VIOLATION OF THE VAGINAL ECOSYSTEM IS A FACTOR IN MISCARRIAGE IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the normal vaginal flora is replaced by opportunistic microorganisms. The disease may be asymptomatic or accompanied by clinical symptoms; A pH above 4.5 and a high number of opportunistic bacteria may indicate bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy complicates the underlying disease process and increases the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Pregnant women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis are more likely to develop chorioamnionitis and postpartum endometritis.
