Bacterial vaginosis is one of the more common types of vaginitis, primarily transmitted through sexual activity. After contracting the disease, it can have a significant impact on women. Many women believe that vaginitis is not a serious gynecological condition, so they do not seek active treatment after being diagnosed. However, the harm caused by vaginitis infection is significant, with infertility being the most obvious impact. In severe cases, it may also affect fetal development or trigger other diseases. Therefore, women who suffer from bacterial vaginosis should seek early treatment. So, what are the harms of bacterial vaginosis?

Experts from Xi'an Sankin Hospital explain: What are the harms of bacterial vaginosis?

1. Causes infertility

Under normal circumstances, the bacterial flora in the vagina is relatively balanced, with a balanced pH level (pH value approximately between 3.8-4.5). This environment is suitable for the temporary retention of sperm, which is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, it easily leads to infertility. When women contract bacterial vaginosis, the vaginal pH exceeds 4.5, and the change in the acidity and alkalinity of the vaginal environment inhibits sperm motility. Additionally, pathogenic bacteria consume sperm, and during bacterial vaginosis, the vaginal secretions significantly increase, containing a large amount of white blood cells, all of which hinder the survival of sperm, reducing its quantity, making it easier for women to become infertile.

2. Affects fetal development

The harm of bacterial vaginosis to patients themselves is undeniable. During pregnancy, the harm of bacterial vaginosis increases, affecting fetal development, causing mild fetal restlessness and severe cases leading to premature birth or miscarriage.

3. Affects quality of life

Suffering from bacterial vaginosis often comes with symptoms like external genital itching, affecting women's daily lives, causing inconvenience at work, and impacting marital relations.

4. Triggers other diseases

Bacterial vaginosis can lead to infections in the reproductive system, pelvic inflammatory disease, perinephritis, and dyspareunia.

In daily life, how can women prevent bacterial vaginosis and avoid its harmful effects?

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, frequently wash and change underwear, do not share towels or bathtubs with others, and preferably wear cotton underwear. Towels and underwear used during treatment should be boiled for disinfection. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, and refrain from using vaginal medications and sitz baths during menstruation.

2. Diet should mainly consist of light foods, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods to prevent damp-heat or depletion of yin-blood.

3. Do more exercise, strengthen physical fitness, enhance the body's resistance.
