Overview
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]
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 of acquiring HIV
- Increased risk of cervical neoplasia
Complications of trichomoniasis in males include:[1]
- Epididymitis
- Prostatitis
- Increased risk of prostate cancer
