Patient's question:
I occasionally have a raised symptom on the right side of my urethral meatus. The symptom disappears after retracting the foreskin for one or two minutes. There are no other symptoms. Today, I saw that my mycoplasma culture test result is positive (+-). I bought a pack of azithromycin dispersible tablets (Yare, 6 tablets). But I don’t know whether I should take them or not. I also don’t know how much to take. Some experts believe that mycoplasma does not need to be treated because it can easily disrupt the balance of the microbiome. I don’t know if this statement is correct. Moreover, I’m afraid of developing drug resistance. I have no sexual history. I don’t go to public baths. There are no people with sexually transmitted diseases around me. I don’t know what the cause is. I am very confused right now. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can take azithromycin. It can also be transmitted without sexual contact.
