A member asked:
Can gardnerella vaginalis infect areas other than the vagina (like the mouth and gut) through sexual activity? if so, would oral metronidazole rather than the vaginal gel be better for systemic treatment or is the vaginal gel sufficient? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, G. vaginalis only causes vaginitis. Oral treatment is simpler than local gel but side effects are more common.
