What Is Trichomoniasis?
8. Complications
The symptoms of the infection, when they do occur, are usually only quite mild. The condition is also relatively easy to treat, so complications from the infection are unlikely. That does not mean to say that complications will never arise, however. One potential complication is that the infection can cause problems for developing fetuses.
Trichomoniasis can result in a baby being born prematurely, and they may also be underweight, even if they were delivered after a full term. Another potential complication is that trichomoniasis might also make it more likely that women become infected with HIV should they be exposed to the virus.
