The microorganisms of a special kind of mycoplasm relate to the category of the smallest. But this does not mean that the disease they cause is just as insignificant. Mycoplasma in women is a serious illness that is quite difficult to cure. Due to the lack of a cell wall, it is poorly influenced by antibiotics and quickly progresses.
Causes of mycoplasma
As established by experts, such microorganisms can be attributed to viruses at the cellular level. They are present in small quantities in each organism. If a person is healthy, then they "sleep", but only going on what kind of push and mycoplasma begin to actively increase in quantity.
The causes of the disease can be attributed to:
- Reduction of immunity;
- Supercooling;
- Transfer from mother to child in the womb or during childbirth;
- The appearance of unprotected sexual contact.
Symptoms of disease in women
Symptoms of mycoplasma in the beautiful half of humanity are very similar to other diseases of the gynecological orientation or bladder. Infection is always characterized by pain of different power at the bottom of the abdomen. Gradually, pain increases and the unpleasant sensations appear in the vagina. The process may be accompanied by frequent urges to the toilet and complexity in the performance of this physiological procedure.
Parallel to mycoplasma can flow with such diseases:
- Cystitis;
- Pyelonephritis;
- Replenishing the uterus and appendages;
- Urolithiasis.
Because of similar symptoms, the problem can not immediately recognize, which means to cure it will be more difficult. It is important in such a situation in time to turn to the doctor and pass the tests.
If you run a disease, then mycoplasma can grow into inflammation of the lungs, arthritis and even meningitis.
Ways to diagnose infection
If the well-being has deteriorated and suspicion about the disease arose, then the surrender of tests are immediately appointed. There are three ways to diagnose: culture method, PCR and reef.
Cultural method
The principle of such a diagnosis is to take in a patient of working material in the form of a smear, blood or urine. It is applied to a special medium where microorganisms receive nutrients.
- A plus of such a method is its accuracy and the ability to check the sensitivity of the virus to the effects of the antibiotic.
- The disadvantage is the cost of a large amount of time for analysis.
Polymerase chain reaction
This method involves identifying the disease even with a minimum of work material. This is the most accurate method, but also has its cons - high cost and lack of checking interaction with antibiotics of different groups. PCS can only qualified personnel qualified personnel.
Direct immunofluorescence reaction
This procedure involves the compound of "patients" microorganisms with antigens. The specialist should assess the nature of the reaction obtained. The method is considered to be subjective, because it depends on the level of qualification of a laboratory assistant.
How to cure a disease
It is important to consult a doctor in time and not accepted by treating yourself. The only impact that the persistent result can give is an antibiotic. The doctor prescribes that his appearance that will give a positive shift in a particular case.
Treatment passes the course, which involves constant reception in time. The duration of treatment is also determined by the doctor and may include several courses.
In order for antibiotics to give an operational result, you should refuse to use alcoholic beverages and to withstand a diet for some time.
Mycoplasma is a cunning disease that can be misleading. Incompretable diagnosis and treatment threatens the emergence of serious irreversible consequences. In cases where the disease is transmitted by sexually, you should give preference to secure contact. And if there was infection from the mother to the child, it is important to quickly pass the tests in order not to start the process.
If you follow your health (support immunity, to keep yourself in warmth, etc.), the body will not allow the impetus to happen, which leads to the appearance of mycoplasma.
