A member asked:

Can bacterial viagnosis cause any damage to my fallopian tubes or reproductive system if i had it almost a year? i got rid of it & i take very good care of myself. im trying to conceive.

BV is usually: confined to the vaginal wall and vault, though PID is a disease of the entire reproductive system. The two are not related and do not carry crossover risks. So the short answer is no. Know your ovulation chart if you are trying to conceive. It cuts down on the frustration (potentially anyway) and guess work. And it is fun to know when you should "try harder" and "work smarter". Good luck.

Not sure.: There may be some association between untreated BV and damage to the tube, but it is unclear. And we don't know how long a gal has to have it to be at risk. It is good that you got treated! It is the most common infection of vagina in women and fertility is fairly uncommon. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_vaginosis Relax! Eat right, exercise often, happy conceiving!
