Influence of Mycoplasma Positive on the Success Rate of IVF

IVF is a method of assisted reproduction through in vitro fertilization, which has become an important means to solve the problem of infertility. However, positive mycoplasma may have an impact on the success rate of IVF.

1. Adverse reproductive health effects caused by mycoplasma

Mycoplasma is a common sexually transmitted pathogen, mainly infecting the female reproductive tract. Mycoplasma positive can cause gynecological inflammation, such as cervicitis and adnexitis, which seriously affects the normal function of the reproductive system. Mycoplasma infection may lead to tubal obstruction and endometriosis, making it difficult to fertilize and implant eggs, thus reducing the success rate of IVF.

According to the data from a top three hospital in China, it takes a long time for mycoplasma positive women to conceive successfully in the IVF cycle, and the early abortion rate and implantation failure rate are relatively high.

In addition, mycoplasma infection may also lead to a decline in the quality of male sperm, affecting sperm vitality and quantity, and thus reducing the fertilization rate of IVF.

2. Diagnosis and treatment of mycoplasma infection

The diagnosis of mycoplasma infection mainly relies on PCR technology to detect urethral secretion, cervical secretion, semen and other samples. If mycoplasma is found positive before test tube babies, anti infection treatment is recommended to ensure the health of the reproductive tract environment.

Some hospitals also provide special treatment schemes, such as local antibiotic drip, oral anti infective drugs or enema anti infective treatment. During treatment, the patient needs to avoid sexual life, maintain rest and promote healing.

After treatment, it is necessary to detect again whether mycoplasma is cleared. If the test is still positive, it is recommended to postpone the IVF cycle and continue treatment until the infection is completely cleared.

3. Measures to increase the success rate of mycoplasma positive female test tube babies

For women with positive mycoplasma infection, in order to improve the success rate of IVF, doctors may take the following measures:

First, pelvic cavity cleaning and support treatment should be carried out to remove pathogens in the reproductive tract and restore the normal environment of the reproductive system.

Secondly, according to the specific situation, appropriate assisted reproductive techniques, such as frozen embryo transfer, should be adopted. By freezing embryos, we can avoid the IVF cycle during the active period of mycoplasma infection, and reduce the impact of infection on embryonic development.

*After that, strengthen the monitoring and management of mycoplasma infection. Regularly detect the infection, timely detect and deal with the recurrence of infection, to ensure the smooth progress of IVF cycle.

4. Summary and Prospect

Mycoplasma positive has certain influence on the success rate of test tube babies. Mycoplasma infection can cause adverse reproductive health effects and reduce the success rate of fertilization and implantation. Diagnosis and treatment are the key to improve the success rate of IVF. Through appropriate anti infection treatment and assisted reproductive technology, the impact of mycoplasma infection can be effectively reduced.
