Research Article: Characters of Bacterial Vaginosis and Association with Dyspareunia and Dysuria in Pregnant Women in Saudi Arabia
Abstract:
Bacterial vaginosis is a prevalent microbiological condition of the vaginal flora in sexually active women. The typical vaginal flora has changed. Due to the decline in lactobacilli and the rise in other anaerobic microbes, it is a polymicrobial illness. Pregnancy-related bacterial vaginosis is linked to an increased risk of preterm birth, early membrane rupture, and chorioamnionitis owing to ascending infection. They have found amniotic fluid and placenta-derived bacteria in pregnant women who delivered prematurely. Cervicitis, salpingitis, endometritis, post-operative infections, and oophoritis are among the gynecologic consequences of bacterial vaginosis. Geographical, socioeconomic, and clinical characteristics of the population all affect the incidence of BV among pregnant women, and these differences are seen all over the world. Prevalence of BV among pregnant women varies from .% to % in high-income nations., There have been reports of incidence rates in Africa as low as .% in Burkina Faso and as high as % in Botswana., Most sub-Saharan nations have reported high prevalence rates; in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Ethiopia, those rates are %, .%, .%, and .%, respectively.–
