Patient's question:
Female: I found out I have mycoplasma after being pregnant for 3 months, but I want to have the child. Is it okay if it has no impact on the child? Now the doctor is treating my mycoplasma infection and has prescribed azithromycin. Will it have any effect on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Your situation is that you are 3 months pregnant and have been tested positive for mycoplasma infection. In such cases, it is best to know the specific time of infection. If the infection occurred 2 months after pregnancy, it may affect fetal development, and it is recommended not to carry this child. If the infection is recent, it may still be possible to carry the pregnancy.The period from 2 to 3 months of pregnancy is a critical time for fetal development. If there is any adverse stimulus during this period, including infection, it can easily lead to fetal malformation. However, if the infection occurs after 3 months of pregnancy, the fetus has already developed fully. While it may still be affected, it will not cause fetal malformation. Additionally, azithromycin is less safe than amoxicillin and other antibiotics.
