When there is mycoplasmosis in women and what are the possible consequences of this disease?

Mycoplasmosis in women is a disease caused by bacteria. The disease can develop in acute or chronic form. There is also a division of types of diseases into respiratory or genito-urinary depending on its pathogen.

Respiratory mycoplasmosis in women occurs as an acute respiratory infection or pneumonia. Infection occurs in airborne droplets. Symptoms of this type of disease are fever, the appearance of a cold, and inflammation in the tonsils. If the disease has the form of pneumonia, then the patient begins to shiver, and along with the rise in temperature develops a general intoxication of the body. The incubation period in this case can last from a few days to three weeks.

There is also urogenital mycoplasmosis. Symptoms in women are manifested in the form of pain in the lower abdomen, constant burning in the area of the external genitalia. Also, with this type of illness, sexual intercourse and urination are accompanied by pains and unpleasant sensations, and also clear secretions accompanied by an unpleasant "aroma" are observed.

As a rule, signs of infection can appear only after a few weeks, although there are cases when there are no symptoms at all (this is observed in 40% of infected women). After a casual sexual intercourse, a woman should pay special attention to the allocation: after infection, they are almost colorless. There is also some pain during urination accompanied by burning.

This kind of mycoplasmosis is often observed in people who are promiscuous in sexual relations. Often mycoplasmas occur in combination with other pathogens (gonorrhea, chlamydia). Such a complex of diseases is much more difficult to treat. Most often, mycoplasmosis occurs with bacterial vaginosis.

Mycoplasmosis in women extends into the urethra, vagina, cervix and, directly, the body of the uterus. It is possible that in addition to unpleasant sensations in the vagina and labia, mycoplasma causes inflammation of the uterine mucosa, which provokes poor attachment of the embryo to the walls and miscarriage. Remember that this disease often causes infertility. Women who can not have children are often infected with mycoplasmas.

Treatment of mycoplasmosis in women should begin from the very first days after the detection of symptoms and the diagnosis. This is due to the fact that the disease is at the first stages among diseases that are sexually transmitted. Delay in treatment leads to serious consequences - irreversible violations of childbearing function.

Doctors in this case diagnose that mycoplasmosis in women should be treated in a complex way: drugs must destroy the causative agent of the disease, and also stimulate an increase in immunity to the disease.

As a rule, the timing and intensity of treatment are highly individual and depend on many factors: whether the patient has concomitant diseases, what are the possible complications from taking medications, what is the state and level of immunity. Remember that the disease can develop from an acute into a chronic stage. In this case, treatment is significantly hampered. Therefore, an appointment with a doctor is necessary when revealing the first signs of the development of the disease.

As a rule, mycoplasmosis is initially transmitted sexually, and against this background there is the development of respiratory infection and inflammation of the respiratory system. Therefore, diagnosing the disease, it is necessary to take tests for mycoplasma (scraping, urine, saliva). Only after a complete examination must begin a full treatment!
