A disease such as ureaplasmosis occurs due to the spread of unicellular bacteria of ureaplasmas. With the normal functioning of the body and good immunity, they will not cause any harm, because there is a natural defense. Thus, bacteria can not declare themselves for many years. But at the slightest disturbance of microflora, the ureaplasmas begin to multiply rapidly.
In our article you will learn how to treat this disease and which drugs will help kill bacteria.
What is a ureaplasmosis, symptoms, diagnosis
The causative agents of this disease were previously attributed to mycoplasma; however, in a separate subclass, medicine isolated them after their ability to break down urea was detected. The organisms that lead to ureaplasma are bacteria whose size is only 0.3 microns. They attach to leukocytes, epithelium, lead to the destruction of cell membranes, penetrate into the cytoplasm.
As a result of the presence of foreign organisms, inflammation of the organs of the urogenital system occurs, which is called ureaplasmosis. The disease has two forms: acute and chronic. The most common cause of occurrence is an intimate relationship with whoever carries the infection. In addition, the disease can be transmitted during pregnancy.
It is worth noting that the first few months the disease does not manifest itself, and the asymptomatic period can last up to 2-3 months. After that, itching, burning in the urethra can occur. After some time, heavy discharge begins to appear, pus, urine becomes turbid, it smells strange.
Further, the disease affects the prostate. Infection infects cells, destroys them, provokes the formation of enzymes that "digest" the mucous membrane of the urogenital system. This process is usually accompanied by pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen.
It should be noted that ureaplasma in men does not always lead to the development of the disease. In medical practice, there are often cases when there is a causative agent in the human body, but there is no disease itself. The doctor puts the diagnosis in the case when the number of microorganisms exceeds the norm.
To identify the bacterium, you need to use the PCR method, and the control test is also taken after treatment is carried out - 14 days later. Another method is bacteriological seeding, when the number of bacteria is assessed.
After receiving the result, experts will analyze the susceptibility of the microorganism to antibiotics, which will allow you to choose the most appropriate means.
There are some tips before passing the test:
- An analysis is done early in the morning.
- Before analysis, you need to abandon the intimate relationship, at least two days.
- Hygiene procedures should be carried out in the evening before the test, and not in the morning.
Proper treatment of ureaplasma in men
Treatment of this disease is a complex process that requires a systematic approach. Treatment can be considered complete only with the complete destruction of bacteria that lead to inflammation.
For this purpose, biostimulants are used, aimed at improving the immunity and normalizing the microflora of the urinary system of a man. Today in medicine there are a lot of effective approaches and methods, but in any case, visiting a doctor is indispensable. The basic treatment regimen is as follows:
Taking antibiotics. To fight the infection, most doctors prescribe treatment with Azithromycin, the course is five days. You need to drink a pill two hours before meals. The last, sixth dose is taken on the 11th day after the start of treatment.- Antibacterial therapy. Within two weeks, a man should take fluoroquinols - drugs that stop the spread of bacteria. Tablets need to be taken in doses of up to 0.5 g before breakfast and dinner. Also, doctors can prescribe Ciprofloxacin or Clarithromycin.
- Enhance immunity. To renew the body's defenses, men are prescribed Neovir, it must be taken every two days. Of the alternatives can be called an extract of echinacea.
- The use of biostimulants. Such drugs as, for example, Plasmol, are administered daily, 1 ml intravenously. The course is 10 days. You can also use aloe vera extract.
Taking antibiotics. To fight the infection, most doctors prescribe treatment with Azithromycin, the course is five days. You need to drink a pill two hours before meals. The last, sixth dose is taken on the 11th day after the start of treatment.After the end of the treatment, it is necessary to take means that accelerate the processes of cellular recovery. The most commonly prescribed drug is Methyluracil. It is effective, does not cause any complications.

Consequences of ureaplasmosis and proper prevention
According to recent studies, ureaplasmas are fixed on the surface of spermatozoa, slow down activity, destroy the inner shell. In severe cases, sperm are even destroyed.
