    Introduction: Pregnant women are prone to acquiring infections, being the affections to the female reproductive system the most common, due to various factors. In this way, the causes, consequences, and types of infections attributed to the female reproductive system (vagina) are described below. Material and methods: A bibliographic study was carried out through articles, books and information certified as reliable on digital platforms such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Latindex in each period. Results: According to studies carried out, pregnant women today have good knowledge about vaginal infection, causes and the processes involved in acquiring it, but there is a lack of knowledge about its repercussions. In addition, another study emphasizes the poor feedback of information regarding the subject and associates it with the early age of women in entering a pregnant period. Discussion: The knowledge of pregnant women is mediated by technological means such as social networks, blogs, and web pages on the Internet. At the same time, the information collected by pregnant women is implicitly completely true, causing gaps in adequate knowledge about vaginal infections in pregnant women. Detection and prevention is mediated through laboratory analysis and the lifestyle of pregnant women, there being a wide variety of techniques and methods for the detection and identification of pathogens of vaginal infections, the main ones being those techniques and methods in samples of blood, urine and cervicovaginal secretion. Conclusion: The information found on the subject in question must be verified and consulted to guarantee correct knowledge of its effectiveness when identifying or preventing any infection in such a delicate period.
