Can gardernella cause pid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BV and PID: Gardnerella is a normal bacteria in the vagina. It is one of many bacteria that grow to abnormal numbers in women with bacterial vaginosis. BV is more common in women with PID and some of the same bacteria often infect the tubes in BV. Therefore Gardnerella can be associated with BV, but Gardnerella itself does not cause PID. Usually PID is started by gonorrhea or chlamydia.
