Trichomoniasis Treatments

4. Complications From Trichomoniasis

Although rare, trichomoniasis can lead to worse problems like an infected cyst, which may need to be drained or surgically removed. For pregnant women, the complications can be much greater; for example, contracting trichomoniasis while pregnant may result in low birth weight or premature delivery. Women who have contracted trichomoniasis and are pregnant should see a doctor immediately. A healthcare professional will outline a course of therapy that ensures the health of you and your baby. However, there shouldn’t be any complications if treatment is provided quickly. If complications do persist you schedule an appointment with your physician as soon as possible.
