Ureaplasma is a sexual infection, which in many women has a latent course. Some scientists are of the opinion that ureaplasmas are representatives of the female conditionally pathogenic flora, which is always present in their body. They begin to become more active and multiply when immunity decreases. Ureaplasmas cause an inflammatory reaction in the organs of the genitourinary system.
What does ureaplasma mean?
Ureaplasma is a bacterium that is a cross between protozoa and viruses. According to its characteristics and dimensions, it seems to occupy an intermediate link. Bacteria are able to easily penetrate the organs of the genitourinary system of a woman. There are ideal conditions for their reproduction and development.
As mentioned above, ureaplasma is perceived by many scientists as an opportunistic pathogen. It is found in a vaginal smear in 60% of women who do not have any symptoms of the disease. In this case, the patient is not prescribed therapy.
