Can nonoxynol-9 or N9 (spermicide) cause my bacterial vaginosis?

Question

ive noticed that since ive been using condoms with spermicide that ive had b/v twice in a year and never had it before.i had to come off other birth control and started using condoms.has this any relevance to me getting b/v,and could the chemical cause a miscarriage too

Answer 1

I am afraid anything that interferes with the normal environment of the v****a may disrupt the protective bacteria, lactobacilli, and this may alow more noxious pathological organisms to overgrow and cause either thrush or bacterial vaginosis.

Spermicides produce a hostile vaginal environment which kills sperm, they don't cause misscarriage.

Answer 2

you should try condoms without spermicide, it's been proven that condoms with spermicide are no more effective than regular condoms.

i don't think that it could cause a miscarriage.
