Patient's question:
Semen test, Mycoplasma positive. The doctor said: The current azithromycin is not effective, and prescribed Biafu. I see that the doctors here say azithromycin is effective. I would like to ask the experts, is azithromycin really not effective? Or is it that the doctors in the hospital prescribe expensive and good drugs to increase their income?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally azithromycin can be used to treat mycoplasma infection.Mycoplasma infection in women is a common gynecological sexually transmitted disease. This disease is usually transmitted through sexual activity, but some patients may also be infected through other means. For example, sharing clothes, bedding, towels, bathtubs, and toilets with mycoplasma-infected individuals. Therefore, the probability of women contracting mycoplasma infection is relatively high.
If it is the first time a person is infected with mycoplasma and they are not resistant to antibiotics, antibiotics can be used to treat the infection. However, long-term use of antibiotics can lead to resistance, making the condition difficult to cure and prone to recurrence, and it may also cause some impact on liver and kidney function. Therefore, if the infection cannot be cured in the short term with antibiotics, and if the patient has experienced multiple episodes, it is best to use a good traditional Chinese medicine formula for regulation and treatment. Patent medicines like traditional Chinese medicine can be used, which are relatively conservative and thorough.
Women with mycoplasma infection typically experience the following symptoms. In the early stages of infection, women may exhibit some vaginal discomfort symptoms, such as increased vaginal discharge and abnormal odor. Therefore, timely detection and treatment can also help in early recovery.
