In fact, if gynecological diseases are not treated in time, there are still many harmful effects. Take bacterial vaginosis as an example. Many women will ask, if they suffer from vaginosis, will it affect their fertility?

Experts tell us that if women suffer from bacterial vaginosis, this disease will seriously affect their normal work and life. So, will bacterial vaginosis affect fertility?

Will bacterial vaginosis affect women's fertility?

Clinically, there are cases where bacterial vaginosis affects female fertility. Generally speaking, after a woman suffers from this vaginosis, the balance of bacterial colonies and the acid-base balance of the vagina will be destroyed to a certain extent. This change in the environment will cause sperm to not survive for as long as usual after entering the female vagina, and the vitality of sperm will also be affected relatively, so it will lead to female infertility.

Specifically, when the balance of a woman's vagina changes, the different acid-base levels will greatly limit the vitality of sperm. Not only that, some bacteria caused by inflammation will devour these sperm, reducing the probability of pregnancy. At this time, there are also a lot of secretions in the vagina of the woman. Experts point out that these secretions contain a large number of white blood cells, which will hinder the smooth entry of sperm into the female body. At the same time, if timely treatment measures are not taken for bacterial vaginosis, this part of the inflammation will slowly ascend, causing a certain infection in the uterine cavity, causing women to induce salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. These complications can also lead to infertility in women.

Finally, if a woman is pregnant smoothly but has symptoms of bacterial vaginosis in her body, these inflammations will also affect the embryo in the pregnant woman's body, generally causing fetal movement disorder in women. If the situation is serious, it will cause women to have premature birth or even miscarriage.
