Will a weak positive Ureaplasma urealyticum test affect pregnancy?

Most young people nowadays want to have one baby. Although the two-child policy will soon be fully opened, the pressure of raising children still makes many families choose to have only one child. Therefore, they pay special attention to eugenics and want to ensure the health of the child. It is best for women in the pregnancy preparation stage to do a 10-item eugenics test to see if there are any problems that may affect the child's health. It is this test that many expectant mothers in the pregnancy preparation stage find that their ureaplasma urealyticum is weakly positive. So will weakly positive ureaplasma urealyticum affect pregnancy?

The test results show that you are infected with Ureaplasma urea, but it does not necessarily mean that you have an unclean sexual life. Of course, your husband must get checked. And should be treated as soon as possible. In fact, about 80% of urethral and genital infections are caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum. Severe infections can infect the fetus through the placenta and cause premature birth or stillbirth, or can infect newborns during delivery and cause respiratory infections. In addition, Ureaplasma urealyticum can also cause infertility.

Ureaplasma urealyticum infection is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, and is more common in young people during their sexual prime, especially after unclean sexual intercourse. When inflammation occurs in the urogenital tract and the mucosal surface is damaged, ureaplasma urealyticum can easily invade through the damaged area and cause urogenital tract infection. After being infected with ureaplasma urealyticum, most patients have no obvious symptoms. Therefore, it is difficult for patients to detect it and it is easy for doctors to miss the diagnosis.

Ureaplasma urealyticum can invade the urethra, cervix and Bartholin's glands, causing urethritis, cervicitis and Bartholin's glands; when the infection ascends, it can cause endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease and salpingitis, especially salpingitis. Pathological changes in female reproductive organs caused by ureaplasma infection are an important cause of infertility.

Another adverse cause of ureaplasma infection is miscarriage. Some people have found that the positive rate of ureaplasma in aborted tissues is as high as over 40%. Therefore, for unexplained miscarriage, especially multiple miscarriages, the possibility of ureaplasma infection should be considered. Inflammatory adhesions of the fallopian tubes caused by incomplete obstruction of the fallopian tubes due to ureaplasma infection can narrow the lumen and make it obstructed, which is also an important cause of ectopic pregnancy.

After women become pregnant, the increase in progesterone suppresses cellular immunity, reduces the body's resistance, and makes them more susceptible to ureaplasma infection. Perinatal infection caused by ureaplasma has become a new problem facing modern obstetrics.

During the delivery process, the fetus is also susceptible to infection when it is delivered through the birth canal. The most common ones are neonatal ophthalmia, followed by neonatal respiratory tract infection, and others include otitis media, pharyngitis, etc.

After knowing the answer to the question of whether weak positive ureaplasma will affect pregnancy, I hope that all female friends who are preparing to become pregnant can treat this issue correctly. And because this disease is a sexually transmitted disease, it is recommended that your husband can also be examined and treated to ensure the health of the future child.
