    No, bacterial vaginosis is caused by interrupting the natural Ph in your vaginal tract by an outside source.

    Although it hasn’t been “statistically” proven that actually treating the condition will reduce the risk of preterm delivery and other problems, experts still suggest that treatment be done because of the fact that women with bacterial vaginosis are at a greater risk for a preterm delivery.
