Patient's question:
What symptoms does bacterial vaginosis cause and does it affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Abnormal vaginal discharge significantly increases, appearing thin and homogeneous or thin and pasty, with a grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or creamy-yellow color and a special fishy odor. The external genitalia may cause discomfort, including varying degrees of itching. Some patients may experience pain during intercourse. Under normal circumstances, the vaginal flora is relatively balanced, and the acid-base level is relatively stable (pH value is approximately 3.8-4.5). This environment is highly suitable for sperm to temporarily reside and pass through, which is very important. Once this environment is disrupted, it can easily lead to infertility.
