Does having trichomoniasis increase the chances of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

A month ago, I felt that my leukorrhea was abnormal, and I had a sense of heaviness in my lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination, they said it was trichomoniasis. However, this year, my husband and I plan to have a baby. Will this inflammation affect my chances of getting pregnant? I would like to consult a doctor about whether the chances of pregnancy are high with trichomoniasis.

Doctor's answer:

In the case of trichomoniasis, the vaginal trichomonads may absorb sperm, so if it is not treated promptly, it may lead to infertility. Additionally, if trichomoniasis is not cured, it may also cause miscarriage even if pregnancy occurs. If you are not currently pregnant, it is recommended to take metronidazole orally and insert metronidazole into the vagina for treatment. The male partner also needs to undergo simultaneous treatment.
In addition, during the treatment of trichomoniasis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet.
