Patient's question:
I have bacterial vaginosis. The doctor on this website said to use metronidazole, but I searched online and found that metronidazole is only used for trichomoniasis. So, what is the correct treatment and which medication is better? Thank you...Doctor's answer:
Hello! Metronidazole is effective against anaerobic bacterial infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sometimes mixed infections. Treatment should be targeted at the cause and symptomatic relief. If there is also trichomoniasis, metronidazole can also be effective. 1q
