Seeking advice: Can one get pregnant with bacterial vaginosis?

Patient's question:

After taking the sustained-release tablets of metronidazole for 21 days, my period arrived three days later. Now my period has ended. How long should I wait before having sex? Can I get pregnant? Can I still get pregnant with bacterial vaginosis?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you get a vaginal discharge and routine leukorrhea test done as soon as possible. First, it is important to identify what type of bacterial infection it is. Once the infection is identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered. It is also suggested that you always maintain good hygiene in the vaginal area to prevent transmission. Pay attention to your diet and nutrition, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
As patients face the impact of bacterial vaginosis, we should actively carry out thorough examinations and treatments. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If bacterial vaginosis does not improve with treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan promptly.
