Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have vaginitis, moderate cervical erosion, and positive Mycoplasma. Chlamydia was not an issue. The hospital prescribed both internal and external medications. I went to another hospital, where the doctor said for the treatment of Mycoplasma, I needed to receive intravenous drips every day for 15 days, as medication alone would not be effective. For vaginitis and cervical erosion, low-intensity laser therapy 3-5 times would be sufficient to cure them. This, combined with the drips, would cost 3,000-4,000 yuan. I then went to another traditional Chinese medicine hospital, where the doctor said medication alone could treat the condition. The treatment should start with Mycoplasma, followed by vaginitis and cervical erosion, and prescribed both internal and external medications. I want to know the truth.Doctor's answer:
It can be transmitted through sexual activity and close contact. Mycoplasma infection is primarily spread through sexual transmission, commonly occurring during the peak sexual activity period in young individuals, especially after unprotected sex. Of course, indirect contact can also lead to transmission. Both partners should be treated simultaneously, or the other party should also be examined. Avoid sexual activity during treatment. Medications such as Minocycline and Erythromycin can be taken. Both Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum can cause urogenital infections. They are resistant to penicillin. For cervical erosion, physical therapy is the best approach, which can include methods such as microwave or laser treatment.
