Can Kissing Make People Infected with Mycoplasma Urealytium?

 

 

Kissing often spreads respiratory diseases like tuberculosis, herpangina, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis. For example, though the common ways that patients with syphilis transmit the virus are sexual contact, vertical transmission, and blood transmission, it can also be transmitted through other ways, including kissing. 

 

When kissing, one spreads treponema pallidum through saliva and makes the other infected with syphilis. Mycoplasma urealyticum is the only species in the genus Ureaplasma, and it gets this name because it requires urea for growth. It is an infection of the genitourinary system, so the possibility of transmitting mycoplasma urealyticum through kissing is minimal.

 

 

1. Dirty sex. Dirty sex and multiple sexual partners can cause sexual transmission, leading to mycoplasma urealyticum infection.

 

2. Poor hygiene habits. For example, washing underwear rarely, not washing hands after using the toilet and before meals, using unclean bed mattresses in hotels, taking a bath in hot springs and swimming, etc. can cause mycoplasma urealyticum infection.

 

3. Surgical trauma. Irregular or excessive vaginal manipulation can cause damage to the integrity of the vaginal mucosa, resulting in dysbiosis of the microbiota, which can lead to mycoplasma urealyticum infection.

 

4. Abuse of antibiotics. Mycoplasma urealyticum can live in a healthy human body, and the abuse of antibiotics can bring about dysbacteriosis of vaginal bacteria and mycoplasma urealyticum infection.

 

This infection occurs predominantly in females. Females are more likely to have genital inflammation centered on the cervix. Most patients have no apparent symptoms, and a few with severe symptoms have a sense of vaginal drop. When the infection expands to the urethra, frequent urination and urgency are the main symptoms that attract patients' attention. The disease is mainly confined to the cervix and manifests as increased leucorrhea, opacity, cervical edema, congestion, or surface erosion.

 

 

Vaginitis: Patients show visible and increased leucorrhea, a milky white or yellowish-white thin liquid. 

 

Urethritis: The manifestations are frequent urination, urgency, pain in urine, burning sensation of urethra and dysuria, increased urethral discharge, redness and swelling outside the urethra, and tenderness along the urethra, which can cause inflammation of the upper urinary tract.

 

Pelvic inflammatory disease: The symptoms are often acute or subacute salpingitis and endometritis. There can be chills, high fever, abdominal pain, muscle tension and tenderness, pelvic mass, and increased leucorrhea accompanied by turbidity, pus, and smell.

 

Cervicitis: The manifestations include cervical congestion, edema, and cervical erosion changes in severe conditions, often accompanied by yellow and white vaginal purulent discharge, contact bleeding, and other symptoms.

 

Vulva pruritus: Vulva pruritus is seen more in clitoris, monsveneris, labia and can gradually affect areas around the anus. Patients with severe symptoms may present with restlessness, skin thickening, scratches, blood scabs, and mossy sclerosis.

 

Mycoplasma urealyticum is infected mainly through sexual contact. Therefore, people should pay attention to personal nursing hygiene and maintaining clean sex life. Once infected, it is necessary to abstain from sex during treatment and try to wash the underwear separately. Taking proper antibiotics under the guidance of doctors is also recommended. 

 

Meanwhile, improving one's immunity and resistance to bacteria and mycoplasma is essential.

With no toxic said effects, it is pretty conducive for treating inflammations in the cervix, uterus, pelvic cavity, ovary, and so on, relieving the pain of females.
