If a woman undergoing a vaginal secretion test is found to have trichomonas, she should be diagnosed with trichomoniasis. It is not recommended for women with trichomoniasis to become pregnant; they should first treat the trichomoniasis before attempting conception. If pregnancy occurs while trichomoniasis is present, the inflammation might spread through the cervix into the uterine cavity, affecting the implantation and later development of the gestational sac. Even if the gestational sac develops in the early stages, there might be complications such as intrauterine infection or premature rupture of membranes later on. Therefore, once diagnosed with trichomoniasis, treatment with medications should be initiated, typically healing within a week. After experiencing another menstrual cycle, it is then completely safe to try to conceive.
