| | American Family Physician: Trichomonas infections in men |
 | | Trichomonas organisms have been found in autopsy specimens of prostate tissue.[4] Although recent reviews suggest that Trichomonas does not play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis,[5] this organism may be an important consideration in cases of prostatitis that fail to respond to traditional antibiotic therapy.[6] | | | As many as 50 percent of women with culture-proven Trichomonas vaginitis are not identified by direct microscopic examination of a vaginal wet-mount preparation.[1] Kuberski[3] found that 11 percent of men with nongonococcal urethritis had a fourfold or greater increase in indirect hemagglutination titer for Trichomonas. | | | Multiple-glass urinalysis and selective use of Trichomonas cultures may improve recognition of this organism in the family practice setting. |

| | On vaginal speculum exam, skin bleeding points (petechiae) are present in the upper vagina and cervix in about 10% of cases. | | | In sexually transmitted disease clinics, however, trichomonas may represent from 10-50% of women presenting with vaginal symptoms. | | | It has also been suggested that the intravaginal application of the spermicide, nonoxynol-9, may have some effect against metronidazole resistant trichomonas (8) although it would not be expected to eradicate the organism in the urethra or Skene's glands. |
