Does the use of metronidazole vaginally during pregnancy have an effect on the fetus?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'm asking if using metronidazole vaginally during pregnancy can affect the fetus.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in the early stages of pregnancy, it is generally not advisable to use medication blindly. If you use vaginal metronidazole, it is temporarily uncertain whether it will have adverse effects. Pay attention to proper prenatal care and regular follow-up examinations. After the baby engages in the pelvis, there may be pain. Timely follow-up and check-ups at the hospital are recommended. At the same time, maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and supplement with multiple vitamins for early recovery.
