Patient's question:
HelloBecause of urethritis mycoplasma infection, I was given antibiotics for 9 days.
Now the antibiotics are not being administered anymore, but I occasionally still feel a bit itchy in the urethra.
May I ask what other medication I should take? How long should I take it? How should I take it?
Can this condition be cured? I'm so frustrated!
Doctor's answer:
After Mycoplasma infection, a drug sensitivity test is required to select sensitive drugs for treatment. Note that continuous follow-up for 3 months is necessary after treatment, with normal results required to meet the cure criteria. Moreover, Mycoplasma can be transmitted through sexual contact, so both partners should be tested and treated simultaneously. Sexual activity is prohibited during treatment, and personal hygiene should be maintained while avoiding irritating foods.If infected with Mycoplasma, intravenous drip treatment should last at least 7-10 days, with severe cases requiring treatment for 2 weeks. Intravenous drip alone is insufficient; it must be combined with intracavity medication and irrigation. Medication should be administered before and after each menstrual period (even after recovery, it must still be used) for a total of three months. If the result is (-), continuous follow-up of vaginal discharge (your husband should test urethral secretions) should be conducted for another three months. Only if all results remain (-) can the infection be considered cured.
