Ureaplasmosis - symptoms

Ureaplasmosis is a gynecological disease, which is accompanied by an increase in the number of ureaplasmas in the vaginal microflora. As is known, in the vagina, microorganisms are contained in the vagina, which together form its microflora. Ureaplasmas are conditionally pathogenic, therefore, they are present in almost every female body.

How does the infection of the body with ureaplasmas?

The main way of spreading the infection is sexual. However, it is possible to transmit the pathogen from the mother to the child, when passing it through the birth canal. Also, cases of oral-genital transmission of the disease have recently become more frequent.

To promote the development of pathology, many internal factors of the body can also exacerbate: exacerbation of chronic diseases of the genitourinary system, reduction of immune forces,

How to recognize ureaplasmosis by yourself?

Ureaplasmosis has latent symptoms, like other sexual infections. Therefore, a pathology is detected, as a rule, not in the initial stage. Only with time, signs of ureaplasmosis begin to appear, which in women cause fear. Most often it is:

1. Appearance of vaginal discharge, the color of which is predominantly transparent. Allocations are odorless. After a while, their color may become yellowish, indicating that the inflammatory process is attached.
2. Cutting pains in the lower abdomen begin to appear even when the pathogen has penetrated deep into the body and led to the development of inflammation in the reproductive organs - the uterus and its appendages.
3. In the case of oral-genital infection, there may be manifestations of angina, i.e. the appearance of pain in the throat and plaque on the tonsils.
4. Frequent urge to urinate can also talk about the development of ureaplasmosis. In this case, the act of urination itself is accompanied by painful sensations.
5. In this disease, sexual intercourse is also accompanied by uncomfortable sensations and pain.

How is ureaplasmosis treated?

Only after women are diagnosed with ureaplasmosis, which is confirmed by the analysis, they begin treatment. The main component in the complex treatment of this pathology is antibiotic therapy. As a rule, the use of tableted antibiotic forms is combined with their local application, using vaginal suppositories.

Simultaneously with the reception of antibiotics, immunomodulators are prescribed, which will avoid the recurrence of pathology in the future. If signs of ureaplasmosis were detected during pregnancy, then treatment is prescribed only for acute indications. Usually, therapy is not started earlier than after 22 weeks of pregnancy.

What can turn into ureaplasmosis if it is not treated?

In most cases, the later establishment of pathology leads to its transition to a chronic form. In this case, ureaplasma remains on the mucous reproductive tract, and even with the slightest weakening of immunity lead to an exacerbation of the disease. Most often this is observed in the development catarrhal diseases, a stressful situation, after heavy physical exertion, etc.

In addition, ureaplasmosis can cause the development of diseases such as colpitis, cervicitis , urolithiasis, cystitis, and in rare cases leads to arthritis.

With the development of the disease during the current pregnancy, ureaplasmosis can cause premature birth or complete interruption.

Thus, every woman should know the symptoms of ureaplasmosis, which will allow timely treatment and quickly get rid of the disease. At the same time, the sooner it is started, the greater the probability of a positive outcome.
