Patient's question:
Finally finished and went to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed metronidazole suppositories and metronidazole tablets. After taking the medicine for 5 consecutive days, my period came. The amount was very heavy. It lasted for 7 days, and then I stopped taking the medicine. I heard that metronidazole is very harmful to the stomach. It seems like I'm having a recurrence now. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Normal vaginal cleanliness is 1-2 degrees, and you are currently at 3 degrees, which indicates inflammation, (: mixed bacteria) and neutrophils (: neutrophils). The plus sign indicates an infection, and you are currently showing signs of bacterial vaginosis. Some cases of candidal vaginitis that are not treated promptly may lead to dysbiosis in the vaginal flora, resulting in bacterial vaginosis. Generally, medication or physical therapy may be used for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided. Online information is usually based on personal experiences and lacks scientific evidence. It is best not to use it casually, as it may delay treatment or be ineffective. It is recommended to communicate with the examining doctor for specific advice and treatment. Wishing you good health.
