Today we can safely say that ureaplasmarefers to those infections that are directly transmitted sexually. This is explained quite simply. The fact is that the main causative agent is considered to be ureaplasma of uraliticum of the genus mycoplasma, which can actually be deployed in the genital tract and transmitted through sexual contact.
Before talking about the characteristic disease,It should be clarified that ureaplasma is represented by the smallest pathogenic microorganisms that live directly on the mucous membranes of the urinary tract and genital organs. Initially, these bacteria were attributed to the genus Mycoplasma, but today they have moved into a separate class of bacteria due to their ability to actively break down urea. It is important to clarify that there are two types of ureaplasma: ureaplasma parvum and ureaplasma T960. Note that of the two biovars, the first one is much more common in medical practice, therefore, we will focus on it in more detail.
To begin with, it is necessary to specify which pathologiescan provoke ureaplasma parvum. This type of ureaplasm contributes to the exacerbation of inflammatory diseases of the cervix, genitals and bladder, in particular, the development of cystitis, colpitis and cervicitis in women. If we talk about newborns, there is a weighty assumption that parvum actively influences the formation of pathology, however, these data have not yet been confirmed. Here it is important to recall that infection occurs from the mother to the fetus.
Уреаплазма парвум у мужчин провоцирует pathological processes of the urethra, including inflammation of the epididymis, urethritis, arthritis and prostatitis, however, such an infection in the male body is much less common than in the female. If we talk about a child's body, then these pathogenic bacteria can cause respiratory diseases, and in advanced cases, rapidly develop bronchitis and pneumonia.
There is another category of patients for whomUreaplasma parvum is fraught with tragic consequences. We are talking about pregnant women, infection of which can contribute to the rejection of the fetus and, as a result, abortion, as well as abnormal development of the fetus in the womb. Therefore, before planning pregnancy, it is appropriate and necessary to pass tests to both partners to identify this pathogen.
Ureaplasma parvum has various symptoms, buthere it should be clarified that the incubation period of the pathological process lasts up to a month. Then the infected organism begins to “demonstrate” the characteristic signs of pathology. It should be noted that often signs of ureaplasmosis are mild, so a sick person can not immediately pay attention to them. Especially asymptomatic progression of this disease is observed in women who can live for years and not be aware of the presence of this unpleasant disease in them, but to reveal it by chance, on a routine examination by a gynecologist. In general, the symptoms of ureaplasmosis are similar to signs of inflammation of the urogenital system.
Если все же лабораторным путем выявлена Ureaplasma parvum, treatment should be prompt. Here it is necessary to clarify that the scheme of productive treatment is prescribed individually in each clinical case, depending on the location of the site of inflammation. The specialist will recommend antibacterial drugs that can destroy the infection; immunomodulators, activating the body's defenses, as well as medicinal drugs, whose action significantly reduces the risk of exacerbation of side effects when taking antibiotics.
Важно понимать, что лечение должен назначать an extremely knowledgeable specialist, and superficial self-medication will not give tangible results, but will only aggravate the pathology. With timely response ureaplasma parvum productively treated.
