Can Having Trichomonasis Mess Up/ Be Dangerous During An Egg
Question: Can having trichomonasis mess up/ be dangerous during an egg retrieval for IVF
We are about to go into an egg retrieval for IVF and I'm wondering if having Trich can affect my wife or the egg during the process?
Brief Answer:
It can be easily diagnosed by Gynaecologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
May be blood tests won't detect trichomonas infection but clinically a Gynaecologist can identify on speculum examination or smear under microscopy.
She would have seen her vagina during ultrasound scan and if any infection detected would have been treated.
So you may not worry.
If you are anxious about it you can discuss with her .
If will usually not cause any issues during ovum pick up.
Hope my answer helps you.
