Symptoms of mycoplasmosis in women

Mycoplasmosis is one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system. The action of such a pathogenic microorganism as mycoplasma is very similar in properties to fungi or the same bacteria. That is, the symptoms caused by mycoplasma, it will be very difficult to distinguish from the action of the same chlamydia or candida. And sometimes the clinic of mycoplasmosis can be very similar to thrush.

This disease does not have a clear clinical picture, on which it is possible to determine the disease. That is, more often the disease is noted as clinically hidden, albeit characteristically in almost half of cases of genitourinary infection. Since a woman exhibits frequent stress, mycoplasma during such conditions can become more active and manifest as a general symptom of urinary infections.

Often, mycoplasmosis doctors determine in 80% of women who have a genito-urinary infection. Most of these women are those who have any problems with the function of procreation.

General Symptoms of Mycoplasmosis

Mycoplasmosis develops most often in people who have reduced immune system functions, or rather, its work is not enough to cope with the virus. Mycoplasmosis can not develop if the immune barrier does not pass through the virus, because the disease almost always flows in a latent form. Usually the clinical picture is sluggish, barely noticeable, and sometimes not at all displayed at all. Women with mycoplasmosis may not know about their illness, even for several years. But as soon as mycoplasma sufficiently weaken the body, the clinic will immediately manifest itself. In general, the period of development of the disease before the start of the clinic is about 1 month. Since the disease manifests itself inactive, no specific symptoms are observed with mycoplasmosis. Even when the immune barrier is overcome by mycoplasma, the first clinical manifestations begin. Mycoplasmosis begins with scanty, small, secretions from the vagina. Allocations are characterized as translucent, with no blood impurities. Gradually appears the first signs of pain - a pain when urinating. When mycoplasmas reach the appendages and the uterus itself, the pains in the abdomen begin to wilt. They are weak in intensity, do not have strong dynamics, but begin to intensify before and during menstruation. In women, inflammation of the urethra can also be manifested by a slight itching during urination, which is usually perceived by women as the onset of the appearance of cystitis. With such manifestations, the local immunity of the uterus, tubes or ovaries becomes weaker, which can lead to such diseases as endometritis, salpingitis, abscesses and other pathologies. It is worth noting that the exacerbation of mycoplasmosis symptoms in women is mainly manifested during menopause, menstruation or other hormonal imbalances.

Latent current of

Do not forget that all of the above symptoms of mycoplasmosis are not specific, that is, they do not specifically respond to this disease. Pain when urinating, drawing pains in the lower abdomen and itching can be determined not only in the presence of mycoplasmosis. Or the clinic of mycoplasmosis may not manifest itself at all during 2-3 years and develop only if there is any immunodeficiency.

The incubation period, that is, the time from the onset of entry into the body of the virus before the clinic, the mycoplasmosis can take up to a month. Therefore, if you suspect or notice any of the above symptoms, immediately consult a doctor. Remember that mycoplasmosis in women is a latent infection, so do not neglect gynecological examinations and go through all the tests for hidden infections.
