Overview

Natural History

If left untreated, women with trichomoniasis may progress to develop infection of the adnexa, endometrium, and Skene and Bartholin glands. In men, it can cause epididymitis, prostatitis, and decreased sperm cell motility.^[1]

Complications

Common complications of trichomoniasis in women include:^[1]

Pelvic inflammatory disease
Pregnancy-related complications such as low birth weight, preterm delivery, and premature rupture of membranes
Increased risk for acquiring HIV
Increased risk of cervical neoplasia

Evidence implies that infection in males potentially raises the risks of prostate cancer development and spread due to inflammation. Additional research is needed to fully explore these relationships.

Prognosis
