Infertility due to new sexually transmitted disease Genital mycoplasm is spreading faster and faster

Why does genital mycoplasma continue to spread??

British experts warn against the spread of a relatively new transmissible sexually transmitted disease. In the future, this could lead to thousands of women becoming infertile every year. Actually, the disease can simply be treated with antibiotics, but the resistance of the venereal disease to antibiotics continues to increase.

The scientists from the National Health Service (NHS) in England found in their current study that the transmissible sex disorder called genital mycoplasma is developing an increasing resistance to antibiotics. If it continues to increase, it could cause thousands of women to become infertile every year. The doctors published a guide on "NHS Choices" on the subject.

What is Genital Mycoplasma??

Genital Mycoplasma Genital Mycoplasma actually only helps a condom. The disease is sometimes difficult to determine for those affected because it shows no symptoms in some people. Genital mycoplasma is triggered by the bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium. Mycoplasma genitalium can cause a very painful urethritis in men and women. Men can detect this by a strong burning while urinating. In addition, outflow, arthritis and an inflamed pelvis may arise, the doctors say. British experts are now warning of an epidemic if people are not better informed about the disease.

Illness is often treated with wrong doses of antibiotics

The condition is often confused with chlamydia and then treated with false doses of antibiotics, the experts say. This leads to a build up of dangerous antibiotic resistance. This approach to treatment must not be pursued because this will undoubtedly lead to a public health emergency with the emergence of a new super-exciters, the researchers emphasize.

Testing is not yet available in many practices

Only recently has been an effective test, which can detect the infection by the Mycoplasma genitalium bacterium. However, this test procedure is not yet available in many practices. This is a real problem because there are significantly improved treatment options for an early diagnosis.

Genital mycoplasma leads to infertility in women

The sexually transmitted disease is already resistant to some drugs. So far, the drug macrolides, but unfortunately also decreases its effectiveness from further, the researchers report. If genital mycoplasma is not diagnosed in a timely manner and successfully treated in women, infertility may occur.

It must be proceeded more consistently against the disease

Health authorities should provide sufficient resources to prevent the emergence and spread of a new superhero. Without the means to properly diagnose the condition, or the possibility that people will come to check-ups in clinics, this infectious disease will never be defeated, the experts say. (As)
