Does trichomoniasis affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I am 28 years old and planning to get pregnant. I have been thoroughly examined at the hospital and found to have trichomoniasis. I would like to consult with you about whether trichomoniasis affects pregnancy, whether it will affect the child, and how long it will take to be cured before I can start trying to get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Trichomoniasis is primarily a disease transmitted through sexual contact or indirectly through objects. It mainly manifests as a change in vaginal discharge, appearing foamy, accompanied by itching symptoms. It can be detected through a routine vaginal discharge examination. It is recommended to apply medication to the vagina promptly and avoid pregnancy until it is cured. During the treatment period, both partners should take medication simultaneously. Generally, if there are no abnormalities after two follow-up tests, pregnancy can be considered. The daily treatment for patients with trichomoniasis is mainly symptomatic treatment.
