How to treat bacterial vaginosis well?

Patient's question:

I found out I have bacterial vaginosis and am taking Nifuratel tablets. I am also using bitter melon gel and metronidazole tablets vaginally. However, I had sex with my husband on December 20th and December 18th during my fertile period. My period didn't come until around January 4th. I am absolutely sure I can't be pregnant, right? If I were pregnant, would it be safe to take these medications?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the analysis of your consultation content, there is bacterial vaginosis. You are taking nitrofurantoin tablets, applying bitter melon gel vaginally, and taking metronidazole tablets. You had sexual intercourse with your husband during the fertile period. In this situation, the possibility of pregnancy is relatively high. From the perspective of optimizing reproduction, it is not recommended to preserve this pregnancy. Although these medications have no specific regulations or hazards for pregnant women, the use of topical medications can alter the vaginal environment and affect semen.
