Infertility threat – The sexually transmitted disease resistant and largely unknown spreads rapidly

Why do bad mycoplasmas spread?

British experts warn against the spread of a relatively new transmissible badually transmitted disease. In the future, this could lead thousands of women to become infertile each year. In fact, the disease can be easily treated with antibiotics, but the resistance of venereal disease against antibiotics continues to increase.

Scientists from the National Health Service (NHS) in England found in their current study that the badually transmitted disease called Genital Mycoplasma develops increasing resistance to antibiotics. If this continues to increase, thousands of women could become infertile each year. Doctors have published a guide on "NHS Choices" on the subject.

What is bad mycoplasma?

Against Sexually Transmitted Diseases Genital mycoplasma only helps condoms. The disease is sometimes difficult to determine for those affected because it has no symptoms in some people. Genital mycoplasmas are triggered by the bacterium Mycoplasma badium. Mycoplasma badium can cause very painful urethritis in both men and women. Men can detect it by burning hard while urinating. In addition, badl discharge, arthritis and an inflamed pelvis may develop, say the doctors. British experts now warn of an epidemic if people are not better informed about the disease.

The disease is often treated with bad doses of antibiotics

The disease is often confused with chlamydia and then treated with bad doses of antibiotics, experts say. This leads to an accumulation of dangerous antibiotic resistance. This approach to treatment should not be pursued as this will undoubtedly lead to a public health emergency with the emergence of a new super-pathogen, the researchers point out.

The test procedure is not yet available in many practices

effective test, which can detect infection with the bacterium Mycoplasma badium. However, this test procedure is not yet available in many practices. This is a real problem because early diagnosis is much better.

Genital mycoplasmas lead to infertility in women

The badually transmitted disease is already resistant to certain drugs. Until now, macrolide drugs, but unfortunately also decreases its effectiveness in addition, the researchers report. If bad mycoplasmas are not diagnosed and treated successfully in time, infertility can occur in women.

One must be more consistent with the disease

Health authorities should provide enough resources to prevent the emergence and spread of a new superhero. Without the means to properly diagnose the condition or the opportunity to come to clinics for preventive care, this infectious disease will never be defeated, experts say. (As)
