Question
At 35 weeks pregnant. After a routine leukorrhea check, the doctor prescribed Metronidazole vaginal gel. After using it for five days, the leukorrhea decreased but still appears yellowish. Should I continue using one box? Does this affect the baby?
Answer
The leukorrhea is yellowish, suggesting a possible vaginal inflammation. Generally, vaginal inflammation has little effect on the fetus. It is recommended to use red core wash solution and warm water to rinse the vulva, and to pay attention to personal hygiene, drink more water, and continue to observe. At 35 weeks pregnant, it is not advisable to use vaginal suppositories, although the effect on the fetus in the womb is minimal, still need to pay attention. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene in daily life and regularly change underwear.
