Patient's question:
Abnormal white discharge, went to the hospital to test the white discharge, severe bacterial infection. The doctor prescribed medication and cleaning products, but didn't remind me how long I could stop taking the medication. When I got home, I realized that taking too much medication is also not good. Among them, there was a small package of metronidazole. What is metronidazole? Can it be taken long-term for gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Metronidazole is an anti-inflammatory drug, and it can be used to treat gynecological inflammation. It is particularly effective for trichomoniasis. However, because metronidazole stimulates the stomach, it is not suitable for long-term use. It is used to treat inflammation, not to be taken continuously without inflammation for preventive purposes, as this is unnecessary. Prolonged use can lead to drug resistance and reduced effectiveness. Wishing you a happy life.
