Ureaplasmosis

Short characteristic of a disease

Ureaplasmosis at men and women is one of the most widespread infections in category of diseases, sexually transmitted. In spite of the fact that causative agents of ureaplasmosis are revealed for a long time and well studied, many specialists still doubt whether it is possible to consider ureaplasmosis an individual disease, or it is a consequence of any other processes proceeding in a human body. Similar doubts are based on the last researches during which it was found out that causative agents of ureaplasmosis are present at a vagina of 60% of healthy women. Moreover, they are found in 30% of newborn girls. Cases of emergence of ureaplasmas in healthy men are registered less often, but there is it regularly and can serve as the soil for quite valid conclusions. However, they are already made. A few years ago ureaplasmosis at men and women received definition of conditionally pathogenic infection and now initial hostility of its activators to the person is called into question.

Infestant

Ureaplasmosis at women and men is provoked by activity of ureaplasmas which are similar to large viruses as they have neither a cellular cover, nor DNA, utrachenenny bacteria during natural evolution. The name of an infection "ureaplasmosis" is explained by the fact that ureaplasmas cannot exist without urea which they destroy during the natural life cycle. Transfer of causative agents of ureaplasmosis is carried out preferential during sexual intercourse. The household way of infection is registered seldom, and generally children so catch that is connected with imperfection of their immune system. Also perhaps pre-natal infection when the disease is transferred to a fruit in mother's womb. There is a wish to note at once that ureaplasmosis which symptoms are observed during pregnancy can lead to very sad effects therefore future mothers surely check regarding existence of ureaplasmas. You should not be afraid of positive takes of analyses. The main thing that the disease was revealed in time, and activators can be destroyed easily by means of antibacterial drugs.

Ureaplasmosis symptoms

Ureaplasmosis symptoms at men and women appear approximately in a month after infection, but as it was already told above, at a favorable current it can not prove for several years in any way. In this case everything depends on the state of health of the patient ureaplazozy the person, more precisely – his immune system. Vagina microflora, a normal ratio of various microorganisms becomes the major protective factor of an organism. If for any reasons the brittle balance is broken, ureaplasmosis which treatment is directed to decrease in quantity of ureaplasmas begins to develop. However, the main difficulty in this case is connected not so much with treatment how many with diagnosis of a disease. Ureaplasmosis proves insignificant symptoms. Many patients do not pay to them any attention and therefore very often ureaplasmosis is found only during planned surveys or a research of the analyses taken in absolutely other occasion.

It is necessary to carry to number of the most typical symptoms of ureaplasmosis:

• transparent allocations from a vagina;
• burning sensation at an urination;
• nagging pains in the bottom of a stomach;
• plentiful and long periods;
• disturbances of a menstrual cycle;
• bleedings (are shown seldom);
• emergence of white allocations on a balanus.

There is an opinion that ureaplasmosis at women and men often leads to infertility. It not absolutely so. As we already spoke, contagiums are present even at microflora of absolutely healthy people therefore the impossibility to become pregnant is influenced, first of all, by existence of inflammatory process. Long uncontrolled reproduction of ureaplasmas causes disturbances of reproductive function which can really end with infertility.

Ureaplasmosis at pregnancy

During incubation of the child when protective barriers of an organism significantly weaken, to start development of an infection it is enough even a small amount of ureaplasmas. They do not cause malformations in the child, but can become the reason of abortions, early childbirth, a hydramnion and fetoplacental insufficiency that exerts impact on normal fetation, its supply with oxygen and nutrients. For this reason, ureaplasmosis which symptoms during pregnancy are expressed much stronger is among the infections demanding continuous monitoring and timely treatment. If it was succeeded to reveal ureaplasmosis symptoms in time, to future mother the safe drugs allowing to reduce quantity of ureaplasmas, to take out and give birth to the healthy child are appointed.

Fruit infection from mother during incubation occurs extremely seldom as the kid is reliably protected by a placenta. Nevertheless, the number of newborn children with the revealed ureaplasmosis constantly grows as at the time of delivery protective barriers do not work any more. Respectively, it is necessary to treat ureaplasmosis at pregnancy prior to childbirth. Usually the course of antibacterial therapy is appointed during the 2nd trimester.

Diagnosis of a disease

For statement of the exact diagnosis doctors use a combination from several methods:

• bacteriological – allows to define precisely quantity of ureaplasmas for what the taken samples of materials are located in a medium. Also this method is applied to detection of sensitivity of activators to these or those drugs;
• polydimensional chain reaction – the operational diagnostic method allowing to define precisely ureaplasmosis at women and men in 5 hours after capture of analyses. The only lack of this type of a research is that it does not give information on the number of activators, and, therefore, is not the basis for the choice of this or that drug;
• the serological method – is intended for identification of antibodies to antigens of ureaplasmas. It is used for definition of the reasons of early childbirth, infertility, complications in a puerperal period.

Treatment of ureaplasmosis

If researches revealed the increased number of activators in an organism, ureaplasmosis demands treatment from men and women. The small quantity of ureaplasmas is not the basis for purpose of a course of treatment of ureaplasmosis. An exception are the women who are planning pregnancy or already bearing the child.

As activators easily adapts to action of various antibiotics, to find an effective remedy happens very difficult. Only bacterial researches with definition of sensitivity of microorganisms to the operating components of drugs can help with it. Usually specialists use tetracyclines (doxycycline, tetracycline) and macroleads (вильпрафен, кларитромицин, azithromycin). Practically all antibiotics are strictly contraindicated during pregnancy. If the diagnosis ureaplasmosis is made to future mother, treatment means purpose of safe macroleads (erythromycin, Rovamycinum) and immunomodulators. The last help to strengthen immune system that is very important for successful treatment of an infection.
