Can the bacteria megasphaera in the vagina be harmful to my baby during delivery? im about to be due and don't have bacterial vaginosis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be okay: This is a bacteria, as best that i can tell from limited research, that is unique in humans to the vaginal environment and in higher numbers in women who actually have bv. If you do not have BV and are symptom free, then the presence of this bacteria on a routine culture would not prompt treatment.
