Ureaplasma Vaginitis Causes, Symptoms And Herbal Treatment

Abstract

Ureaplasma is a type of bacteria commonly found in the genital or urinary tract. It usually doesn’t cause problems, but it can contribute to certain infections and other conditions that can lead to pain, discharge, or difficulty getting pregnant. It is unique among bacteria because it has no cell wall. Inflammation of the vagina is called vaginitis. In adults, inflammation often affects the vulva and peri vulvar structures and spreads through the vagina to the cervix without the intrinsic involvement of the vagina. In this article, we are going to discuss the cause, symptoms and treatment of Ureaplasma Vaginitis.

Ureaplasma Vaginitis – Causes, Symptoms, Prevention & Ayurvedic Treatment

ABSTRACT

Ureaplasma are bacteria groups which reside in the urogenital and respiratory tract of humans. These microorganisms are freely found in nature and in the human body; helps in fighting infection, digestion and mainly keeps reproductive health in check. Normally these microorganisms are harmless but when their quantity increases to more than normal then they form colonies & inflame the surrounding cells/tissue thus leading to infection. This infection may lead to bacterial vaginosis termed as “ureaplasma vaginitis”. Let’s discuss it in detail!

INTRODUCTION

Infection due to Ureaplasma gets transmitted from one person to another mainly via sexual activity. It enters the body via the urethra or vagina and can also pass to the child from the mother during childbirth. As we know that these bacteria are already present in our body normally, we can say that a weak immune system may result in overgrowth of these microorganisms. Ureaplasma vaginitis is a STI/STD (sexually transmitted disease) as it spreads via sexual activity. Ureaplasma belongs to the class of mycoplasma which are the smallest organisms of their type known to man. These classes of bacteria do not have any outer cell wall hence are resistant to various common antibiotics and also to penicillin. Thus this condition of ureaplasma is very tricky to cure. One must firstly try to avoid having such communicable infection by using proper preventive measures and if the infection is caught then must get treated at the earliest.

Ureaplasma Vaginitis

CAUSES

Mainly ureaplasma vaginitis spreads to one another via sexual contact, via urethra and vagina. It can also pass to the baby from the mother during delivery. People with an immune system, or patients who take immunosuppressants are more susceptible to ureaplasma infection.

SYMPTOMS

Most patients  do not experience any symptoms and may act as carriers. Symptoms are as follows-

  1. Pain during micturition
  2. Burning sensation
  3. Vaginal or urethral discharge
  4. Bad odour
  5. Inflammation

COMPLICATIONS

  1. Premature labour (not the ureaplasma itself causes premature delivery but the symptoms like infection of cervix, vagina, inflammation may lead to preterm childbirth)
  2. Increased risk of kidney stones
  3. Respiratory problems in newborns
  4. Premature rupture of foetal membrane
  5. Chorioamnionitis
  6. Funisitis

DIAGNOSIS

  1. Urine routine- analysation of urine for presence of any kind of bacterial infection in the urine.
  2. Swab test- a sample from vagina, anus, throat, cervix is taken using a swab for testing for any infection.
  3. Endometrial swab
  4. Endometrial biopsy- A small tissue piece is taken out of endometrium for cell culture to rule out infection

Prevention

  1. Use condoms- One must use condoms or femedoms during intercourse are the first line of defence against various infections such as H.I.V, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, ureaplasma vaginitis etc.
  2. Limit your number of sex partners- do not have multiple sexual partners as it increases the chances of ureaplasma infection.
  3.  Get regular screenings- Person who is more sexually active should get tested for STDs on a regular basis.
  4. Avoid douching- Douching is a vaginal cleansing procedure which must be avoided because it alters the normal flora of vagina which increases the chances of infection.

AYURVEDIC OVERVIEW OF UREAPLASMA VAGINITIS

Vaginitis is the commonest  gynaecological problem reported by women. In Ayurveda diseases of the female reproductive system are  mainly explained under “yoni vyapad”. Vaginal candidiasis, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis (ureaplasma vaginitis) are some common types of vaginal infections. Main cardinal symptoms of Yoni vyapad are:-

  1. Yoni srava (vaginal discharge)
  2. Yoni kaṇḍu (itching)
  3. Daurgandhya (bad odour)

In Ayurvedic classics vitiation of vata dosha (kinetic energy) is said to be the main cause of this condition. Even though ancient scripture directs towards vata vitiation, there is an equal role of other two doshas – pitta and kapha (thermal and potential energy). Vitiation of vata dosha causes symptoms like pain , inflammation etc whereas burning sensation, bad odour, suppuration, fever like symptoms are due to the pitta imbalance. Kapha vitiation causes white discharge, mucoid secretions, itching and feeling of cold etc. Due to this vitiation of doshas there is imbalance in the flora of vagina i.e the acidic nature of vagina changes to basic hence causing an increased number of ureaplasma bacteria causing the infection. Also STDs and other communicable diseases are kept under “AGANTUJA VYADHI” in ayurveda.
