| 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 | BV | This is my first time having BV and using this medication. I feel tired, headache, nauseous, lack of appetite, some slight cramping and mild eye pain. No discharge. Not sure if the eye pain is from the medication or because I work on the computer all day. Odor & itch are completely gone which is good but these side effects put me on my ass! I have 2 days left and I can not wait to be finished! | F | 32 | 5 days 75 1X day | 12/10/2020 | 3 | BV | I started bleeding after the use of gel | F | 32 | 3 days 1X day | 1/24/2021 | 3 | BV | I had cramping and sensitivity on the right ovary as well as red/brown clumpy discharge. I’m two months pregnancy and not sure if that discharge is normal. | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 7/30/2023 | 3 | BV | I'm using metronidazole vaginal gel And I have withe discharge and red discharge I was so scared and searching online to see if its normal or not , now I feel better after I saw so many people have a same side effect | F | 32 | 4 days 0.75 | 1/16/2014 | 1 | BV | Had an STD test---positive for BV-started Metrogel 5day dosage! Days 1-3 cramping-not severe-no discharge; SMELL DID GO AWAY AFTER DAY 2! Day 4 cramping-not severe and gel discharge--vagina is very dry and sore; Day 5 cramping-not severe--vagina is nearly untouchable from clitoris down----even hurt to blot dry!!! Lots of clumpy, white discharge but IM GLAD TO BE DONE!!! Also VERY ITCHY!!! TOOK DIFLUCAN ONE DOSE and put anti itch cream on my lady parts! The aftermath: Days 6-8 lots of white mixed with specks of red and brownish, maroon clumpy discharge. Vagina was still sore to touch and itched terribly until Day 8 Currently on Day 9-no sex, still having clumpy brown discharge--attempting to do the shower head thing and still applying the anti itch cream... | Hopefully the discharge will stop SOON and I NEVER GET BV AGAIN. If so, I WILL TRY the pill. This is messy and dries your vagina terribly!! | F | 32 | 5 days 30MG | 2/20/2020 | 1 | Bv | Woke up with the worst migraine ever this morning and threw up twice. Also, my right hand was numb and tingly. | I'm not going to continue because of these side effects | F | 32 | 3 days .75 1X day | 12/2/2020 | 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 | 1 | BV | I am so thankful I found this site. I am also experiencing the same white toilet paper-like discharge and had no idea if it was normal or what to make of it. Now I see it is a common side effect. I really wish I had read this board BEFORE I took the medication, as the burning I originally had has increased significantly since I finished taking the medication 2 days ago and the discharge only seems to be getting worse. Sex is also very painful, due to dryness and irritation. I never had any odor to begin with, so I dont know if the infection is actually gone. I have scheduled a follow-up appt. with my doctor and will post again in a few days to update my progress. | Look for an alternative to this medication, as the cons out-weigh the pros. Had I known about the severity of the side-effects, I would have not taken this medication at all. | F | 32 | 5 days | 7/10/2005 | 1 | BV | I Also have the wet tissue discharge that is stuck in the vaginal area. | I have been off the treatment for 3 days, and am getting ready to travel. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG THE WHITE KRAP WILL BE THERE???????????? PLEASE LET ME KNOW... YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT [email protected] THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS WEBSITE! (Find another option for BV you will be thankfull!) | F | 32 | 5 days | 1/30/2006 | 5 | BV | White clumpy discharge | After Day 1, odor went away. After Day 3, white clumpy discharge like wet toilet paper. After having reviewed this site, I feel relieved to see that that seems typical. Wish the pamphlet would've been more descriptive. I have avoided sex (hard!), but not alcohol. No adverse effects that I can tell from having had a drink. | F | 31 | 5 days 1X day | 9/10/2011 | 5 | bv | mild, some morning cramping, no discharge yet | what about drinking alcohol while taking this gel? | F | 31 | 2 days | 9/28/2006 | 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'm on day 2 and I've had no side effects -- not even discharge. The smell was gone by day one, which is a miracle for me. | F | 31 | 2 days | 3/8/2009 | 5 | BV | White toilet-paper like flecks in vagina | THIS ADVICE MIGHT HELP SOME WITH SIDE-EFFECTS: I am using Miphil (which is the Metrogel equivalent in Italy). I had milky white, thin (like skimmed milk) secretions from my vagina that always left my underwear wet and my lower area! No smell, but a little redness and a tiny bit of buring when I urinated. In the morning I would have more wetness/whiteness down below. My gyno suggested the following, Use Miphil (Metrogel) once every 3 days (for a month) and every morning douche with "Edenil 0,1g by Zambon". Edenil helps restore the natural PH of your vagina, while Miphil kills all bacteria (good and bad). Douching with Edenil also helps flush out the white toilet-paper like flecks. I also take a lactobaacilllus (fermenti lattici= Enterolactis) in water every morning to help restore the good bacteria (natural flora) in my intestine and eventually my vagina. Hopefully this will stop any yeast infection from coming once I stop using the gel. I'll keep you updated. | F | 31 | 1 weeks | 6/5/2007 | 4 | BV | Back pains, white thick discharge that I could take out with my finger. Helping though, the smell went away. | F | 31 | 4 days | 6/21/2012 | 4 | BV 5 months pregnant | I thought I had a Yeast Infection at first until my OB visit where she confirmed it was BV. I was afraid to use the drug with my pregnancy but, because I was so miserable and feared going into pre-term labor (BV can cause this) I used the drug. The first night, the itching got worse than before, I had mild burning and I had some pinkish discharge the next day. My doc said this was due to the applicator rubbing against the vaginal wall and tearing away some of the already sensitive tissue due to the infection. The second night I began having the "wet toilet paper" discharge and until this rating board (thank goodness)I thought it was just that-- wet toilet paper. I will be taking my second to last dose tonight. I no longer have any cramping, lower back pain or flank pain and I think it is working. I am worried about my baby but God-willing it will all be okay. I will be contacting MetroGel and ask them to add the side-effects to the leaflet. They are important to know! | I am thankful that it is working and I would recommend it. I will post another posting after my baby is born to let you know if, heaven-forbid, it caused anything or if I had any complications due to the medication. | F | 31 | 5 days | 12/5/2005 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Thick, yellowish clumpy paste-like discharge. | I just wanted to know if the strange discharge was normal. Seems to be. | F | 31 | 5 days .75% 1X day | 3/31/2011 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | White clumpy discharge and lower abdominal discomfort. | I'm actually on a 14 day treatment. My first time being diagnosed with BV was in mid July of this year. I was put on metronidazole for 5 days and was good to go. It came back 3 months to the date later. I'm not currently sexually active, no STD, no other health issues. I have, however, been having issues with hemorrhoids more now than ever. Not sure if that's linked but I sure wish more research was done on this. I pray this doesn't turn into a cycle. I take all of my vitamins and probiotics. I eat yogurt like its at an all you can eat buffet. | F | 31 | 10 days 0.75 | 10/30/2015 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | After using the gel for 5 days I experience white clumps of discharge but I feel okay. I also see it doing intercourse can someone tell me how long this will last? | F | 31 | 5 days 0.75 | 4/24/2014 |
