Many patients will routinely do a Mycoplasma genitalium test when they undergo a genital tract secretion test, and often a large percentage of patients have a positive test result, with a general positive rate of about 60% for women and about 30% for men. Some patients feel that Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and they are very afraid of it. They realize that they have not had unclean sex, so they are embarrassed to be treated for it; some of them even find that one of the spouses is positive, while the other is negative, which makes them feel even more incomprehensible, as it is not infected through sexual contact. Indeed, the infection of mycoplasma genitalium can be transmitted through sexual contact, but not the existence of mycoplasma means that you have a sexually transmitted disease. Why is that? Let’s start by explaining what Mycoplasma genitalium is. Discovered in 1898, Mycoplasma genitalium, also known as Mycoplasma hominis, is a simple prokaryotic organism. Its size is between that of a bacterium and a virus. Its structure is also relatively simple, mostly spherical, no cell wall, only three-layer structure of the cell membrane, so it has greater variability. Mycoplasma can be inoculated and grown on special media, and this method is used in conjunction with clinical diagnosis. Related to genitourinary tract infection is mainly decomposition of ureaplasma mycoplasma and human mycoplasma two, about 20-30% of patients with nongonococcal urethritis, is caused by the above two mycoplasma, is the second major causative agent of nongonococcal urethritis and cervicitis. In the adult genitourinary tract to break down the infection rate of Mycoplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis is mainly related to sexual activity, that is to say, with the number of times of sexual intercourse, the number of objects of sexual intercourse, regardless of both sexes. Mycoplasma infection rates are statistically higher in women, indicating that the female genital tract is more susceptible to mycoplasma growth than the male genital tract. In addition, Mycoplasma urealyticum has a higher infection rate than Mycoplasma hominis. From this information, we can see that not all people who get mycoplasma will have non-gonococcal urethritis, and that women’s reproductive systems are more likely to grow mycoplasma than men’s, so it’s not a given that one person will have mycoplasma and the other will. Of course, mycoplasma is indeed an important factor in causing infertility, the symptoms of infection we can not be too optimistic, due to actively cooperate with the treatment, but also can not be too much fear, anxiety disposition, when the clinical symptoms, under normal treatment, can certainly overcome this stubborn disease.
