| 4 | BV | Helped with the odor one day after first use. | It does have side effects but the gel actually works better than the flagyl to me, I did start bleeding but my cycle was close to coming in a few days anyways. | F | 37 | 7 days 1X day | 9/5/2022 | 3 | BV | Cramping, no appetite, bad bloating, constipation, white thick stringy discharge all 5 days, started spotting on day 4 of use which was like dark brown, full on bleeding bright red on day 5 with bad cramps. | It did get rid of the BV but I had horrible side effects. I have the Mirena IUD and not supposed to have periods. It has caused a full on period on day 5 and it's bright red blood. Prior to this on day 3 my discharge started having weird brown and red specs in it, day 4 it was bright red and white discharge and now day 5 it is all blood like I am on my period. It works for BV but all these side effects suck and I feel it's not worth it. | F | 27 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 8/2/2022 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I have had BV for about a year or more. Although I never experienced bad odor or bad discharge (although I experienced this in high school and early adult years on and off) I started experiencing pain during sex and it would not go away. (About 8 months on and off) Got diagnosed with BV by my doctor about a year ago and never treated it, it was on and off and at the time the time I was not experiencing pain during sex. My first time using the gel I experienced Brown tissue like discharge. Abdominal cramps such as being on period. Itching increase by day 2/3 and itching decrease by day 4. Constant urinating but I suspect I have a uti aswell and currently medicating my uti. Overall fatigue, back pain and my god the Diarrhea!! every time I pee, I poop a little. I poop multiple times a day since I started treatment | Need to get probiotics as others have commented. My period is due to start on day 5 of treatment, so I am unsure if the very light spotting is due to my period coming or the gel. Hoping I can have pain free sex moving forward, aswell as changing what I eat and preventing the BV from reoccurring | F | 24 | 5 days 1 1X day | 7/3/2022 | 3 | Bacterial vaginosis | Slight cramping during use, spotting, bleeding | This medicine was not bad for me on the front end. I used it for 5 days and only had slight cramping. I am now 5 days off of it and the past 2 days experienced light spotting, but woke up to heavy bleeding today. I am on birth control and should't start my period for another week. I'm waiting for a call back from my gyno but it is concerning. | F | 25 | 5 days .75 1X day | 7/1/2022 | 3 | BV | Brown, red, pink shredded tissue? It felt like paper but looked like shredded roast beef. Had it for the whole time. I stopped taking it on day 4 and douched and even more came out. Never experienced that before and I'm gonna call the doc Monday morning. I guess we will see if this is gonna continue to come out of me over the weekend. I am on no meds but have an IUD. | F | 44 | 5 days 1X day | 5/27/2022 | 3 | The doctor prescribed it for me | I am experiencing a white and thick discharge that now doesn't want to go away. | I used the metro gel and after using the first dose i started getting this thick discharge. | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 5/21/2022 | 1 | Bv | This caused bloody discharge after completing it. I'm not anywhere near getting my period. But I have more discharge now and it has blood in it for a couple days. | F | 27 | 5 days 30mg 1X day | 5/4/2022 | 1 | BV | Fatigue, burning sensation in torso, numb tailbone, bleeding on day 5, extremely red/purple color in vulva creases | I hate this stuff. 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 | 3 | BV | Had thick brown slimy discharge (presumably blood) about ~2.5 hours after first nights application. Also have slight spasm-like cramps here and there. Some dizziness. Still on the first night of treatment so can't speak for further days' symptoms. | This is one of the few sites I found where others having the same brown discharge/blood. I'm menopausal and on a hormone replacement patch. | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 2/17/2022 | 1 | BV | Pelvic pain, abdominal cramping, bloating, bleeding | I had no symptoms. OB prescribed Metrogel. Day 2 I started getting bloody discharge. Day 3 bleeding worked to spotting. OB recommended I stop taking it. 36 hours of not taking the gel and I'm bleeding even more. 8 wks postpartum so this is not my period. I will be seeing the doctor as soon as I can for the bleeding | F | 30 | 3 days 1X day | 2/8/2022 | 3 | Bv | Bled, brown and clumpy so nasty and concerning especially due to not listed as side effect | F | 24 | 5 days 1X day | 1/23/2022 | 5 | BV | NORMAL discharge...I repeat, this is NORMAL. This is an anti-biotic, think about it for a minute. There is only one way out of the vagina, babe. The bacteria has to go somewhere.. It's all OK, just get through the week and roll on. | True, taking the pill treatment gives the convenience of everything coming in through the bloodstream and out through the "back door," but FOR ME, I like having a refill of this on hand at pharmacy so I don't have to go the GYN every time I figure it out during or after sex (you know what I'm talking about). We know what it is, gimme the gel Doc. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 11/8/2021 | 4 | Bv | Thick white clumpy discharge days3-7 and it won't go away do I need to do treatment again | F | 29 | 7 days 1X day | 7/26/2021 | 1 | BV | Chunks came out in the toilet.. like red/pink fleshy looking that freaked me out. Blood when I wiped. Now I'm having bad cramps like I'm on my period but I'm not due for a week. I've taken the pill and cream years ago and never experienced this. I will not take this again I feel horrible and not finishing my doses. | F | 31 | 2 days 1X day | 7/24/2021 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) | Tingling arms below elbow to hands, tingling from knees down, abdominal cramping, dizziness and lightheaded, vaginal soreness, clumpy ball like white discharge, lower back pain, headaches, loss of appetite. | Had stomach pains and thought it was a uti, urine culture came back negative so they swabbed my cervix and it came back positive for BV. Was first prescribed the metro pills I read many reviews on how bad it is (also my mom was it and it didn't do her any good as far as the side effects) I the. Called and asked to be switched to the gel. Take at bed time applicator full for 5 days. Day one I was okay, still pain but odor completely gone. Day 2 I had cramping, Day 3 full in cramping and back pain. I felt the need to stop. 3 days later I am now having all of the symptoms above. The worst part is the lightheadedness which springs on the headache and the tingling is annoying! It did the job but the clumpy discharge is slowing down. I haven't been able to eat and ended up losing 5 pounds. This is by far better than the pills so definitely use this as necessary but the side effects can be annoying. | F | 21 | 5 days .75 1X day | 7/23/2021 | 1 | BV | It caused severe vaginal burning, low abdominal pain, dizziness, sore throat, throat felt as if something in it, metallic taste in mouth, sore tongue.., It caused severe vaginal burning, low abdominal pain, sore throat, felt as if something stuck in throat, trouble swallowing, metallic taste in mouth, sore tongue, ears blocked, felt horrible. | F | 68 | 2 days .75mg 1X day | 7/18/2021 | 3 | BV | I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago. No cervix. This is my first time using this gel and every single time I insert the applicator it comes out with bright red blood on it. But no bloody discharge. So I'm not sure if it from me inserting the plastic applicator or what. I have noticed the clumpy white discharge though and a wierd taste in my mouth no matter how many times I brush I teeth. | F | 36 | 3 days .75mg gel 1X day | 7/13/2021 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Mild Vaginal Irritation, Clumpy White Discharge | I was prescribed this for bacterial vaginosis that I didnt even know I had but tested positive for at my OB from a swab. I apparently had light discharge I didnt know about but never had any odor or anything. They prescribed me 7 days, 1 applicator full 1x a day at bedtime. I had mild vaginal irritation inside the vagina & lots of thick white (toilet paper looking) discharge. My OB told me the discharge was normal & from the gel, it was not a yeast infection. However, the medicine did not treat my BV. The discharge lasted 3 days after my last dose. I was still experiencing vaginal irritation so I went back to OB who swabbed me and I still had BV. So they prescribed me vaginal clindamycin cream. I cant say I would take this again because it didnt clear up the bacteria infection. I gave 2 stars only because the side effects weren’t bad - I didnt have burning or stinging. I also didnt get a yeast infection because the 2nd swab they did showed no candidas. The irritation I had I believe was from vagina dryness from the medication. | F | 36 | 7 days 37.5 1X day | 7/10/2021 | 4 | Bacterial vaginosis infection | Vaginal bleeding like I was having a period. The problem is I'm 70 years old so not a period.
