Can bv cause pelvic pain?

A dull ache in my lower belly often occurs, which my doctor said might be related to my frequent BV episodes. I just wanted to confirm if BV can actually cause this kind of ongoing pelvic pain. Is this a common symptom?

I log all my symptoms in my health tracker app, and when I had BV, my pelvic area felt a bit heavy but not in sharp pain. If you're having actual pain down there, the app insights usually say it could be PID or an infection spreading. Better to get it checked out.

I totally feel you, dealing with this is so exhausting and it really messes with your mental peace. I had this constant dull ache in my lower belly when I had BV and I kept crying thinking something was permanently wrong. You are not alone, please get a checkup so you can get relief soon.

Mild heaviness can happen, but sharp pelvic pain is not common for simple BV. Instead of trying random things ghar pe, just book a simple gynaecologist consultation. A quick 5-day course of antibiotics they prescribe will clear it up without costing you much peace of mind.

If you have pelvic pain, don't wait because delaying might make it worse and then hospital bills will go sky high. Better to pay 500 rupees for a doctor consultation now and get the correct lab swab test done. It is much cheaper to treat it early than dealing with complications later.

My wife's doctor mentioned that while BV primarily causes discharge and odor, pelvic pain can sometimes indicate that the bacterial imbalance has led to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). It's really best to get a clinical examination done rather than assuming it's just basic BV.
