A member asked:

Can bacterial vaginosis affect trying to conceive and not miscarrying? can it be detected thru a cultural or pap? how can i cure it w/o medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Bacterial vaginosis can disappear by itself, however, since you are trying to get pregnant if would be prudent to see your doctor for a prescription. See this site for more information in this subject. http://www.cdc.gov/std/bv/stdfact-bacterial-vaginosis.htm
