| 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Vaginal Metrogel gave me peripheral neuropathy, a kind of burning and tingling sensation in my feet. I still have it four months later. | I have read that hydrogen peroxide douche once per day for seven days works to treat bacterial vaginosis. I would have preferred to have tried that first. | F | 53 | 7 days 1X day | 5/2/2010 | 4 | bv | extreme bloating, slight nausea at times, feeling of fullness, late period, back ache | M | 39 | 5 days 1X day | 4/28/2010 | 5 | BV | First day felt a little woozy but after that I felt great!! I had minimal of the "white toilet tissue" coming out but again, that's probably the left over bad bacteria and medicine clumping together. Rather have it come out than stay in! | I have BV 3 times this year and I have used the oral route the first two. Well when I got it a third time I read how sometimes the pill kills all bacteria in you so chances are you will keep getting BV. Also, the pill (taken 2x per day) is just disgusting. Leaves a horrible taste in my mouth and I can hardly stomach it. I liked the gel alot because it seemed to instantly start working. I had BARELY any side effects but you have to remember no 2 people are alike. You can read all the comments you want on here but everyones reaction will be different!! I may have had the best experience and the next girl had the worst! | F | 24 | 7 days .75 1X day | 4/12/2010 | 4 | BV | Abdominal cramps. Chunky, stringy white clumps of discharge, some vaginal irritation. Sensitivity to the sun. | I was getting worried about the cramps and discharge (being 20 weeks pregnant). Its good to know that others have the same symptoms. The cramps and strange discharge started the day after my first dose. Tomorrow is my last dose, so I will know if it actually worked, but the odor and previous discharge seem to be gone. I had BV last time I got pregnant too, but I think I took pills that time. | F | 27 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 4/11/2010 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Crazy clumpy white discharge that looks like clumps of white toilet paper! Freaked me out when I saw this on day three, used some monistat last night because I thought maybe I had a yeast infection. It has been 5 days, so tonight is my last dosage, after reading about this discharge I feel much better and won't use the monistat again. I wish I would have found this site a few days ago, the discharge was really starting to freak me out. Why isn't this discharge stated as a side effect?? | On the bright side the bv seems to have cleared up, no smell, no itch, feels normal down there. | F | 34 | 5 days 1X day | 4/10/2010 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Experienced headaches, nausea, and slight dizziness in the beginning. | Has really helped. Stopped the itching within 30 min on the first day. By the second day, the itching had almost completely stopped, but experienced clumpy white discharge. By day three, the discharge stopped and the itching completely stopped. Day four is tomorrow and I'm expecting that it will be completely healed after treatment. Prescribed two Diflucan pill as well. Overall I am satisfied | F | 21 | 5 days 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 2 | Vagina dryness (which I believe caused small cuts in surrounding vagina) causing burning and irritation when urinating and wiping, itching, irritation and chunky large white pinkish/reddish discharge. Are this side-effects?? | I was recommended to use the gel for 10/days, however, stopped after 3/day due to menstrual cycle. I than started treatment and on for 7/days. I don't feel as if it worked fast enough and absolutely had all the side effects. I am confuse if my symptoms are side effects or if this is expected?? This was my first time being diagnosed with BV and I fear reoccurances. It is painful and so uncomfortable. I hate it. | F | 35 | 11 days .75% 1X day | 4/7/2010 | 1 | supposed BV | Immediately felt like I'd been poisoned and felt very weird, out-of-it, almost out-of-body feeling; developed peripheral neuropathy within just hours from elbows to tips of fingers and from knees down to toes. | F | 27 | 1 days 1X day | 4/6/2010 | 4 | BV | White clumpy discharge | This is my 2nd time using metrogel....it worked wonders the first time, light discharge and it caused a yeast infection because of all the antibiotics I was using prior to it. I followed with Monistat 7 and I was great for about 2months. Then the BV came back and I just finished last dosage last night....discharge is gone...just hope I'm all good now. Guess this isn't for everyone....once u find what's good for u...just stick with that! | F | 25 | 5 days 1X day | 4/4/2010 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | No side effects at all. | I finished my last treatment 2 nights ago, and I had absolutely NONE of the discharge that others here experienced. No burning either. Some of the medicine came out when I had a bowel movement, but that's it. After reading comments on this site I was fully expecting the giant globs of discharge, but that didn't happen for me. I am not prone to yeast infections (I've maybe had 3 in my life), so maybe that's why I didn't experience adverse side effects. I started taking FemDolphilus a few days before treatment (I ordered it from iherb.com) and I also took some folic acid for the last couple of days of treatment. This was my first time to be diagnosed with BV, so hopefully I won't get a recurrence later on. Also, I had one margarita with my dinner during treatment, and I did not have any adverse "Antabuse" effects. Good luck ladies! | F | 34 | 5 days 1X day | 3/29/2010 | 1 | BV | This medicine did not work at all. It actually made my BV WORSE after I went through the pain and nausea taking this medicine for almost a week. | I will have to move to the pill to treat my infection. My mother even told me that the gel does not work. | F | 19 | 5 days 1X day | 3/29/2010 Patient History | 3 | Dryness,disorientation (not feeling so bright) and slight cramping. I have some discharge but the clumping visibility is more or less isolated to when using the restroom.Also, I am experiencing high sensitivity to the sun. | Just a note: I had a glass of wine with dinner the other day and this medication increased the effects 100 percent. I don't think I would wish the effects I felt from the experience on anyone. It was very frighting! I know it says not to drink but goodness.. every medication says that and it was only a glass of wine. I have several more days of using this drug and to be honest I am not looking forward to it. | F | 26 | 3 days .75 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 1 | BV | Very, very sick. The day after I inserted the first dose, extreme nausea, abdominal pain, bloating and gas, body aches, chills. I thought I had a virus, but I had no fever. Extreme fatigue, nausea and bloating continued. I just took dose 4 last night and awoke completely ill once again. I CANNOT EAT AT ALL. | This drug is making me so very sick. I wish I had gone on this site last night before I took the dose. Now I have another day at least of being so ill. I NEVER lose my appetite and eat all day long usually. I cannot tolerate food in my mouth or stomach. I am choking down my coffee. Intense nausea, out of control flatulance and bloating, fatigue, head ache, body aches, abdominal PAIN.....this is CRAZY! I have never had such a intense side effects to any medication. I thought I was dying at first until I checked this site. I have taken the pills before and did not have this effect. I do not drink. I am in so much abdominal pain, burning cramping stomach. I will not take the next dose or any dose of this ever again. I am shocked that a vaginal suppository is making my whole body so very sick. | M | 49 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 4 | BV | White tissue paper like and stringy light pink discharges. | I had gone to the gyno and I mentioned a fishy odor I had noticed. She said I had BV that was just starting and perscribed me the metrogel. It cleared up my issues so far. I was concerned about the "do not drink alcohol while taking this medication label". I decided to test it out. I had several glasses of wine. The only thing I noticed was a few fleeting instances of slight nausea. Nothing too bad for me but everyone is different! | F | 23 | 3 days 5 mg 1X day | 3/26/2010 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | I've had a yeast infection before and have been prescribed the gel but did not have the same side effects that I did this time around... which have been this disgusting stringy white discharge... sooo gross !!!! | Like people were saying "toilet paper like discharge" I was worried so thats why I'm researching it but now that I see its normal I feel alot better!! I just finished the gel yesterday :) | F | 20 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/24/2010 | 4 | BV | I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON! I did not have any white clumps, I only had nausea and cramps, BUT- my period has always been 1-2 days and I have never needed a tampon, all of the sudden IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND A HALF! VERY HEAVY not slowing down. No one else had this issue.. Should I be worried? please e mail me | F | 18 | 5 days 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 3 | BV | Day one on the Metrogel...bit of stomach discomfort...burning, other than that nothing. | Curious if anyone out there has consumed alcohol while taking this? I have a party to go to and want to be able to imbibe, but am a bit scared off by the drug warnings and interactions. I will say though, that I found several sites that said there was no proof that there was any reaction from alcohol. Thoughts or experiences? | F | 48 | 5 days 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 3 | vaginal irritation&urinary frequenc | my heart would race within a half hour after inserting the medicine, but this eventually went away. some abdominal pain, not too bad. CHUNKY WHITE INSANE GLOBS OF DISCHARGE | This site helped me a lot when I was freaking out about the white discharge. I wanted to tell everyone DO NOT ASSUME IT IS YEAST. I called my doctor and they said this discharge is normal and it should clear up within 2-4 days after stopping the medicine. I had gigantic globs coming out of me, especially when I pooped or exercised. This discharge disappeared within 2 days after my 5 day treatment, and I'm glad I didn't do a yeast infection treatment, which could've further messed things up if it was unecessary. This medicine helped my problem, I think, though it was mentally challenging to deal with the insanity of the discharge. | F | 26 | 5 days 1 applicat 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 5 | BV | WELL LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE I HAVE WHITE DISCHARGE LIKE A YEAST INFEACTION BUT I'M ITCH FREE AND CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH.... | F | 23 | 4 days 2X day | 3/6/2010 | 1 | BV | OMG, nasty white toilet-tissue looking stuff that came out along with excess gel on 3rd day. ew ew ew. Im glad I found this blog/site. I hope that white stuff goes away soon | Im glad I found this blog/site. I got a pill once to treat it, no side effects. now i moved to richmond and they gave me this gel. i dnt like it at all. | F | 19 | 5 days 5 grms 1X day | 3/1/2010 |
