How many kinds of mycoplasma and chlamydia are there? The mycoplasma infecting urogenital system can be divided into three types: mycoplasma urealytium, mycoplasma ho-minis and mycoplasma genitalia. And there is a kind of mycoplasma which can infect respiratory system and induce pneumonia, called mycoplasma pneumonia. Therefore, In total, there are four types of mycoplasma. There is only one type of chlamydia, namely, chlamydia trachoma-tis which can infect our eyes and our urogenital system. Mycoplasma and chlamydia are found by humans in 1980s. We often call the disease infected by them chronic gonorrhea before we have a knowledge of mycoplasma and chlamydia.

The infection of mycoplasma and chlamydia is a big problem of the medical science. One of the reasons is that them are not easy to be detected. People are likely to ignore it. So the following would talk about the detections of mycoplasma and chlamydia.

The first method: we use the kit to check. The result is closely relative to the operation of the inspector and the material the inspector use. Sometimes, the patient do acquire mycoplasma or chlamydia, but the disease is not detected because the inspector is not familiar with the method. For males, it is better for them to check before morning urination. But some patients can not.

The second method: detect the antibody of mycoplasma and chlamydia in serum. This method is used by many hospital and some patients call me to ask “Is it accurate?” I think it is not as accurate as the detection of the secretion taking from urethral tract. In addition, by the present detection of antibody, we can’t classify it into several types. So that we can’t know the exact type of mycoplasma. As we all know, there are so many type of mycoplasma and some of them is harmful but some is harmless.

The third method: we can use PCR, namely, molecular biology. We can check the fragments of patient’s DNA to make sure if there is infection of mycoplasma or chlamydia in urogenital canal. But a lot of hospital do not have this technique right now. Besides, there is another deficiency of this method: if we have used medicine, even if the mycoplasma and chlamydia have been killed, the DNA would be retained in the body, then the result would still be positive.

Except all the above detections of mycoplasma and chlamydia, there are also many other methods to detect it. If you are diagnosed with mycoplasma infection or chlamydia infection,  you can take traditional Chinese medicine - “Fuyan pill” to treat it. It is made purely by traditional Chinese medicine and it has an evident curative effect on mycoplasma infection and chlamydia infection.
