Patient's question:
My cousin went ice skating and came back feeling severe stomach pain. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with Mycoplasma vaginitis. Hello, can vaginitis caused by Mycoplasma infection be completely cured on its own?Doctor's answer:
Mycoplasma infection-induced vaginitis can often heal on its own. If vaginitis caused by mycoplasma is detected, treatment usually involves oral azithromycin, along with vaginal suppositories. Macrolides or tetracyclines can also be used for treatment. Generally, two courses of treatment are sufficient for complete recovery. During medication, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. It is important to follow the prescribed course of treatment and undergo a recheck one week after stopping the medication.In the future, avoid public swimming pools, ice skating rinks, or hot springs, as they can easily transmit infections similar to mycoplasma. If you engage in activities in these places, you may spread the infection through contaminated water. If you have vaginitis, follow your doctor's advice and take medication as prescribed.
