10 Symptoms and Treatments of Bacterial Vaginosis

5. Pelvic pain

Pelvic pain is used as a general term to describe any kind of discomfort felt within the pelvis. This can begin as a dull pain and is only rarely linked with Bacterial Vaginosis, However, if BV goes untreated it can cause great amounts of pain in the pelvic region, as the bacteria imbalance can increase your risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is the swelling and inflammation of the womb, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Be aware if you have a pain in and around the pelvis and lower back, experience a deep pain during or after sexual intercourse, or if you bleed between your periods.
