Patient's question:
Doctor:I have had mycoplasma infection. After treatment, I have been tested negative for 3 consecutive months.
My husband has also taken medication and his test result is negative.
Could you please tell me if a negative test result for my husband means he has been cured?
Can we get pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
After women become pregnant, the increase in progesterone inhibits cellular immunity, leading to a decline in the body's resistance and making them more susceptible to ureaplasma infection. Ureaplasma-induced perinatal infection has become a new issue faced by modern obstetrics. Ureaplasma can be transmitted vertically through the placenta or spread upwards from the lower genital tract of pregnant women, causing intrauterine infection. Both routes can lead to a series of adverse outcomes, including miscarriage, preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight infants, premature rupture of membranes, and even intrauterine fetal death. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when planning to have a child.
