What Every Woman Should Know About 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.

In a lot of cases this infection has been known to go away on its own. It’s been estimated that around 50%-75% of women have recorded either no signs or no symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. But if treatment is needed, your doctor may prescribe you with antibiotics or a vaginal cream or gel. In order to determine if you have this infection, your doctor may take a vaginal sample and test it.
