Modern Approaches to the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis during Pregnancy

The problem of violations of vaginal microbiocenosis during pregnancy is of particular importance in obstetric practice, since changes in the vaginal microflora lead to a complicated course of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, as well as to the development of infectious and inflammatory processes in the mother and fetus [10].

Clinical studies in recent years have shown the need to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV) during pregnancy [2, 8, 9, 12, 16, 19, 20, 22]. However, to date, this remains a difficult task, which is largely due to the possible negative effect of etiotropic drugs on the fetus, especially in early pregnancy [1, 3, 16, 19].
