==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
===Complications===
Research has shown a link between trichomoniasis and two serious complications. Data suggest that:
*The genital [[inflammation]] caused by trichomoniasis can increase a woman's susceptibility to [[HIV infection]] if she is exposed to the virus. Having trichomoniasis may increase the chance that an HIV-infected woman passes HIV to her sex partner(s).
*Pregnant women with trichomoniasis may have babies who are born early or with [[low birth weight]] (less than five pounds).[http://www.cdc.gov/std/trichomonas/STDFact-Trichomoniasis.htm]


Trichomoniasis is also associated with increased chances of [[cervical cancer]]. 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.

If left untreated, women with trichomoniasis may progress to develop infection of the [[adnexa]], [[endometrium]], and Skene and Bartholin glands.

Overview

If left untreated, women with trichomoniasis may progress to develop infection of the adnexa, endometrium, and Skene and Bartholin glands. In men, untreated trichomoniasis can cause epididymitis, prostatitis, and decreased sperm cell motility.[1] Complications of trichomoniasis include pelvic inflammatory disease, increased risk of HIV, increased risk of cervical cancer, increased risk of prostate cancer, and pregnancy-related complications such as low birth weight, preterm delivery, and premature rupture of membranes. The prognosis of trichomoniasis is generally excellent with treatment.[2]

Natural History

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

Complications

Common complications of trichomoniasis in women include:[1]

Complications of trichomoniasis in men include:[1]

Prognosis

The prognosis of trichomoniasis is generally excellent with treatment.[2]
