What mycoplasmosis

Mycoplasmosis is an acute infectious disease in which may be affected by respiratory and genitourinary systems.

Called mycoplasmosis mycoplasmas, which there are about forty species. But the most dangerous to humans are mycoplasma affecting the respiratory and urinary organs. Mycoplasma can be sexually transmitted, domestic, airborne, and prenatal (from mother to fetus) by. Very often, mycoplasma can live together in the body with other microorganisms, sexually transmitted diseases - chlamydia Chlamydia: insidious and widespread disease , Trichomonas, gonococci, and others.

Mycoplasmosis airways

Infection usually occurs through airborne droplets from an infected person. The incubation period (time from infection to the onset of the disease) - from one to four weeks. The disease usually occurs either as acute respiratory disease, or in the form of pneumonia Pneumonia - Symptoms and Causes .

Acute respiratory disease is most easily with a gradual start. It appears dry and sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose. Coughing is not permanent, paroxysmal, lasts 1-2 weeks. High temperature (up to 38º) can stay a few days to weeks, a small increase in temperature in some cases holds up to 2-3 weeks.

Pneumonia also begins gradually with acute respiratory disease, but after 3-4 days dramatically increases the temperature (up to 39-40º), which lasts several days, and then decreases, and a slight increase can be kept for a long time. Cough dry at first, then with phlegm.

Mycoplasmosis urinary organs

Infection occurs sexual and domestic (very rarely) by. The incubation period - from three days to five weeks. The disease usually occurs initially chronic, often - without symptoms.

In men it manifests the appearance of the morning a small amount of discharge from the urethra or pulling pain in the groin, and redness of the skin of the scrotum when passing the infection to epididymis. This sperm can change some of its properties.

Mycoplasmosis women often asymptomatic. When acute course of the disease in women may appear allocation of white or yellow in color, pain, a burning sensation during urination and sexual intercourse, abdominal pain Abdominal pain: when to sound the alarm? In the lumbar region. Mycoplasmosis can cause premature birth, early discharge of amniotic fluid, fever during labor and postpartum mothers, the development of pneumonia and brain damage in children.

What is the danger of mycoplasma

Guile mycoplasmal infections is that the infection does not always lead to the disease. There is a carrier of infection healthy people with good immune systems, as well as latent forms of the disease. All this contributes to the further spread of the disease.

Men mycoplasmosis threatened change in the structure of sperm and infertility.

Women mycoplasmosis is dangerous because it can be transmitted to the fetus during pregnancy. If the infection of the fetus occurred in early pregnancy, miscarriage is possible, the later - intrauterine fetal infection with pneumonia and brain damage.

Treatment of mycoplasma

Mycoplasmosis usually respond well to treatment. But the peculiarity of it is that most often it affects men and women with disorders of the body's defenses (immune system). Therefore, treatment is not a simple task, it must necessarily be carried out in the hospital and include:

• antibiotics (antibiotics that are assigned only after the analysis of sensitivity to them mycoplasma);
• , strengthens the immune system and has a tonic effect;
• when urogenital mycoplasmosis - Hold Local anti-inflammatory treatment (baths, douches Douching - a controversial procedure , Suppositories, ointments and so on).

The criteria for cure when urogenital mycoplasmosis is the absence of mycoplasma in the laboratory study. For this purpose 10 days after treatment are analyzed for the presence of mycoplasma (seeding material for special environment). Then, the same crops are carried out three times at intervals of one month immediately prior to menstruation.

Prevention of mycoplasma

Prevention in the urogenital mycoplasmosis includes:

• respect for sexual health;
• timely inspection for symptoms of the disease and the complete abandonment of self;
• screening for urogenital infections marrying, pregnant women and newborns;
• observance of sanitary-epidemiological regime in basins (water disinfection).

Symptoms of ovarian apoplexy and difficulty in diagnosis

Symptoms of ovarian apoplexy usually non-specific, they are easily confused with symptoms of other acute illnesses. Statement of preliminary diagnosis often causes problems, so surgery can be carried out only on the basis of the presence of complexes of symptoms of "acute abdomen." Put a diagnosis alone is impossible: that is why it is so important in time to see a doctor for any pain in the abdominal area.

There are three forms of apoplexy - pain, anemic and mixed. Each of these forms has its differences.

Anemic form is characterized by rupture of the walls of the ovaries, and blood vessels. As a result, there is bleeding into the abdominal cavity - in some cases very abundant. Symptoms typical of internal bleeding: paleness, weakness, dizziness, Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet , Nausea and vomiting, heart palpitations, the appearance of cold sweat. Can appear symptoms of the intrauterine pregnancy.

When the pain the form of bleeding into the abdominal cavity do not happen: bleeding occurs inside the ovary. The pressure of the blood clot irritates the pain receptors, and the main symptom in this case becomes a sharp pain in the lower abdomen. As a rule, a painful form of apoplexy often mistaken for appendicitis Appendicitis - when we must act immediately Especially if the affected right ovary.

For mixed forms are characterized by a combination of symptoms of pain and anemic form. Bleeding occurs both inside the ovary, and the abdominal cavity, and pain associated with evidence of internal bleeding.

Methods of Treatment

Treatment of ovarian apoplexy appointed doctor. When the pain the form of apoplexy can avoid surgery. If there are signs of internal bleeding that required emergency surgery. The task of physicians is not only in saving the patient's life, but also in the preservation of reproductive function, so if possible, doctors try to save the ovary. Usually, only the affected part is removed the body that does not affect the functioning of the ovary. Even if you have to remove one ovary entirely - this is not the sentence, was quite enough to give a woman the joy of motherhood. Pregnancy after ovarian apoplexy possible, so you should not be afraid of the operation.

In this case, the doctor may be limited by the fact that relieves pain, the patient will prescribe complete rest and medical drugs.

If even a small bleeding in the abdominal cavity, doctors usually inclined to surgery. In this case, ovarian apoplexy effects are unlikely to be significant. Conservative treatment does not exclude the likelihood of formation of adhesions, which can further affect the reproductive function of women.

Rupture of ovarian tissue - a serious pathology, which in some cases can lead to death. Therefore, there is no self is unacceptable, and if there is suspicion of internal bleeding, that shows emergency surgery. Traditional medicine and homeopathy Homeopathy - the placebo effect in the service of medicine?   when ovarian apoplexy ineffective, and delays can lead to tragedy.

Apoplexy ovary and pregnancy

Survivors of ovarian apoplexy women often fear that the pregnancy after the occurrence of this disease does not occur. This is not true. Even the removal of one ovary does not prevent a woman to become a mother. Moreover, in some cases, ovarian rupture can occur after conception. In this case, the doctors are doing everything possible to keep the pregnancy - with timely treatment to physicians is quite possible. The risk of miscarriage Miscarriage - why you lose the most precious thing?   in such a situation may, however, slightly increase.
