 3  Bacterial Vaginosis Im not sexually active and I've been having reoccurring BV infections, took the pill at first and it seemed to help, but it came right back. Doc switch to gel and I'm on my first refill, have it again. Both times I had pelvic pains and cramps and I haven't had a period for awhile now, but I'm getting purple discharge that I have a sneaky suspicion is blood and I don't know whether I hurt myself with the applicator or having another scanty period. I've been trying to stay hydrated, I drink a soft drink a day along with 3 or 4 bottled waters but I'm not urinating as much as I usually do and there is a slight burn that lasts for a few minutes after I urinate. The first time taking this medicine I wasn't surprised when I saw the cottage-cheese-like stuff but I was concerned when I passed a green, membrane-like clump/clot with blood on the surface. I had no other issues with bleeding until today. It does seem to help the symptoms go away, but both it and the pill can only keep the infections at bay for a few days. I don't want to have to continue using this product, the uncomfort outweighs the short feeling of relief for the days afterward. I think I'll be making another appointment to see what we can do for me long-term since this won't let up. Please feel free to contact me if you know more about my symptoms and this product.

 5  BV Thick white discharge I LOVE this drug! I had to take it over my bday weekend so she gave me the gel so I could still party down. You can drink on the gel. I hate pills so it was perfect for me. After day 1 I woke up feeling better. By day 4 I was getting the discharge. Day 2 after last dose still had it. Perused a million pages to find this. I saw a gal mention a water only douche to get the discharge out. I only noticed it when I went to bathroom or stuck my finger in there to try to "scoop out." I saw a gal also just used the shower head to rinse it out. I verified with my doc and as long as the discharge didn't smell, itch or burn it was ok. So desperate to get that garbage out of there I did the shower head thing. And it is gone! Been gone a full day! Thank goodness!!! So weird sounding but it totally worked! F 38 5 days

 2  BV Stomache ache,dizziness, itching, slight burning in vaginal area in shower I tried to use the metrogel instead of taking the pill form of antibiotics because of the nasty taste it leaves in my mouth, but only thing the metrogel did was get rid of the odor...here on day 4 now I am noticing white clumpy discharge appearing as a result of using it. Possible yeast infection...& that just added another problem :/ I'll continue to use til day 5 but as of right now I give the metrogel a thumbs down! F 21 3 days

 4  BV I did not see a lot of patients describing hot flashes/fever as a side effect. It would last for several hours the first night but than gradually improving. It also caused sleeplessness the first 2 nights but after that it was getting better. These are the only side effects I experienced and I completed the 5 day treatment. F 50 5 days

 5  Bacterial Vaginosis As far as I know I didn't have any, but some very mild cramps. the discharge wasn't as bad as everyone said it would be. I don't know if this is a side effect but the past few days I've been very emotional. Almost depressed. I just want to cry over every single thing, and no my period is not coming. With my anxiety I was terrified to take this because I put in my head that I would have such a bad time. But it was better than expected. I could say that the medicine gave me gas, or made me feel sick. But I get gas a lot anyways. My job is hot and makes me feel sick. So I can't confirm that those were also side effects. Could have been coincidence. But over all it was great. I'd definitely use this again if needed. F 24 5 days

 1  BV Burnt not just burning. Actual chemically burnt which caused crusting during healing process. Long term damage is vulvodina This is a sulfa based antibiotic as told to me by my dermatologist. Reaction was similar to Steven johnson syndrome. The physician should have not given this to me nor the flagyl, due to my previous adverse reaction to Sulfa antibiotics causing damage to my liver. Most physicians do not know that this and flagyl are in the Sulfa antibiotic category. F 1 days

 5  Bv None really if any maybe slight cramping in pelvic area at times. I've been using metrogel for about 5 years about 2-3 times a year. It works great. It gets rid of my bv and it only comes back when my ex and I mess around without protection. The clucky white stuff u guys keep mentioning is not discharge lol. It is the excess medication coming out that doesn't absorb into your body. It brings the infection out. Same as with semen. It slides out of u but it's not your discharge. Come on ladies. It should all be gone about 2 days after finishing. F 28 5 days

 5  bv Thick white clumpy discharge from day two of treatment I think the product worked really well for the bv. Smell was gone after 1st application. But the discharge had me so concerned. Especially since I am 13 weeks pregnant. It is extremely thick and gross looking sometimes with the brownish purplish clumps. But my mind is at ease now after reading these comments. Thanks guys. Six days after treatment and I am still having the discharge although it is much less profuse now F 35 5 days
