With the increasing prevalence of health check-ups today, the detection rate of mycoplasma infection is also rising, causing considerable concern, especially among those preparing for pregnancy. Many individuals, including those who are not sexually active, may misunderstand mycoplasma infection, worrying that it is a sexually transmitted disease and that it will affect their fertility.

 

In fact, the routes of mycoplasma infection are not limited to sexual transmission. Mycoplasma are microorganisms that fall between bacteria and viruses in size and commonly reside in the urogenital system. Although sexual contact is the primary mode of transmission, mycoplasma can also exist normally in the human body, and when immunity declines, these microorganisms may overproliferate and cause infection. Therefore, even without a history of sexual activity, mycoplasma infection is not entirely impossible.

 

The symptoms of mycoplasma infection vary from person to person, and sometimes there are no obvious symptoms. Infected women may experience abnormal vaginal discharge (increased, thin), vaginitis, and other discomfort. Male patients may experience symptoms such as urethral pain, frequent urination, and urgent urination, and in severe cases, it can develop into chronic prostatitis. Ureaplasma urealyticum is particularly often associated with non-gonococcal urethritis. Once infection is diagnosed, timely and standardized antibiotic treatment is crucial, and it is essential to complete the entire course of treatment as directed by the doctor.

 

For men, mycoplasma infection may have a potential impact on fertility. Studies have shown that mycoplasma infection may not only lead to a decrease in sperm count but also affect sperm motility, increase the rate of abnormal sperm morphology, and ultimately reduce the chances of natural conception. Under normal circumstances, sperm quality usually takes about three months to gradually recover after treatment. Men preparing for pregnancy should pay attention to healthy lifestyle habits, ensure adequate rest and moderate exercise, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy and irritating foods to facilitate physical recovery.

 

For women, if mycoplasma infection is not treated promptly, it may lead to various reproductive tract diseases such as urethritis, cervicitis, endometritis, and even salpingitis, which can affect the patency of the fallopian tubes and increase the risk of infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women who are infected with mycoplasma should receive standardized treatment as soon as possible, pay attention to personal hygiene during treatment, and avoid sexual activity and spicy and irritating foods to effectively control the infection and reduce the potential impact on fertility. For women planning to undergo egg freezing in Mexico, the health of the reproductive tract is equally important.

Mycoplasma infection has become one of the common factors affecting fertility, especially in the fast-paced modern life where stress, staying up late, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can lead to decreased immunity and increased risk of infection. For couples planning to have children, it is crucial to understand and properly address health issues such as mycoplasma infection in a timely manner.
