Ureaplasm - what is it

A number of strains are called conditionally pathogenic. This means that with a strong immunity, the microorganisms do not show themselves. But with the change in the conditions of the medium, they quickly become aggressive and cause ureaplasmosis, and other diseases of the sexual sphere.

Ureaplasm is a bacterium that is not visible to the armed eye. It dwells on the mucous membranes, mainly in the urinary tract. Select 2 types of biovara: Ureaplasma Parvum and Ureaplasma Urealyticum. The first representative is considered a more civilized inhabitant.

They are infected with ureaplasms when sex contacts. The carrier does not recognize that he has a pathogenic microorganism. After all, symptoms often have no signs. Also, the infection occurs his mother through the generic channel, but in inflexion often occurs.

In men, with ureaplasmosis, there are pain in urination, transparent mucus appears from the urethra. In severe cases, additional diseases are developing: prostatitis, urethritis. Women ureaplasmus causes inflammation of the uterus and her appendages. Because of this, pain occurs at the bottom of the abdomen, there is a clear mucus of sex tract. In women, ureaplasm is activated by heavy diseases: endometritis, colpit, pyelonephritis and cystitis.

The disease is diagnosed with 2 analyzes:

PCR - polymerase chain reaction. This is a high-quality method, i.e. As a result, it is written positively or negatively. If ureaplasm is detected, it is not yet a reason to start treated.
Sowing and sensitivity to antibiotics. This is a quantitative method, the most informative, because gives a detailed picture picture. If microorganisms are less than 10 ⁴ Code / tampon / ml, the treatment is not required. If more, then prescribed antibiotic therapy. At the same time, the type of antibiotic is individual, the analysis shows which medicine is effective. It is important to be treated to the end. Otherwise, ureaplasm is adapted, and the antibiotic will have to pick up again.

In addition to antibiotics, immunomodulators are prescribed to strengthen immunity. In the presence of ureaplasm in the body, a diet is shown. It includes fermented dairy products, many vegetables and fruits. It is forbidden to use fried, sharp, salt and smoked food.

Before dealing with ureaplasm, it is important to undergo a survey. There is a chance that it does not harm with a strong human health. Interestingly, in the West, conditionally pathogenic organisms do not treat, not counting them dangerous.
