the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics.
Important! The most accurate diagnostic method that allows you to identify ureaplasmosis is sowing on ureaplasma. It is possible to determine not only the presence of bacteria, but also their number.
What is dangerous disease
For the treatment of the disease, it is important to choose the right course of treatment, therapeutic measures should prevent the development of a chronic form. Pathology in chronic form characterized not only by the symptoms listed above, there may also be signs of intoxication of the body. Perhaps an increase in body temperature, nausea and vomiting appear.
Particular attention should be paid to the treatment of the disease before and after pregnancy. The thing is that the disease can cause miscarriage or premature birth. A born child may lag behind in development from their peers.
In women, ureaplasmosis can provoke the formation of adhesive processes in the uterus and its appendages. In the future, the likelihood of infertility increases.
A chronic disease that is not fully cured can cause the following complications:
- vesiculitis;
- cystitis and colpitis;
- cervicitis and pyelonephritis;
- urolithiasis disease.
The video in this article goes into more detail about the complications that can occur.
Types of infection
Treatment methods depend on what type of pathogen is attacking. That is why it is important to determine which species has entered the body, in what quantity it is.
To date, 3 types of ureaplasmas can be distinguished:
- Parvum is a class of mycoplasmas. Bacteria live in the vagina, as well as on the mucous membranes. The presence of microorganisms of this type is not yet an indication for treatment. If immunity is normal, then they do not attack. Otherwise, an inflammatory process develops, adhesions form in the fallopian tubes and, as a result, infertility.
- Urealitikum- lives exactly in the same place as the bacteria described above. Their presence in the analyzes is also not an indication for starting therapy.
- Spetsies is a collection of microorganisms described above. It can live both in the vagina and on the mucous membranes.
It is possible to determine which type of bacteria in the body only by the results of the tests.
Treatment regimens and their need
Since ureaplasmas can be found in the body of a healthy person, their detection in the analyzes does not yet indicate that some kind of disease is developing. However, if the immune system begins to decline, there is a failure in the hormonal background, the bacteria begin to multiply rapidly.
In this case, it is necessary to start treatment, otherwise serious consequences may occur.
Important! A specialist can select methods of treatment, for each patient it is individual.
Treatment regimens and methods of fighting infection can be different, and all due to the fact that ureaplasmosis can provoke different types bacteria.
Other factors may also influence the choice of drugs:
- the state of immunity and general health;
- how pathogenic microorganisms are susceptible to bacteria;
- whether any other comorbidities develop.
In order for the result of therapy to be effective, it must be comprehensive and include the following:
- taking medications;
- physiotherapy procedures;
- alternative methods of treatment, can only be used with the permission of a doctor;
- proper nutrition;
- other methods of treatment.
Treatment will be successful only if the patient takes into account and fulfills all the recommendations of the attending physician.
Important! Both partners must undergo treatment, otherwise the infection may be repeated.
Medications for treatment
Medicines are the basis of treatment. We will consider commonly prescribed medications below.
Treatment with Terzhinan
Terzhinan with ureaplasmosis is prescribed most often. The drug is produced in the form of tablets, the shape is round, administered intravaginally. Contains antibiotics. It appears to have antifungal and antiprotozoal activity.
Additional components included in the composition restore the acid balance of the vagina, in addition to protect the mucosal epithelium. After the treatment, you can get rid of not only ureaplasmosis, but also other sexually transmitted infections.
Contraindications include individual intolerance to the components included in the composition. Also, you can not use tablets for administration in the first and last trimester of pregnancy.
On the days of menstruation, therapy is allowed to continue, since the substances will act even in the presence of blood. In rare cases, after the introduction of the tablets, itching and a slight burning sensation appear, but after a few days everything goes away.
Treatment with Ornidazole
The drug belongs to antibiotics. It is forbidden to use for self-treatment, since improper use can worsen the patient's condition. Use for the treatment of children, pregnant women, as well as people suffering from multiple sclerosis, is prohibited.
Ornidazole with ureaplasmosis should be taken after a meal, the tablet is washed down with a glass of water. Under no circumstances should it be chewed. More precise instructions are issued by the doctor. The dosage, duration of the course of treatment and the frequency of taking the tablets are determined by the doctor individually for each patient.
Not only women, but also men can undergo treatment with the drug, there are no contraindications for this.
Treatment with Polyoxidonium
Polyoxidonium with ureaplasmosis helps quite well. Candles raise immunity, eliminate other sexually transmitted infections. It can be administered both rectally and vaginally.
The main advantage is the stimulation of new antibodies, as well as an increase in the effectiveness of antibiotics. The course of treatment is determined individually for each patient.
Betadine for the treatment of the disease
The drug has disinfectant and antiseptic properties. The action of the drug begins only after the drug interacts with the mucous membrane. Iodine, which is part of the composition, provokes the death of bacteria, as well as numerous pathogenic microorganisms.
Betadine with ureaplasmosis is used for seven days, one candle is administered twice a day. The course of treatment can be extended, but at the discretion of the attending physician.
In the photo you can see what the drug looks like.
Contraindications to the use of the drug may be the following:
- intolerance to the main active substance;
- newborn children;
- the thyroid gland is enlarged;
- thyroid adenoma.
An allergic reaction may occur in the form of a rash on the body, itching, pain, and so on.
Macmirror treatment
McMiror with ureaplasmosis in recent times became more and more frequent. This is an antibacterial drug. However, the downside is that, unlike other drugs side effects can be expressed much more strongly: vomiting, diarrhea, discomfort in the mouth, and so on.
The duration of the course of treatment depends on many factors. In most cases, it is required to take 3 tablets per day for one week. For the entire period of treatment should refrain from sexual intercourse. At the discretion of the attending physician, the duration of therapy may be increased.
Other treatments
In some cases, physiotherapy methods can be used to treat ureaplasmosis. Their expediency is determined by the doctor. The procedures help to improve overall well-being, the immune system becomes stronger, the functioning of organs and systems improves.
The most commonly prescribed procedures are:
- Magnetotherapy – special drug works on problem areas. Thanks to magnetic fields you can also enter some medications to the foci of inflammation.
- laser therapy. Low-intensity laser radiation has an anti-inflammatory effect, improves immunity, as well as blood microcirculation.
- Ozone therapy. Long known healing properties such a procedure. When applied externally, ozone has a bactericidal effect.
- electrophoresis- effective in chronic diseases. It has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. You can enter all antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.
The course of treatment is determined individually.
Prevention
Preventive measures are identical to those that protect against other sexually transmitted diseases.
So, you should adhere to the following rules:
- exclude casual sex;
- when engaging in sexual contact with new partners, contraceptives should be used, namely, condoms;
- if unprotected sex has occurred, then after it it is recommended to use antiseptics, for example, Miramistin;
- if you experience suspicious symptoms, you should seek help from a hospital;
- good prevention against the development of many infectious diseases - maintaining immunity in good shape;
- follow the rules of personal hygiene.
If all preventive measures were observed, but infection nevertheless occurred, self-treatment should not be allowed. Despite the knowledge of what is prescribed for ureaplasma, a doctor should prescribe drugs.
Frequently asked questions to the doctor
Appropriateness of treatment
Good afternoon, I would like to know for what purpose it is necessary to treat the disease?
The main goal of therapy is to reduce the number of bacteria to an acceptable value. Due to this, it will be possible to get rid of the symptoms that appear, as well as other diseases that began to develop against the background of bacteria.
Among the tested drugs are immunomodulators, antibiotics, and antiseptics. They have proven their effectiveness, most often they are included in the general therapeutic program for the treatment of ureaplasmosis.
What are the benefits of suppositories in the treatment of ureaplasmosis in women?
Exists whole line favorable factors that can lead to the appearance of ureaplasma in women. These include unprotected unverified sexual intercourse, the use of other people's hygiene products, direct contact with carriers, intrauterine infection of the fetus. Long years the disease can peacefully doze in the body, and become more active after a long intake of antibiotics, during pregnancy, with radiation and malnutrition.
You can identify the disease after certain laboratory tests of a smear or blood. And if the diagnosis is confirmed, you should not wait for the development of the disease, but contact your doctor to prescribe adequate treatment. Often, suppositories for the treatment of ureaplasma in women are also included in the complex program.
They allow you to prevent the aggravation of the situation and the development of the disease, which can manifest itself in such complications:
- cystite,
- joint damage,
- Spikes in the pelvis
- infertility.
If the infection was detected already during pregnancy, treatment should be carried out immediately. Otherwise, ureaplasmosis can pose a serious threat to the fetus. However, often the doctor prescribes antibiotics only for 22 weeks of pregnancy, the doctor will decide whether to include candles in a comprehensive treatment program. Treatment will be carried out in a hospital under the supervision of doctors.
Benefits of suppositories over medicines
- Convenient to use;
- Can be used at home;
- Demonstrate a quick effect;
