Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt a pain below. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and they said it was bacterial vaginosis. What are the hazards of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis is a mixed infection caused by the imbalance of normal vaginal flora, but the clinical and pathological features of bacterial vaginosis do not show changes in inflammation. Hydrogen peroxide-producing lactobacilli dominate in the normal vagina. Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginitis caused by a mixed infection of Gardnerella vaginalis and many anaerobic bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis is very harmful. It can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other diseases. Bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women can also interfere with the fetal growth and development.
