No official medical reference contains no mention of ureoplazmoz, mikroplazmoze or bacterial vaginosis. What are these strange names and whether to treat them?
Scientists believe any of these diagnoses implies a long and pointless treatment that can harm the body.
The microflora of the vagina contains about three hundred species of bacteria. Lactobacillus, producing hydrogen peroxide, provide protection against infections in normal acidic environment. For opportunistic bacteria to include representatives of ureaplasma, microplasma and gardnerella. Their active reproduction can cause inflammation. For this reason, the detected bacteria are seen as pathological.
The concept ureoplazmoz
Average number of bacteria Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum harmlessly and can not disturb the menstrual cycle or complicate pregnancy.
Ureaplasma bacteria can be members of inflammation, and the more often they are found in the bladder or kidney. This may be one of the causes of urethritis, pyelonephritis, cystitis. However, the diagnosis "ureoplazmoz" not found in nature. For this reason, we can not completely get rid of the bacteria when they are detected in the assays. The absence of unpleasant symptoms or research says the number of microorganisms that violations of the genitourinary system is not.
The concept of mycoplasma
2 genitals contain pathogenic microorganism among microplasmas. Both types of bacteria have different properties, which suggests that a generalized diagnosis mikroplazmoza inapplicable.
Mycoplasma genitalium It refers to infections, sexually transmitted. This disease is curable. Symptomatology: pain and bleeding after sexual intercourse, copious vaginal area. Smear on the polymerase chain reaction can easily detect this microplasma, without requiring additional research.
Mycoplasma hominis with normal immunity is not able to activate inflammation, and very rarely involved in bacterial vaginosis. The presence of this type of bacteria as part of a smear can not be taken as a signal of disease, if there are no symptoms of it.
The concept of bacterial vaginosis
Gardnerella vaginalis can be found in every second analysis on the smear. The microorganism involved in bacterial vaginosis, not being the main culprit for this disease. The study of the causes of the disease is not over, but it can not be taken as bacterial vaginosis. Treatment process must be directed at a group of pathogenic bacteria. Gardnerelly are only a part of it.
If one of the diagnoses are considered in the absence of symptoms is desirable to consult with experts in the treatment of existing conditions, and not assays.
