Patient's question:
Because there was bleeding during cohabitation, I went to the hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination and was found to have polyps. At the same time, my mycoplasma test was positive. The doctor prescribed fluconazole capsules, Hui Ren clarithromycin tablets, mefenamic acid capsules, vitamin B6 tablets, and another medicine in a small bag. The doctor also asked me to undergo 10 days of physical and photodynamic therapy, as well as medication and cleaning (90 yuan per session). I would like to ask the expert: Is the medicine prescribed by the doctor appropriate for my condition? Do I need to undergo the 90 yuan per session treatment? Is the treatment cost reasonable? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Mycoplasma are the smallest organisms capable of independent survival, lacking a cell wall and existing between bacteria and viruses. The mycoplasmas that infect humans are primarily Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum, which are the most common. Mycoplasma hominis infection can cause vaginitis, cervicitis, and salpingitis, while Ureaplasma urealyticum is associated with non-gonococcal urethritis. The main mode of transmission is through sexual contact. Pregnant women infected with mycoplasmas are at higher risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, or stillbirth.
