Can mycoplasma infection in women cause infertility?

Another major cause of nongonococcal infections in the female genital tract is mycoplasma. In my country, Ureaplasma urealyticum infection is the most common among infertility caused by urinary infection diseases. According to statistics, at the beginning of the 21st century, semen testing of male infertile patients found that the infection rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum had reached 40.59%, and the infection rate of female infertile patients was as high as 40.93%. The infection rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum among infertile patients has shown an obvious upward trend, indicating that urinary tract infections have become the primary factor in male and female infertility.

For male patients, mycoplasma damages male reproductive function through the following pathways:

1. Mycoplasma can directly affect sperm production and affect sperm motility;

2. Mycoplasma infection can damage the reproductive tract, thereby inducing the production of anti-sperm antibodies;

3. Reproductive tract inflammation leads to reproductive tract stenosis and ejaculation dysfunction;

4. Due to inflammation Damage to the epididymis and vas deferens, leading to obstructive azoospermia.

For female patients, infection by pathogens such as Ureaplasma urealyticum can cause changes in the environment in the reproductive tract, which is not conducive to sperm survival and activity; or secondary infection and inflammation can cause genital tract inflammation Narrowing and obstruction prevent sperm and egg from meeting each other. Even if the fallopian tubes of some patients are unobstructed, the cilia of mucosal cells are damaged due to pathogenic infection and become dysfunctional, which can still lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy.

In life, this pathogen is mainly spread through sexual behavior. Chaotic sexual life or irregular sexual partners greatly increase the probability of pathogen infection. To prevent Ureaplasma infection, it is necessary to carry out relevant education among healthy people, improve the public\’s knowledge and awareness of preventing sexually transmitted diseases, and improve the ability of \”self-reproductive health care\”. In particular, it is necessary to put an end to premarital sex and extramarital sex to avoid harming yourself and others, and at the same time causing your own infertility or infertility.

In the treatment of infertility caused by pathogens, joint diagnosis and treatment by both men and women can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Pathogen infection can cause cross-infection between husband and wife through the couple\’s life. Treatment by just one party often cannot be completely cured, and the infection is easy to occur repeatedly. Experts have achieved great results in using integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat infertility caused by pathogenic infections.
