Patient's question:
I used to have a Mycoplasma positive infection, but I have now recovered and have been off medication for 3 months. I want to know how long I need to wait before getting pregnant. If I get pregnant now, will it affect the baby? Because I saw online that you need to wait 3-6 months after stopping medication before considering pregnancy, but my doctor told me that you only need to wait one month after stopping medication. Which one is correct?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a positive Mycoplasma test result is not normal, indicating an infection with Mycoplasma. It is recommended to postpone pregnancy for the time being and undergo treatment first. Once the condition is cured, you can then consider pregnancy to prevent potential impact on the child's healthy development. Additionally, Mycoplasma infection can be contagious, so it is advisable to abstain from sexual activity during the illness. Treatment with anti-inflammatory medications such as Azithromycin or Erythromycin can be used. Symptomatic treatment can also be administered based on clinical symptoms. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests such as Mycoplasma antibody tests to assess the specific situation and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
