| 1 | BV: Bacterial Vaginosis | Vaginal Bleeding | On the 3rd night I noticed flakes of what looked like blood and tissue maybe and then by the next day I started having clots (some were pretty big) and a lot of bleeding after taking the vaginal Metro-gel (short for full name). I was very concerned because it was way more bleeding than I get with my menstrual cycle which I had about a week and a half before I started this medicine so the bleeding shouldn't have been my period. I wasn't having any major pains or issues so I assumed it was some strange reaction to the medication and tried to not get worked up about it, plus it was the weekend and I couldn't get a hold of my doctor. As soon as I stopped the medication the bleeding would stop but started once I tried it again so I stopped taking it. I was already on my 5th day (last day) but my doctor still sent in the pill version for me just in case and I guess wanted me to take that even though my 5 days was up. At the time I still don't know why I bleed so much, other than the medication doing something. The doctor said maybe Fibroids, I've never known that I've had those but I guess that could be why along with some other reasons. Unfortunately I can't say right noe for sure why I started bleeding though, other than it being because of that medication. I don't notice the odor as much that was there before (whi | F | 40 | 5 days 1X day | 12/21/2023 | 1 | Bv | Day for I start cramping , and noticed when I inserted my 4 dose it had blood on it when I pulled it back out then had cramping then when I used it a bunch of tissue looking stuff came out brown blood like I thought it was a baby lol I skipped day 5 I took a flagyl pill for day 5 still bleeding heavy hopefully it stop soon I feel better seeing everybody have the same symptoms i panicked at first | F | 30 | 5 days 2 1X day | 10/26/2023 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | DONT USE THIS IF PREGNANT. It creates a white, yeast infection like discharge, with tiny dark brown specks. It is blood tissue. Scary if you're pregnant because it might look like a miscarriage. Wait until early 2nd trimester if you want to use it. | F | 21 | 5 days 0.75 1X day | 1/24/2023 | 1 | Bv | White clumpy discharge. Tuned pink then full on bleeding. Severe stomach cramps.

All antibiotics. Bleeding started at 6 pm on day 5. Didn't take 5th dose. Bright red blood, not uterine, so… my vagina is bleeding?? Bleeding heavily for 27 hours now. Like on a heavy period day. Vagina feels injured/cut/scraped. On-call doc said she'd never heard of bleeding as a side effect. Said to heal the tissues I could use Vaseline or coconut oil. I tried coconut oil but still tons of bleeding. And read that coconut oil prevents clotting. Super concerned, especially because I have a hysterectomy scheduled in 2 weeks for extremely symptomatic fibroids. If this messes up my surgery I'm going to be pissed!!! Because I can't pee or poop normally due to these stupid fibroids. Please email me if anyone figured out a way to stop the bleeding, or how long you bled for. | F | 42 | 4 days 1X day | 4/30/2022 | 1 | BV | Pelvic pain, abdominal cramping, bloating, bleeding | I had no symptoms.
