What are the dangers of bacterial vaginosis if it is not cured for a long time?

Bacterial vaginosis usually refers to inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue. It is the most common disease in gynecological clinics, equivalent to the common cold in internal medicine clinics, with a high incidence rate. In addition, due to incorrect treatment methods or lack of care after treatment, the disease often recurs. What kind of harm will bacterial vaginosis bring if it is not cured for a long time?

1. Cause infertility

The onset of bacterial vaginosis will cause the corresponding disease to occur in the environment inside our vagina, which will inhibit the activity of sperm when passing through the vagina. Inflammatory cells can phagocytize sperm and weaken sperm activity, thereby affecting pregnancy and even causing infertility.

2. Induce cervical erosion

Improper treatment of the disease can easily lead to recurrence. Repeated recurrence not only brings great trouble to normal life, but also seriously damages the female immune system, causing cervical erosion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and even cervical cancer.

3. Affecting the couple’s life

A series of symptoms of bacterial vaginosis appear, such as itching, pain, etc., which first affect the life between couples. If it is not treated for a long time, repeated attacks will lead to disharmony in the sexual life of couples and affect the quality of their sexual life.

4. Affect fetal development

Pregnant women are very susceptible to fungal bacterial vaginosis. If they do not receive effective treatment after contracting the disease, the Candida albicans in the vagina can ascend through the cervix, penetrate the fetal membrane and infect the fetus, causing premature birth. If the fetus is delivered vaginally, 2/3 of the newborns will develop the disease.

What are the specific harms of bacterial vaginosis that cannot be cured for a long time? From the above four points of analysis, I hope that women can recognize the specific harms brought by bacterial vaginosis, seek treatment in time after being ill, be prepared to prevent recurrence after treatment, pay attention to their living habits, etc., to avoid recurrence!
