This makes some netizens very puzzled and confused. Seeing so many websites and medical advertisements all emphasize the harm of mycoplasma and chlamydia infection. Is it too lack of professional knowledge and irresponsible to netizens?
I want to discuss it in detail here. The following relevant data are from the papers of Wu (China Academy of Medical Sciences, Institute of Dermatology, Peking Union Medical College), Shao Changgeng (China Academy of Medical Sciences, Institute of Dermatology, Peking Union Medical College) and (China Academy of Medical Sciences, Institute of Dermatology, Peking Union Medical College):
Urethritis is characterized by increased urethral secretions, dysuria or itching of urethral orifice, which is an inflammatory reaction of urethra caused by some pathogens. Physical examination is characterized by urethral secretion. The laboratory examination that can be diagnosed is Gram staining of urethral smear or the increase of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) in the first urine sediment. When Neisseria gonorrhoeae is found, it is called gonococcal urethritis (GU) or gonorrhea. If there is no gonococcus, it is called nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). The term NGU is more suitable than nonspecific urethritis because NGU has many specific causes, among which Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are the most common. Shortly after the cure of urethral gonorrhea, NGU was called post gonorrhea urethritis (PGU).
You may be confused by the proper nouns above. Let's put it this way: urethritis in other cases can be collectively called "nongonococcal urethritis" except that gonorrhea is caused by gonococcus. There are many pathogens that cause nongonococcal urethritis. Mycoplasma and chlamydia are just one of them. Others include Escherichia coli, meningococcus, other microorganisms (adenovirus, saprophytic staphylococcus, ureaplasma urealyticum), mycoplasma genitalium, primary genital herpes simplex virus, trichomonas vaginalis, etc.
Even if ureaplasma urealyticum and chlamydia are positive, they are not all patients: epidemiological investigation shows that 34% of normal men can isolate Ureaplasma urealyticum, and some foreign studies have isolated Chlamydia trachomatis from 1 1% asymptomatic soldiers,1/asymptomatic men in urban emergency departments and 7% asymptomatic college students. According to the data of Journal of Fujian Medical University, Volume 33, No.2 1999, 273 asymptomatic women in Fuzhou were cultured with Uu (Ureaplasma urealyticum), and 132 was positive, with a positive rate of 48.35%. In the study of pregnant women, the colonization rate of ureaplasma urealyticum in the lower reproductive tract of pregnant women can be as high as 50 ~ 80%. The infection rate of pregnant women with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in rural areas of the United States is 9.0%. The CT infection rate of low-income pregnant women in Mexico is10.1%; In Vestsjaelland, Denmark, the CT infection rate of pregnant women is 2.9%; In Sao Paulo, Brazil, the CT infection rate of pregnant women is 9%; In Martinique, France, the CT infection rate of pregnant women is 26.7%. The infection rate of pregnant women is different around the world, which may be related to the different detection reagents, methods and time.
Seeing the above figures, you should know that normal people can have mycoplasma and chlamydia parasites. If all mycoplasma and chlamydia are found to need treatment, then according to the above statistics, more than 30% of men and more than 40% of women need treatment. This is hundreds of millions of people.
Some netizens said that if you don't need treatment, does it mean carrying a bomb with you? Because these microorganisms may get sick at any time, why not remove them from the body before they get sick?
In fact, our bodies and living environment are full of microorganisms. If you have studied microbiology, you will know that there are a large number of microorganisms in the human body, many of which are pathogenic microorganisms. But why are many people healthy and normal and not sick?
This is related to people's own resistance and immunity. It is also related to the "flora balance" formed by microorganisms parasitic in the human body.
We have a good immune system to protect our bodies from all kinds of microorganisms and maintain our health. Even a few highly pathogenic microorganisms (infectious diseases), not everyone will get sick after infection. That is, under normal circumstances, only a few people living in the same environment will get sick. Often their physical fitness will decline, and their resistance will be very low. In recent years, mycoplasma and chlamydia have become important factors causing nongonococcal urethritis. Among people with sexual disorders, because they often have high frequency of sexual intercourse, the sexual organs are in a state of congestion for a long time. This makes their sexual organs less resistant to pathogens and more prone to mycoplasma, chlamydia infection and nongonococcal urethritis than normal people.
Aware can test herself without drawing blood. I wish your cat health!
If it is really possible to "get rid of it from your body before you get sick", that's fine, but in most cases, it's impossible. Various microorganisms parasitic on human body can be said to accompany human life. Mycoplasma and chlamydia can be parasitic in normal people, and they can balance with many other parasitic microorganisms (strive for the' resources' of parasitic environment), so that the number of each other can be controlled without affecting the human body, which is called "flora balance" in medicine. If antibiotics are abused, the original "flora balance" will be destroyed, but the number of some microorganisms will increase sharply, leading to other infections. In some hospitals, due to the influence of interests or professional knowledge, the abuse of antibiotics occurs from time to time. But a doctor with professional knowledge and morality should not do this.
If you have symptoms, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment; But if there are no symptoms, there is no need for treatment. These so-called "treatments" often only increase your psychological burden and increase your unnecessary expenses. More unfortunately, they will destroy the original "flora balance" in your body and cause various problems.
