Patient's question:
If you are pregnant but have genital mycoplasma, will it affect the child?Doctor's answer:
In cases of mycoplasma infection, it is recommended to be cured before pregnancy. Mycoplasma infection can lead to various adverse pregnancy outcomes (such as miscarriage, low birth weight, etc.), non-gonococcal urethritis, various gynecological inflammatory diseases, male infertility, epididymitis, prostatitis, etc. It can also infect the fetus through the placenta, affecting the newborn. Moreover, it may cause infertility. Mycoplasma infection does not inherit to the fetus and does not have a clear teratogenic effect, but it can easily lead to premature rupture of membranes, resulting in premature birth.
