Systemic metronidazole, also known as metronidazole, can be given as a single dose to patients with early bacterial vaginosis and can also achieve the same effect. It has good oral absorption, high efficacy, low toxicity, and is easy to use. It can be used by both men and women. It is difficult to use local medication in the vagina of unmarried women, so systemic medication is convenient. Gastrointestinal reactions such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting are occasionally seen after taking the medication.

In addition, patients with bacterial vaginosis may occasionally experience headaches, rashes, leukopenia, etc. Once discovered, the drug should be stopped immediately. Metronidazole can enter the fetus through the placenta and can be excreted through breast milk. When taken in early pregnancy, the teratogenic effect on the fetus has not yet been ruled out, so it is not appropriate to use it in early pregnancy and lactation. Local medication can also achieve good results. Metronidazole is inserted into the vagina once a night. If lactic acid or acetic acid is rinsed first to improve the vaginal environment, the efficacy will be improved. Because Trichomonas bacterial vaginosis often recurs after menstruation, when the Trichomonas test is negative after treatment, the leucorrhea should still be checked after each menstruation. If it is negative after 3 tests, it can be called cured. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.
