A member asked:

Could bv be the reason why i miscarried? i believe i had it when i concieved. will i miscarry again if i get pregnant again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: BV does not cause a miscarriage. BV is not an infection, but an overgrowth of abnormal bacteria, and represents an imbalance in the vaginally flora. A pelvic infection, say like chlamydia, can sometimes cause a miscarriage, but not BV.
