A member asked:
How long can you have bacterial vaginosis for before it causes preterm labour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough to say: Routine screening for and treatment of asymptomatic bacterial vaginosis is not recommended despite some studies showing a benefit in decreasing preterm labor. Treatment of symptomatic bacterial vaginosis is currently recommended mainly to treat bothersome symptoms. This is a controversial subject matter at this time.
