Patient's question:
Hello:After taking oral medication for mycoplasma infection, do I still need to apply medication vaginally? If so, what medication should I use—is it a suppository related to treating mycoplasma?
After mycoplasma infection, it has caused me lower back pain on both sides and under the ribs, as well as loose stools. Do I need treatment? What medication should I use? If I don’t take medication, will the symptoms of mycoplasma infection naturally disappear once it’s cured?
Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Ureaplasma infection can be treated with medications such as azithromycin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, and levofloxacin. Pay attention to hygiene, as Ureaplasma can be transmitted between individuals. Clinical symptoms can be considered for the use of topical medications under the guidance of a doctor, and symptoms may disappear. The treatment for this condition primarily involves antimicrobial therapy, with oral azithromycin or doxycycline being effective options. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's dermatology department for examination to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. During the illness, sexual contact should be avoided. If you have a partner, it is best for both of you to be examined and treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection.
