Sexually transmitted diseases and infertility
2017, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Pathologically, T vaginalis has been shown to be capable of ascending the upper genital tract and has been associated with up to 30% of acute salpingitis cases, although within the same study, trichomonads were not demonstrated in tubal cultures from cases of salpingitis.86 T vaginalis has been shown to be associated clinically with endometritis, salpingitis, and atypical PID,87-90 demonstrating that it may be an important pathogen in upper genital tract damage. Other potential mechanisms linking T vaginalis infection to infertility include disruption of sperm motility,89 phagocytosis of sperm, and transportation of other infectious agents to the upper genital tract by motile trichomonads,82,83 although these mechanisms do not directly affect the female reproductive tract.
