What are the effects of Ureaplasma urealyticum being positive?

Patient's question:

Ureaplasma urealyticum positive, can you get pregnant? Will it have an impact?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of mycoplasma infection in women are as follows:
First, in the early stages of infection, it generally affects the vagina and cervix. These organs develop an inflammatory response, leading to increased secretions.
Second, abnormal discharge odor may occur, and some may feel mild discomfort in the reproductive tract.
Third, if left untreated, the infection will continue to spread. It can cause endometritis, swelling of cilia in the fallopian tubes, and damage the physiological functions of these organs. This directly affects sperm entry into the uterus and fallopian tubes, as well as the fertilization of ova, disrupting the normal development of the fertilized egg. Even if pregnancy occurs, it may easily lead to embryonic death, fetal death, miscarriage, or low birth weight.
Fourth, infection with Mycoplasma genitalium can also cause conditions such as pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, postpartum fever after abortion, postpartum fever, and non-gonococcal urethritis.
Mycoplasma infection is also a sexually transmitted disease, with women being more commonly affected. When treating this condition, it is essential to seek medical attention as early as possible.
