Is Mycoplasma infection serious?

Patient's question:

Symptoms: Dysuria, Itching
I went to the hospital for a culture test of urethral secretions.
Results: Chlamydia Positive
Gonococcus Negative
I would like to ask what disease this is
Is it serious?
How can it be treated

Doctor's answer:

Mycoplasma infection can be transmitted through sexual contact or indirectly through contact with hands, towels, clothing, bathtubs, toilet facilities, and swimming pools. Sexual activity and poor hygiene habits can increase the risk of infection. The key to preventing infection is maintaining self-discipline and practicing good personal hygiene.
Mycoplasma infection can cause endometritis, swelling of the cilia in the fallopian tubes, leading to damage to the physiological functions of these organs. This directly affects sperm entry into the uterus and fallopian tubes, impacting fertilization and the normal development of the fertilized egg. Pregnancy may result in embryonic death, fetal death, miscarriage, or low birth weight. It can also lead to diseases such as pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, postpartum fever, and non-gonococcal urethritis.
