Can metronidazole cure fungal infections?

Metronidazole tablets can treat fungal infections.

Metronidazole, also known as metronidazole, has a good anti-anaerobic effect. Because the pelvic tissue is close to the rectum and anus, it is easy to be infected by anaerobic bacteria. The pelvic anatomical position is relatively deep, and the environment is relatively closed and anaerobic, so anaerobic bacteria can easily multiply. In this special environment, almost most people's reproductive tract infections cannot exclude anaerobic infections, so anti-anaerobic drugs are widely used in anti-infection treatment, including pelvic infections and fungal diseases.
