Introduction
Vulvovaginal inflammation, characterized by erythema of the vulva and increased vaginal discharge. The inflammation may ascend to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing abdominal pain or even systemic symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease such as fever. Since mycoplasma is a normal resident pathogen in the human body, it only becomes pathogenic and triggers inflammatory responses when host immunity is compromised or microbial flora is imbalanced.

Some women who do not pay attention to personal intimate hygiene in daily life may develop gynecological inflammations, such as vaginal itching and increased secretions. Without timely treatment, these conditions can lead to symptoms of genital mycoplasma infection. What are the symptoms of gynecological mycoplasma infection?

What Are the Symptoms of Gynecological Mycoplasma Infection?

Vulvovaginal inflammation, manifested as redness and swelling of the vulva and increased vaginal discharge. The inflammation may spread upward to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing abdominal pain or even systemic symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease such as fever. Since mycoplasma is a common resident pathogen in the human body, it only becomes pathogenic when the body's immunity is low or there is microbial imbalance, triggering an inflammatory response. During certain sexual activities, the pathogen can be transmitted from one partner to another. Women should maintain good sexual hygiene, avoid unsafe sex, refrain from having multiple sexual partners, and seek prompt medical care if symptoms appear. In particular, patients with recurrent vaginitis should be evaluated for possible mycoplasma or even chlamydia infection and receive timely treatment.

Causes of mycoplasma infection may include transmission of pathogens due to unhygienic sexual practices. The female vaginal opening is close to the urethra and anus, and menstrual blood serves as a good culture medium for bacteria. A decline in immunity may also allow mycoplasma to invade. Mycoplasma infection is often accompanied by symptoms such as itching, foul odor, increased leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), and sometimes lower abdominal pain.

Alcohol and spicy foods: Patients with genital mycoplasma infection should avoid consuming alcohol and spicy foods. Spicy foods can easily stimulate blood vessels, aggravating local congestion and swelling, and may promote internal heat. According to traditional Chinese medicine, mycoplasma infection is mostly caused by accumulation of damp-heat. Therefore, consuming such foods may worsen the internal heat condition and lead to disease progression. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness.
