A member asked:

Can bacteria vaginosis make conception difficult? i have been trying to conceive for some time now. i do have cysts, very small however.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacterial vaginosis: may have some affect on conception, but it's relatively minor. It may adversely affect the sperms' motility & survivability & may impede their ability to get where they need to go. In any case, it should be treated ideally b4 you get pregnant. Best wishes. Dr. Anne.
