I believe everyone knows the importance of menstruation to female friends. Female friends are prone to various abnormal conditions during menstruation. Because female friends' immunity is reduced during menstruation, we recommend that female friends pay attention to protecting their bodies during menstruation and avoid disease invasion.

(1) Oral medication: Metronidazole is the first choice.

(2) Local drug treatment.

(3) Sexual partners do not require routine treatment.

2. Candidal vaginitis

(2) Systemic medication: Metronidazole can be used for initial treatment, but the medication should be discontinued if side effects are detected. Do not drink alcohol during the use of metronidazole and within 24 hours of stopping the medication, and do not drink alcohol during the use of tinidazole and within 72 hours of stopping the medication. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking the medication during lactation.
