Can vaginitis be treated solely with metronidazole?

Patient's question:

February, bacterial vaginosis was detected. Following the prescribed course, I used Longyi, Kuoshen gel, and nano-silver gel, but none of them could completely cure it. I saw online that many people recommend using metronidazole for treatment. Currently, my condition is not very severe, except for mild inflammation. Can I just take metronidazole for treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Bacterial vaginosis, it is advisable to use vinegar and acidic solutions to periodically rinse the vagina, which can stabilize symptoms and help control the disease. During treatment with metronidazole suppositories placed in the vagina, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition to medication for bacterial vaginosis, patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment results.
