of the abdomen"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Mycoplasma of the abdomen is due to a bacterium that can be transmitted when you have intercourse.&nbsp;Common symptoms are that it stings when you pee and that you have floats, itching or bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mycoplasma<\/strong> is not included in the\u00a0\u00a0Infection Protection Act.\u00a0This means that you have to pay for the treatment yourself.\u00a0You also don&#8217;t need to do an infection tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of mycoplasma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have mycoplasma without having any symptoms, but you may have some or all of these <strong>symptoms of mycoplasma<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It stings when you pee.<\/li><li>You have flooded from the penis.<\/li><li>You have different movements from the vagina.<\/li><li>You have intermediate bleeding.<\/li><li>You have lower abdominal pain.<\/li><li>You&#8217;re hurting your scrotum.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I seek care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have symptoms that you believe are due to mycoplasma,\u00a0contact a\u00a0health center,\u00a0youth clinic\u00a0or skin, and genital clinic.\u00a0You can contact many receptions by\u00a0logging in.\u00a0You can seek care at any health center, youth center or skin and gender clinic you want throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin and gender receptions are called different things in different parts of the country.&nbsp;For example, they may be referred to as venereal, genital, STD, STI, or Sesame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the reception, you get to meet a midwife, doctor or nurse.\u00a0You are told how you feel and when and how you have had sex.\u00a0This is to allow them to assess how likely you are to have mycoplasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often you have to pass a\u00a0urine sample.\u00a0You can also have samples from the vagina or rectum.\u00a0Sometimes you have to take the test yourself with a top inside the toilet on reception.\u00a0Sometimes a doctor or midwife takes the test.\u00a0Where the samples are taken depends on how you have had sex and where you may have received mycoplasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It usually takes about a week before you get the test answer.\u00a0You can get it by phone or letter, talk to the person taking the test of how you want the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it turns out that you have <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">mycoplasma<\/span>, the person (s) you have had sex with will also need to test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important to understand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to be able to participate in your care and make decisions, it is\u00a0important that you understand the information you receive from the healthcare staff.\u00a0Ask questions if you don&#8217;t understand.\u00a0You can also ask to have the information printed to read it peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment of mycoplasma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mycoplasma with symptoms is treated with antibiotics.\u00a0You may also have mycoplasma which does not cause symptoms.\u00a0Then it does not always need to be treated.\u00a0Discuss with a doctor if you know you have mycoplasma but have not had symptoms of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, you take antibiotics for five days.\u00a0You should not have sex while you are taking the antibiotic, as there is still a risk that you will pass the mycoplasm to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have finished the treatment, mycoplasma usually has healed.\u00a0Sometimes you may be allowed to leave another test after the treatment, to be sure that mycoplasma is gone.\u00a0If the infection spreads, it can lead to\u00a0fallopian tubes and oesophagitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I protect myself from mycoplasma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a condom if you have intercourse in the vagina or anal opening.&nbsp;Use a condom if you use a dildo with someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More about mycoplasm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mycoplasm is a bacterium.\u00a0There are different <em>types of mycoplasma<\/em> bacteria.\u00a0Among others, one that causes pneumonia and one that causes mycoplasma in the genital area.\u00a0The person who causes mycoplasma in the genital area is called Mycoplasma genitalium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mycoplasma genitalium is found in the mucous membranes, especially the urethra and vagina.\u00a0The bacterium may also be present in the rectum and in the eyes, but it is rarer.\u00a0The bacterium is transmitted between people when the mucous membranes come into contact with each other when you have sex.\u00a0The bacteria can also be transmitted through semen or slit secretions.\u00a0The most common way to get or give any mycoplasma is through vaginal intercourse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mycoplasma of the abdomen
