Does being positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum in men affect pregnancy?

The modern economy is developing at a rapid pace, and many young people are so busy living that they ignore their own health problems. I usually don’t pay attention to taking good care of my body, and I regret it when I want to have a baby after getting married. Having a baby is a matter for two people. Although general problems are more likely to occur in women, male friends cannot ignore their own health problems. So, can men get pregnant if they test positive for Ureaplasma?

Can men get pregnant if they test positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum?

There are reports that Ureaplasma infection is related to 15% of male infertility. Some data show that the infection is related to infertility in some patients. The diagnosis rate of Ureaplasma in couples with unclear causes of infertility is 40% to 58% for men. Statistics show that male patients infected with Ureaplasma have significantly reduced sperm motility, sperm motility and density, but a significant increase in abnormal sperm. In recent years, infertility caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum infection has attracted great attention from the medical community. Chlamydia urealyticum (UU) infection can cause male infertility, which is manifested by poor sperm liquefaction, reduced male sperm motility and motility, and an increase in abnormal sperm. Ureaplasma can directly invade spermatogenic cells, affect the meiosis process, and affect the production and perfection of male sperm; it can directly or indirectly fuse with the structural domains on the surface of male sperm and connect to each other, causing the sperm to become coiled and deformed, with sharp mouth, head and tail. There are various deformities such as hems and neck swelling. At the same time, because a large amount of uu is absorbed on the surface of the sperm, the sperm becomes "loose" from the streamline shape, which increases the resistance of the sperm when it moves forward and makes the sperm move very slowly.

Chlamydia infection in the male reproductive system can be transmitted to women through sexual intercourse, causing urinary tract infections in women and infertility in women. Therefore, infertile couples should be tested for Chlamydia. Therefore, for miscarriages with unclear causes, especially those with multiple miscarriages, the possibility of Ureaplasma infection should be considered. Inflammatory adhesion of the fallopian tube caused by incomplete obstruction caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum infection can make the tube lumen narrow and unobstructed, which is also an important cause of ectopic pregnancy.
