What problems can bacterial vaginosis cause?
Bacterial vaginosis usually does not cause other health problems. But it can lead to serious problems in some cases. If you have it when you are pregnant, it increases the risk of miscarriage, early (preterm) delivery, and uterine infection after pregnancy. If you have it when you have a pelvic procedure such as a C-section , abortion, or hysterectomy , you are more likely to get a pelvic infection.
