Is it safe to take metrogel for bv while pregnant?

Dr. Brad Douglas answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes: Yes - and you should treat BV in pregnancy too as there is a chance of preterm labor with BV - but also make sure you keep the pH of your vaginal at a pH balance - because BV occurs in a basic environment and yeast infections occur in an acidic environment.
