Is bacterial vaginosis serious? See the expert's introduction

Among the various gynecological diseases of women, bacterial vaginosis is not very serious, but the prerequisite is to get timely and reasonable treatment. If the treatment is not timely, the disease will continue to develop and become more serious, and it will also induce other diseases, in which case the severity will be greatly increased.

1. Induce other diseases. If bacterial vaginosis develops an ascending infection, it may induce other genital infections, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and even pelvic and abdominal abscesses. The most serious cases may cause uterine gangrene and result in infertility. Some may spread the infection and cause urinary tract infection, such as urethritis, cystitis, etc.

2. Affects the quality of life. Is bacterial vaginosis serious? The typical symptom of bacterial vaginosis is vulvar itching, which often makes women restless, causing many inconveniences and impacts on women's lives and work, and also affecting the couple's life.

3. Affect fetal development. According to relevant surveys, the incidence rate of bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women is relatively high, about 6% to 32%. This is related to the increase in estrogen secretion during pregnancy. However, when pregnant women suffer from bacterial vaginosis, it can often lead to adverse perinatal outcomes. Such as amniotic fluid infection, chorioamnionitis, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, and endometrial infection after cesarean section or vaginal delivery.

4. Cause infertility. When suffering from bacterial vaginosis, the acid-base balance in the vagina will be disrupted and vaginal secretions will increase, affecting sperm activity and hindering sperm survival, thereby reducing sperm quality. Those with low sperm count and poor sperm motility are likely to cause infertility.

It can be seen that candidal vaginitis can have a great impact on people's lives. Experts say that vaginitis is a very common gynecological disease and also a high-incidence disease. Patients with this disease must take it seriously and pay attention to it in daily life. This can reduce the incidence of vaginitis and reduce the harm of vaginitis to women's bodies.
