What is mycoplasma infection in the urinary tract?

Speaking of urinary tract mycoplasma infection, many friends said that they don’t know what the difference is between it and general urinary tract infection. In fact, urinary tract mycoplasma infection not only causes patients to have symptoms of urgency and pain in urination, but most importantly, it may cause infertility. You must know that mycoplasma virus can cause great damage to sperm. Therefore, it is very important to understand what urinary tract mycoplasma infection is and actively treat it.

Symptoms of mycoplasma infection in the urinary tract

The incubation period of urinary tract mycoplasma infection is 1-3 weeks. The typical acute symptoms are similar to those of other non-gonococcal genitourinary tract infections, including urethral stinging, varying degrees of urgency and frequency of urination, and stinging during urination, especially when the urine is more concentrated. The urethral opening is slightly red and swollen, the secretion is thin and small in amount, and is serous or purulent. The urethra must be squeezed hard to see the secretion overflow.

There is often a small amount of mucous secretion at the urethral opening in the morning, or only a scab membrane seals the opening, or there is a dirty crotch. This is a common symptom of mycoplasma infection in the urinary tract. The subacute stage is often accompanied by prostate infection. Patients often experience perineum pain, low back pain, discomfort in the inner thighs, or a tingling sensation radiating from the perineum to the inner thighs when doing anal lifting movements. Common complications include salpingitis, and a small number of patients may develop endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Treatment of mycoplasma infection in the urinary tract

When it comes to the treatment of mycoplasma infection in the urinary tract, the pros and cons must be weighed, and the treatment must be carried out with caution and not too aggressively. The treatment of the spouse or sexual partner of the infected person should also be cautious. The key is to target other sexually transmitted disease pathogens that may co-exist. There are many people with urinary tract mycoplasma infection who have been treated with antibiotics for a long time, but their mycoplasma tests are still positive and they have also developed many new discomforts.

After understanding what urinary tract mycoplasma infection is and its treatment, we need to remind all friends that if you find that mycoplasma is positive during an examination, but you do not find any discomfort symptoms in your body, you generally do not need special treatment. After all, taking antibiotics for a long time can also be harmful to the human body.
