Can pregnant women use metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets for vaginitis?

Patient's question:

At 31 weeks pregnant, my leukorrhea has always been rated as "clean" with no signs of mold or anything. The doctor prescribed metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, which state "for use only by pregnant women," but the doctor said it's safe for pregnant women to use and won't cause any harm. Is it okay to use?

Doctor's answer:

From the symptoms, it appears to be the symptoms caused by bacterial vaginosis. This can be treated with metronidazole without needing proof. According to the latest guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it is a medication that can be used during pregnancy. If you are really concerned, you can skip it. In addition to treating vaginosis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
