Ureaplasma urealyticum positive is very stubborn

Ureaplasma urealyticum is a type of mycoplasma and can cause infection. A positive Ureaplasma urealyticum test means that an infection has occurred in the body. The difficulty of treating Ureaplasma positivity varies. Some are easy to treat, but some are very stubborn. The key is to treat the symptoms and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor to ensure the best treatment.

There is not a single treatment for ureaplasma infection. Specifically, there are several ways to treat it.

1. General treatment: Generally speaking, drugs that are effective for chlamydia infection are also effective for mycoplasma infection. Therefore, when necessary, tetracyclines (commonly used are tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline), macrolides (commonly used are erythromycin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate, roxithromycin, azithromycin) and quinolones (commonly used are ofloxacin, levofloxacin) and spectinomycin, clindamycin, clarithromycin, etc. can be used to treat genital mycoplasma infection, with a course of 1 to 2 weeks. Among them, erythromycin is ineffective against Mycoplasma hominis, and clindamycin is ineffective against Ureaplasma urealyticum.

2. Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in women: For female pelvic inflammatory disease, its multifactorial nature should be considered, and treatment should include antibiotics against gonococci, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis and anaerobic bacteria. Foreign countries recommend the combined treatment of cefoxitin + doxycycline or clarithromycin + gentamicin. For prostatitis that may be caused by mycoplasma infection, minocycline should be used for treatment because minocycline can cross the prostate capsule and reach the drug concentration required to kill mycoplasma in the prostate.

3. Male ureaplasma infection: The cause of prostatitis is complex, and the effect of antibiotic treatment is not necessarily good. Comprehensive treatment is required, and it is best to follow the advice of urology experts for treatment.

Any disease should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and ureaplasma infection is no exception.
