Metronidazole

I’ll caveat this with I can be a bit of a panicker when it comes to health problems!

Been prescribed with metronidazole oral tablets for 5 days to treat suspected bacterial vaginosis for the first time. After a few doses the infection seems to be clearing up but I’ve started to bleed a little. Nothing major but I can’t see it listed on the side effects sheet or find anyone else that seems to have experienced it so just a little concerned. Also on the combined pill if that makes any difference.

Just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same to put my mind at rest! Seems too trivial to bother the health services with at this stage. Thanks

Metronidazole wouldn't cause bleeding on its own but can cause contraceptive failure so it could be that and take extra precautions if you don't want to get pregnant.

@theHagOnTheHill thank you - weird that my doctor didn’t mention that!!!
