Mycoplasma is a common pathogenic bacterium that exists in small amounts in the human body. Generally, Mycoplasma can be detected as positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum in the vagina of women. Does being positive for Mycoplasma have any impact on pregnancy?
If a female is positive for Mycoplasma, it is necessary to determine whether it will affect pregnancy based on her physical condition. If it is a simple Mycoplasma positive without any clinical symptoms, this situation may be asymptomatic Mycoplasma positive and generally will not affect pregnancy. Temporary observation is sufficient. If mycoplasma is positive and there are signs of infection, such as symptoms of vaginitis, treatment is needed, and drug sensitivity testing is generally recommended.
If it is in the early stages of pregnancy, this disease may have an impact on the fetus, while in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the various organs of the fetus have already developed well, so the impact is not significant. After being infected with Mycoplasma, some women may not have obvious symptoms, while others may experience frequent urination, painful urination, urethral itching, and difficulty urinating. Some patients may also present with symptoms of salpingitis and purulent discharge from the vagina.
Infection with Mycoplasma may cause thick cervical secretions that hinder sperm penetration, and the infection can spread to the cervix, uterine cavity, and fallopian tubes, leading to adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes, which can easily lead to infertility. So once the above symptoms are detected, it is necessary to promptly undergo specific examinations and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
