| 3 | BV | Lots of large white clumps and brown spongy stuff that looked like flesh more recently. | I took the pill form back in May! (Today is 7-8-09) The brown things just started coming out a few days ago, that really concerns me. I've gone to 4 doctors now who know my entire history since this began in May and none of them mentioned this! I even had an ultrasound done yesterday! If this is the true cause of my symptoms I am so mad!!!! I have missed so much work going to doctors that give me "normal" test results!! | F | 26 | | 7/8/2009 | 3 | Bacterial Infection | 2 doses (skipped 3rd day by accident) and picked up the next day. Tonight is my fifth and last treatment. I started my treatment the day I got my period, which ended yesterday morning... yet I nearly fell over when last night I had clumpy, brown flesh discharge. Today was MUCH worse- (so much, it looked like a bm) I am thankful to all of you writing about this- I called the doctor's office back not to have him call when I came across this site and the many responses. | I am worried about the consequences of this medication. It appears as if it is burning the inside of the uteris- scraping pieces off. I will never use this again and go back to a more natural approach if needed. I find it wrong that this is not a warning provided by the pharmaceutical company NOR the doctor! | M | 32 | 5 days | 6/23/2009 | 3 | I am relieved to see this information. This is my 2nd time taking the Metrogel in the past year and a half. I finished the treatment about 3 days ago, still having the brown discharge and today there were huge clumps of what I thought was yeast. no itching or burning. slight headaches off and on. i also noticed that when i actually inserted the gel, when i pulled out the applicator there were cottage cheese like specks on it. but nothing as clumpy and gross as these yeast-like clumps. I hope this goes away soon! | F | 32 | 5 days | 6/20/2009 | 3 | BV | Same results as most. Clumpy whiteish/brownish/pinkish discharge. Vagina has small cuts that do not seem to be going away. Cramps and trouble focusing. | Only on day 3 but the last time I took the medication I did have to clear up a yeast infection that it caused. | F | 22 | 3 days | 6/18/2009 | 4 | BV | I'm almost done with the metrogel in one more day. I have experienced cramping, burning, UTI symptoms that are severe when urinating. Normal white clear clumping with the red/brown specs by day 3. This all seems to be normal results of the gel working, unless hives rashes or short of breath occur. Use a over the counter itch cream for outside burning and itching if persistent and bothersome. Taking acidophilus while on the medication will decrease the risk of a yeast infection, but if it still remains a prescription for yeast may be administered by your doctor. I would not recommend taking over the counter yeast infection treatments because they can cause the BV to come back. | F | 24 | 4 days | 6/17/2009 | 4 | BV | VERY slight abdominal cramps and discharge | I figured it was the gel coming back out when I saw the discharge but then I saw a really big clump and that freaked me out a bit but glad I saw other comments mentioning the symptom. It would be extremely helpful if this side effect were listed on the paper but whatever. The only thing I want to know is how long is this discharge supposed to last? Someone email me back if you know. Thanks! | F | 20 | 4 days | 6/14/2009 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Two days after taking metrogel, I had a mutant yeast infection which took months to clear. It turned into Vulvar Vestibulitis, similar to another reviewer below. This is chronic pain in the vestibule of the vulva, which prevented me from having intercourse or using tampons. It took me two years to get diagnosed (most doctors couldn't find what is wrong with me) and after one year of physical therapy, I have a somewhat healthy vagina. | F | 32 | 5 days | 6/7/2009 | 3 | BV | some nausea, cramping, lower back pain and white curd-like discharge almost immediately after taking it. | I finished the medicine 3 days ago and I still have the discharge and cramping. I have been freaking out until today when I found this site. The discharge has no odor and theres no itching or anything. I called a pharmacist and was told it's prob a yeast infection, but now that I've read this site I see that it's prob just side effects that I WISH someone had told me about. Thank God for this site. I feel much better, though I'm still wondering when the cramps and discharge will be gone. | F | 40 | 5 days | 5/30/2009 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Slight cramps and a wet toilet paper-like discharge after the 3rd day of treatment. It continued until I stopped taking the medicine. | Overall, the gel was effective = it did what it was supposed to do. I thought the medicine had given me a yeast infection when I saw the white discharge. It was only a temporary side effect of the drug though. I would recommend taking the pill form (Flagyl) before using the gel. | F | 26 | 5 days | 5/26/2009 | 4 | BV | slight lightheadedness and light cramping. | I would sometimes get slightly lightheaded, and slight cramping. I had some discharge (the medicine coming back out-gravity), but nothing that was bothersome. I think having to insert the medicine bothered me more. | F | 27 | 5 days | 5/19/2009 | 5 | BV | Smelly discharge during sex | I think this cream soothes as I had mild burning sensation. The excess discharge stopped within day 2. I must say that everytime I take the morning after pill I get BV! So look out for that ladies. | F | 28 | 5 days | 5/18/2009 | 4 | BV | wet tissue clumps after like the forth day | thank goodness i found this sight! i was scared out my mind. i am 7 months pregnant and i was put on this for 10 days. i researched the clumps of tissue looking stuff and said some crazy stuff. i didnt have nausea or any of that. just the clumps that were quite annoying | F | 21 | 10 days | 5/15/2009 | 3 | BV | Brown/reddish discharge, alot started day 3 on day 4 and heavy..not due for my period for three days. maybe an early on set? please help. | F | 23 | 4 days | 5/15/2009 | 5 | BV | dark grainy bits & clear discharge (the extra gel leaving my body) | BV cleared up pretty fast. The grainy bits in discharge freaked me out at first because I wasn't expecting it & I couldn't find any info on it until I found this site. Good to know that it's relatively normal, ha. Signs of BV came back soon after quitting the treatment so I picked it back up for a few days. So far so good. SOO glad I found this site! | F | 24 | 5 days | 5/11/2009 | 4 | Vanginitus | When I was using Metro Vaginal Gel, I experienced alot of cottage looking discharge. It was disgusting. I also experience abdominal pain accompanied with headaches and nausea for the first day of using it. Hopefully this material works. | F | 15 | 5 days | 5/10/2009 | 5 | Discharge | After the second day of starting Metrogel I began having the clumpy toilet paper discharge. I also noticed that I became light headed on two occasions which I don't know for sure can be from the medication. However, since MG is an antibiotic which can also cause yeast infections, it is safe to say that this is why we're getting the clumps, But Geez why didn't our doctors warn us about this seeing that it is a VERY common PROBLEM!!!!! | THEY SHOULD REALLY INCLUDE THIS VERY ANNOYING SIDE EFFECT ON THE PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS MEDICATION. | F | 31 | 4 days | 5/8/2009 | 5 | bv | I am on my last day of using the gel and i havent had any side effects so far. i think its a great product. | the only thing i disliked was the thick white discharge on the 1st-3rd day of using the product. | F | 27 | 5 days | 5/8/2009 | 4 | BV | I only experienced mild nausea on days 4 and 5 of treatment, and a general ill health feeling. The first few days, I did not experience any side effects. The smelly discharge went away immediately. I've also been taking acidophilus (the pill form) and yogurt with fruit for breakfast. My doctor told me that the gel will come back out white (this was before I even started the metrogel), so I was prepared. So far, I haven't even experienced the clumpy white discharge, but I haven't had sex with my husband yet either. | Overall, I think this is a good product. Side effects were mild, and it ultimately cleared the smelly fishy odor and leaky discharge. This was my first bv infection so hopefully it won't come back!!!! Think positive thoughts. | F | 33 | 5 days | 5/5/2009 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | worked after first day treatment. had fishy smell and creamy discharge. thought it was a yeast infection but dr gave me diflucan pill amd symptoms did not go away. I'm on my 4th day and all symptoms are gone. no fishy smell or discharge. the only thing I don't like is the discharge from the medicine coming out. very creamy and clumpy kinda like wet tissue paper or glue from a glue stick. can't wait till it all comes out. other than that it works great! | 4 days | 5/4/2009 | 3 | BV | Some vaginal burning, white cheesy discharge, green/brown discharge on the last day and the day after treatment completion (5 day treatment), anal itching and subsequent hemorrhoid (went away after one day of topical treatment), abdominal pain and discomfort, diarrhea and gas. | I HATE taking this medication... but I can't take the pill form because it is neurotoxic (caused nerve pain and tingling) and the gel is one of the only other medications that works. I used it for the 5 days, my symptoms went away after 2 days of treatment. Three weeks after treatment, I began having mild symptoms again (fishy smell upon showering with soap) so I began using it again last night. This morning my vagina was really burning, and I'm having abdominal discomfort and gas. Not sure if I should continue treatment. | F | 32 | 5 days | 5/1/2009 |
