Ureaplasma treatment

Ureaplasma urealitikum is a specific bacterium that can cause the disease "ureaplasmosis". This microorganism lacks the cell membrane and DNA. By properties, it is in an intermediate position between unicellular bacteria and viruses.

Doctors have not yet come to a consensus on what role ureaplasma plays in the development of gynecological diseases. Some experts believe that this microorganism can cause the development of urethritis or cystitis, but does not provoke inflammation in the genital tract. Others are sure that this infection is conditionally-pathogenic, that is, its existence in the body can be considered a norm, and it can lead to the development of diseases only under certain conditions. In this regard, when the ureaplasma is detected in the body, treatment of it is not always necessary.

The diagnosis of "ureoplasmosis" can be confidently made only after the results of the culture test are obtained, which will indicate the presence of obvious signs of the pathogenic process of the genito-urinary tract in the patient and the fact that the ureaplasma is present in the body in large quantities.

In case the woman plans a pregnancy, and she has a ureaplasma urealitikum, the treatment will be preventive, since ureaplasmosis can harm both the woman and her future child. In such circumstances, treatment is certainly necessary.

As a rule, this infection requires complex therapy, and antibacterial drugs play a paramount role. It is important to understand to which antibiotic the ureaplasma is sensitive, the treatment of which will depend on this factor. To do this, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary study, capable of determining the effectiveness of the drug in a particular case.
In addition, if the patient has already undergone therapy, but for some reason has interrupted the course, and he has again been found in large quantities of ureaplasma, treatment should be prescribed already with other medicines, since the previous preparations the bacterium has adapted. In light of this, it is worth noting that self-medication of this disease is unacceptable.

If one of the sexual partners has a ureaplasma, treatment must be carried out together, because infection with the infection occurs precisely through sexual contact. The specialist prescribes antibacterial therapy with the help of tablets, injections, suppositories.

After a course of treatment with antibiotics, it is necessary to restore the microflora of the genital tract and intestine with eubiotics. The doctor may also recommend the use of foods containing bifidobacteria.

In addition to antibiotic therapy, immunomodulating agents are prescribed, restoring and strengthening the patient's immunity. In addition, local treatment is applied, in the form of physiotherapy, installation of the bladder, to which ureaplasma is sensitive . In men, treatment produces a good result in combination with a prostate massage.

For the entire treatment period, sexual abstinence, refusal of spirits, spicy, fried, spicy and salty foods is necessary. At the end of the course, control studies are carried out either by PCR, or by bacteriological inoculation. In women, tests are taken during three menstrual cycles, men are checked for a month.
