Can bacterial vaginosis affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does bacterial vaginosis affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Women with bacterial vaginosis are usually caused by infection with Gardnerella vaginalis. Antibiotic treatment for infection is quite common, and it is also a conventional clinical diagnostic and treatment method. Except in cases where pregnancy is planned, bacterial vaginosis can be treated first. Compared to untreated cases, pregnancy after treatment is relatively safer, as this bacterium will definitely affect sperm vitality and penetration.
