Brief Answer:
NO.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
1.Trichomoniasis (“trich”) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the one-celled protozoan organism Trichomonas vaginalis.
2.Typical signs and symptoms include a foul odor accompanied by a thin greenish to yellowish frothy discharge. This may also be accompanied by vaginal itching, burning on urination, frequent urination, painful intercourse and bleeding after intercourse. Symptoms may occur from 4-30 days after exposure.
3.Endometrial Polyps of the uterus are a kind of local endometrium hyperplasia, characterized by an abnormal growth of the mucosa in the uterine cavity in the form of a single or multiple tumors having a broad base or a leg. Polyps of the uterus make themselves known by uterine bleeding, recurrent pain and infertility. Endometrial polyps are diagnosed in the course of a complex gynecological examination: visual examination, ultrasound diagnostics, hysteroscopy and histological test. Treatment for uterine polyps is surgical, including polypectomy and curettage (scraping) of the uterus.
4.So uterine polyp is not related with infection.
