Patient's question:
Urgency and dysuria have been present for over a year. Recently, I've been experiencing these symptoms again, and a detailed examination revealed a positive result for Ureaplasma urealyticum. The doctor prescribed doxycycline hydrochloride and effervescent tablets. After taking them for 12 days, I felt very uncomfortable but noticed no improvement. What should I do if I have urgency and dysuria with a positive Ureaplasma urealyticum test?Doctor's answer:
Ureaplasma urealyticum is found in the urinary tract, female vaginal, cervical mucosa, and gonads, and the diseases it causes are called non-gonococcal urethritis, non-gonococcal vaginitis, non-gonococcal cervicitis, non-gonococcal prostatitis, etc. It is one of the sexually transmitted diseases. Ureaplasma urealyticum is positive and can be completely cured. It can be treated with antibiotics such as erythromycin. A common regimen is azithromycin 0.5 mg, taken once daily, for a course of 5-7 days. It can also be combined with a new one to prevent recurrence. The course of treatment is preferably longer.
