A total of 284 women in the reproductive years with vaginal discharge from which only Gardnerella vaginalis (GV) had been isolated, entered a questionnaire study on the possible causal relation between presence of GV and type of menstrual hygiene, type of contraception, number of deliveries, infertility and number of sexual partners. A control group consisted of 225 women without vaginal discharge. The study showed that patients with GV significantly more frequently used tampons for menstrual hygiene, sought medical assistance for vaginal discharge more often, and had more sexual partners. On the other hand, no difference was found between the two groups as to type of contraception, number of previous deliveries, and unsuccessful attempts of getting pregnant.
共有284名处于生育年龄、有阴道分泌物且仅分离出阴道加德纳菌(GV)的女性,参与了一项关于GV存在与月经卫生类型、避孕方式、分娩次数、不孕及性伴侣数量之间可能因果关系的问卷调查研究。一个对照组由225名无阴道分泌物的女性组成。研究表明,患有GV的患者在月经卫生方面更频繁地使用卫生棉条,因阴道分泌物更频繁地寻求医疗帮助,且有更多性伴侣。另一方面,两组在避孕方式、既往分娩次数和受孕未成功方面未发现差异。
