Frequency of micturition and dysuria were prominent symptoms in 135 (57%) of 237 women with urethral syndrome. Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis and Chlamydia trachomatis were the principal organisms associated with the urethral syndrome (38.41%, 28.14% and 11.11%, respectively). Escherichia coli was cultured from four patients and Herepes genitalis and Neisseria gonorrhoea were isolated from five patients. Infections with more than one organism were frequent. Thirty-one of 135 patients were infected by two organisms, 27 by three and 4 patients by four microorganisms. Vaginitis due to Garnerella vaginalis, Candida spp. and Trichomonas vaginalis was discovered in 52 (39%) of 135 patients.

We report a case of urinary retention complicated with acute transverse myelitis caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. A 16-year-old man visited a clinic because of urinary retention, fever, muscle weakness and sensory disturbance of lower extremities. He was referred to our hospital for further examination. He was diagnosed with acute transverse myelitis due to M. pneumoniae infection based on cerebrospinal fluid examination, serum titer of antibody to M. pneumoniae and magnetic resonance imaging. He was treated with corticosteroids for acute myelitis. A urethral catheter was indwellt for urinary retention. His muscle strength and sensory of lower extremities improved after 2 months of treatment, and he was discharged from our hospital. However, since urinary frequency, urge incontinence and weak urinary stream persisted, he was referred to us for further examination. A pressure-flow study examination showed a decreased maximum urinary flow rate and the findings of detrusor sphincter dyssnergia. We diagnosed him with uninhibited bladder and detrusor sphincter dyssnergia. We administered propiverine hydrochloride and imipramine hydrochloride, and his symptoms subsided significantly. Now, (8 months) after this medication, he still has incontinence at night.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection-caused inflammatory continuum from the cervix to the peritoneal cavity. Most importantly, it is associated with fallopian tube inflammation, which can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. The microbial etiology is linked to sexually transmitted microorganisms, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrheae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and bacterial vaginosis-associated microorganisms, predominantly anaerobes. Pelvic pain and fever are commonly absent in women with confirmed PID. Clinicians should consider milder symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, metrorrhagia, postcoital bleeding, and urinary frequency as potential symptoms associated with the disease, particularly in women at risk of sexually transmitted infection. The diagnosis of PID is based on the findings of lower genital tract inflammation associated with pelvic organ tenderness. The outpatient treatment of mild-to-moderate PID should include tolerated antibiotic regimens with activity against the commonly isolated microorganisms associated with PID and usually consists of an extended spectrum cephalosporin in conjunction with either doxycycline or azithromycin. Clinically severe PID should prompt hospitalization and imaging to rule out a tuboovarian abscess. Parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy with activity against a polymicrobial flora, particularly gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes, should be implemented. Screening for and treatment of Chlamydia infection can prevent PID.
