- inflammatory processes in the uterus and appendages;
- cystitis;
- premature birth or spontaneous abortion.

How to treat ureaplasma during pregnancy?
Many women are wondering whether to treat ureaplasma, if it appeared during pregnancy? After all, in this case, you need to take medication, and this is harmful to the health of the baby. But all doctors have an unequivocal answer - they need to be treated! It is known that the treatment of ureaplasma is carried out with the help of antibiotics, and in pregnant women it is no different. Yes, such drugs can harm the fetus, but ureaplasmosis can do much more harm:
- on early terms leads to miscarriage or a stiff pregnancy;
- on late terms causes premature birth;
- promotes the development of fetoplacental insufficiency, which slows the intrauterine development of the fetus, causes hypoxia and disrupts the utero-placental
blood flow; - affects the nasopharynx and genital organs of the child during childbirth, as a result of which in the postpartum period the baby can develop purulent-aseptic complications (endometritis).
But antibiotic treatment is possible only after the twenty-second week. At pregnancy on earlier terms doctors prescribe treatment by special candles from a ureaplasma. These can be the Hexicon D, Genferon, Wilprafen, and some other suppositories. BUT it is important to remember that independent treatment during pregnancy is contraindicated, and before taking any medications it is worth consulting with a doctor.
