Is metronidazole effective for yellow and thick leukorrhea?

Patient's question:

The other day, my period just ended, and I noticed that my leukorrhea is yellow and thick. What should I do? Is it effective to use metronidazole effervescent tablets? This is something I found through research, but I'm a bit unsure. Am I sick? Or is there a problem with my body? Do I need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?

Doctor's answer:

This is generally caused by inflammation. The period is when the body's resistance is lowest, making it easy to contract bacterial infections. Treatment options include using topical metronidazole effervescent tablets, taking oral cephalosporins, or undergoing physical therapy such as acupuncture, massage, cupping, and moxibustion. Clean the external genital area with plain water daily. You can also use topical metronidazole effervescent tablets, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce the intake of spicy foods.
