What are the causes of mycoplasma infection?

Many people don't know what mycoplasma infection is. In fact, mycoplasma infection is a common sexually transmitted disease. Mycoplasma infection is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Therefore, if the sexual life is unclean, it is easy to be infected with mycoplasma. It is understood that the detection rate of mycoplasma infection is higher in patients with sexual dysfunction, homosexuality, prostitution, and gonorrhea. It can be seen that the more sexual partners there are, the greater the sexual activity index, and the higher the infection rate. This is why many patients feel very ashamed, panicked, or angry when they find mycoplasma infection.

But in fact, mycoplasma infection is not only transmitted through sexual contact. Mycoplasma can also be transmitted through hands, eyes, towels, clothes, bathrooms, toilets, and swimming pools. Having sex with many people, male urethritis, and poor hygiene habits can also easily cause mycoplasma infection.

When the human body is infected with mycoplasma, it will produce specific immunity, but this immune function is weak and short-lived. Therefore, mycoplasma infection is prone to cause persistent, recurrent and latent infection. Due to different populations of mycoplasma infection, it will cause different harms, the most serious of which is that it may cause infertility.

Therefore, personal hygiene must be taken seriously to prevent mycoplasma infection.

Causes of Mycoplasma Infection

There are many causes of mycoplasma infection. The causes of mycoplasma infection are different in different populations. Here we briefly look at the causes of mycoplasma infection in children, men, and women.

Causes of mycoplasma infection in children

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children refers to acute interstitial pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract. Healthy people are infected by inhaling oral and nasal secretions from coughing and sneezing.

Analysis of the causes of mycoplasma infection in men

1. Mycoplasma infection in men is mostly caused by unclean sexual life. Patients who have sexual relations with others or have bad sexual habits can cause mycoplasma infection.

2. Men who have sexual contact with patients infected with mycoplasma are also prone to infection, especially some male friends with urethritis. At this time, the risk of infection is higher.

3. Mycoplasma can be transmitted through hands, eyes, towels, clothes, bathrooms, toilets, and swimming pools. Therefore, male friends may also be accidentally infected in public places.

Analysis of the causes of mycoplasma infection in women

1. Female mycoplasma infection is mainly caused by unclean sexual life or unhealthy living habits.

2. The female urethra is short, straight, and wide, the urethral sphincter is weak, and the urethral opening is large. Bacteria can easily invade the bladder. The female bladder is not emptied as completely as the male bladder, and there is more residual urine. The urine stays in the bladder for too long, which is conducive to bacterial growth.

4. Gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease can cause urinary tract infections through bacteria that contaminate the urethra through the lymphatic pathway or secretions. Postpartum urinary tract infections are also easily caused by vaginal/vaginal and uterine trauma, infection, reduced systemic resistance, prolonged labor, and dystocia.

3. The female urethra is close to the vagina and anus. Urinary epithelial cells are more sensitive to bacteria than men. Menstrual blood is also a good culture medium for bacteria. If the vulva is not cleaned carefully, bacteria can easily breed.

5. Infection is also more likely to occur during pregnancy, young girls or after menopause due to changes in estrogen and pH levels.

To treat mycoplasma infection, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and adjust your body according to the doctor's advice. Generally speaking, the treatment of mycoplasma infection is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
