Trichomoniasis Complications

If prolonged infection is present, it may cause changes in the tissue on the cervical surface. These changes may be noted on a routine Pap smear. In such cases, treatment should be initiated and the Pap smear repeated 3 to 6 months after successful treatment.

It is important that trichomoniasis be treated to prevent symptoms and transmission to partners. Trichomoniasis can also increase the probability of acquiring HIV infection from an infected partner.
