How to treat mycoplasma and chlamydia infections

Patient's question:

Medical Description: I am a 26-year-old female with no history of unsafe sex. However, I was diagnosed with Mycoplasma and Chlamydia infections during pre-pregnancy testing, though I have no symptoms. My husband is normal. A drug sensitivity test showed that I am sensitive only to tetracycline, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin. What medication should I take?
History of Treatment and Effects: I have not been treated yet. I have no history of drug allergies and have not taken medications such as azithromycin or doxycycline.
Help Needed: How should I be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Mycoplasma and Chlamydia infections are mostly transmitted through sexual activity. Severe cases may present with symptoms of urinary tract infection or cervicitis, while milder cases may be detected during health check-ups. Currently, the situation involves an infection with Mycoplasma and Chlamydia, requiring early treatment with macrolide-class medications for antichlamydial and anti-mycoplasma therapy. Additionally, regular exercise should be performed to enhance physical fitness. Both partners need to be treated simultaneously. Generally, antibiotics are ineffective, and erythromycin or azithromycin are primarily used. The minimum treatment duration is usually at least one week. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided.
