Preventing Bacterial Vaginosis

Some researchers and doctor’s believe that if a woman has bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy, that it can cause a higher risk in miscarriage, premature delivery as well as a uterine infection. Although still truly unknown, it is still recommended for women to have a screening for bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy and if they have this infection to have it treated right away.

However, there are different ways to help prevent bacterial vaginosis. You can do things like: Wiping from front to back, no douching, keeping the vaginal area clean. Avoid wearing tight clothes, avoid scented or treated toilet paper that also includes scented feminine hygiene products and always remember to practice safe sex.
