Does Mycoplasma (Chlamydia) infection really affect pregnancy and childbirth?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Whether Mycoplasma (Chlamydia) infection will ultimately affect pregnancy and fertility, the doctor said it's okay, but some information makes me very anxious
History of previous diagnosis and treatment, as well as effectiveness: Had a check-up at the hospital, but didn't feel any discomfort. Previously had a vaginal candidiasis, occasional discomfort
Current general condition: It seems the inflammation has not completely disappeared

Doctor's answer:

Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a general term for urethritis caused by sexual transmission, specifically due to mycoplasma or chlamydia. Clinically, many cases are caused by indirect transmission. As long as you cooperate with your doctor and strictly follow medical advice, NGU can be cured. Since the growth cycle of chlamydia is long, a longer course of medication is necessary. Additionally, because NGU is prone to mixed infections with other pathogens, a broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy should be adopted. Azithromycin and gatifloxacin are the preferred treatments, lasting for one week, and it is emphasized that the medication must be continuous and uninterrupted. The medication should be regular, sufficient, and thorough. At the same time, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and it is advisable to drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
