Characteristic symptoms and methods of treatment of Ureaplasma in men

Ureaplasmosis in men is common among other infections of the genital tract. Is caused by a microorganism ‒ a Ureaplasma, which has no cell wall and is able to multiply rapidly. The pathogen can remain in the body men for years, does not prove itself. Often combined with ureaplasmosis mycoplasmosis, as both of the pathogen are identical in structure and needs. In this regard, to treat anaplasmosis can be difficult, since some drugs simply have no effect on the pathogen.

The main points that characterize the anaplasmosis:

  1. The pathogen occupies an intermediate position between bacteria and viruses.
  2. The disease is characterized by the occurrence of inflammation in the genitals.
  3. The infection is sexually transmitted.
  4. Often ureaplazmoz combined with other diseases of the reproductive system (mycoplasmosis, gonorrhea, chlamydia),

The incubation period after infection is 1 to 4 weeks, in this time the man already infected, although the disease is not suspected. So at risk are people, promiscuous and prefer unprotected sex.

Symptoms

After an incubation period may experience mild symptoms or none at all. After urination male feels a mild burning of the urethra occurs the secretion of the mucous substance. These symptoms are usually of special concern do not cause. By the time the signs subside, and the infection develops further. If the man ignored the first symptoms and do not go to the doctor, it can still infect their sexual partners.

Ifit revealed that men do ureaplasmosis, you will need to pass a semen analysis to determine the extent of inflammation and loss of sperm.

To treat a ureaplasmosis you should use the antibacterial drugs of the tetracycline and erythromycinbuy groups. Drugs should be taken at least 2 weeks. Often man ignores the first symptoms of the disease. Most treated only when the disease is already running. With chronic ureaplasmosis treatment regimen is supplemented with antibiotics of the groups of fluoroquinolones and macrolides. Often requires treatment with combination of drugs. Self-acceptance or cancellation of doctor prescribed medicines leads to the fact that Ureaplasma becomes resistant to drugs then to treat it in the future will be more difficult.

To strengthen the immune system, you need to take immunomodulating drugs, and for prophylaxis of candidiasis ‒ antinicotine funds. After a course of antibiotics to normalize the flora are accepted prebiotics. All drugs are prescribed only by the doctor individually for each patient. The choice of medication and length of treatment depends on the immune status of the patient, presence of other diseases, severity of a ureaplasmosis.

Like any venereal disease, anaplasmosis leads to the inflammation of the prostate, testicles, bladder and kidneys. Such consequences contribute to the development of impotence and infertility.
