Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal aberrant condition in women, in the general population. Even still, the majority of women with BV are asymptomatic. If BV is found at time of elective IUD/S placement, can the device still be inserted? Or is it an independent risk factor for upper tract infection? What category in the CDC MEC is vaginitis/vaginosis for IUD placement? There definitely is some confusion about this in clinical practice, highlighted by the 3 different clinicians which were interviewed in this episode! So…. IUD placement with BV: test and place, or test and differ placement? Listen and find out.
