Patient's question:
At 5 weeks pregnant, I was diagnosed with trichomoniasis vulvitis. The doctor prescribed Fugjie Shu wash liquid and metronidazole tablets, telling me to use the wash liquid and take the tablets vaginally. However, I found online that early pregnancy women should not use metronidazole. But the doctor said metronidazole is a Category B drug and is safe for pregnant women. I asked two hospitals, and both said that only metronidazole can treat trichomoniasis vulvitis. Could you please tell me if using it will affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
This type of vaginitis is only effective with metronidazole tablets. I don't know how many weeks you are pregnant. In fact, it still needs to be considered after weighing the pros and cons, because if it is not treated, if the inflammation is not removed and the interference is not softened, complications such as premature rupture of membranes may occur later. In the past, metronidazole was listed as a drug to be discontinued, but it is now redefined as a Category B drug, which can also be used.
