Pre test Information : No Special Preparation Needed
The condition known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) affects the vagina. Both "good" (healthy) and "bad" (unhealthy) bacteria are present in equal amounts in a healthy vagina. Normally, the beneficial bacteria keep the harmful ones in check. When the usual balance is disturbed and more harmful bacteria proliferate than beneficial bacteria, a BV infection results.
The majority of BV infections are minor and occasionally resolve on their own. Some BV-infected women go on to recover completely unaware of their infection. But BV infections can be more severe and might not get better on their own. If left untreated, BV might raise your chance of contracting an STD such chlamydia, gonorrhoea, or HIV.
Pregnancy-related BV infections can raise your chance of an early (premature) delivery or a baby who is smaller than average at birth (less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces at birth). A newborn with low birth weight may experience major health issues such as infections, breathing problems, and issues with feeding and gaining weight.
You can prevent these major health issues by getting tested and treated with the use of a BV test.
Other names: wet mount test, KOH test, and vaginal pH test
