Can you get pregnant with bacterial vaginosis?

It is not recommended for patients with bacterial vaginosis to become pregnant during treatment. This condition may alter the vaginal pH environment, thereby inhibiting sperm motility, even leading to sperm phagocytosis, resulting in reduced sperm count and decreased motility, which can impair fertility. Bacterial vaginosis may also trigger intrauterine infections such as salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, further increasing the risk of infertility. To ensure maternal and fetal health, it is advisable for patients with bacterial vaginosis to wait until they have fully recovered before attempting pregnancy. During treatment, patients should actively follow their doctor's treatment plan, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, avoid sexual intercourse, and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset also contributes to recovery.
