Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is not a sexually transmitted disease and does not affect your fallopian tubes or cause infertility. There are no proven home remedies to treat BV once you have it. One very small study suggested that eating 150 ml of live yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus every day helped a small number of women to get less BV infections compared with eating pasteurized yogurt, but this is prevention not treatment.
BV may increase a woman’s chance of getting other STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. So get treated for BV by your OB/Gyn, but it’s not usually a factor in how easy (or not) it is to get pregnant.
