Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

What to do if you are in a relationship or pregnant and have BV?

There is no need to treat men and partners who were assigned male at birth (AMAB) for bacterial vaginosis (BV). Your partner may also have BV if they are AFAB. It’s crucial to inform them so they can receive care.

If you are pregnant, your doctor may recommend a pregnancy-safe treatment if you have bacterial vaginosis (BV). Regardless of whether you have symptoms, you need to get treated for the infection. Premature birth or having a kid that weighs less than average (low birth weight) are issues that can be brought on by BV during pregnancy.
