Bacterial vaginosis in the first trimester of pregnancy

Abstract

Impaired vaginal microbiocenosis during pregnancy is a relevant issue for practicing obstetricians, as changes in the vaginal microflora lead to complications during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period, infections and inflammatory process in the mother and fetus (10). Recent clinical studies showed that bacterial vaginosis (BV) during pregnancy is subject to treatment (2, 8, 9, 12, 16, 19, 20, 22). However, this still remains a challenge, largely due to the potential negative effects of etiotropic medicines on the fetus, especially in early pregnancy (1, 3, 16, 19).
