| 5 | BV | None | Great. Knocked out the odor quickly. | F | 41 | 5 days | 12/8/2004 | 5 | I have used this several times with no side effects. However, this morning I had two large white clumpy clots. I did not like this. | F | 48 | 5 days 1X day | 2/27/2021 | 5 | Bacterial Infection | White, clumpy discharge but a little different than yeast infection. BV clumps are way bigger for me. I also had brown, flaky like discharge. Looked like dry blood and it's happened before. Not sure if this is normal or not since I do have an IUD. | F | 20 | 5 days 1X O | 10/3/2020 | 5 | BV | I don't know why there are so many negative comments. I have used this multiple times and I literally swear by it. It has my vagina smelling perfect after and it works so well. Yes there is clumpy discharge but that is just your vagina working it's magic and pushing out the infection the clumpiness will go away in a few days. I repeatedly get BV for the past few years they think it might be because it can get transmitted back and forth from your partner/ some people just have unbalanced pH levels which bacteria thrives in so it's not their fault nor can they do much about it. This stuff works like magic on it though. | F | 23 | 5 days 70g 1X day | 10/27/2020 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Cramps, Metallic Taste, Slight Headache, Fatigue | The Dr prescribed me to take for 7 nights. I took for 5 nights. It appears to not be gone away completely because I didn't finish the remaining 2 days. I took a yeast pill after to prevent yeast infection. Not sure if I should start treatment over or just wait a few more days for relief. I don't what to go to the Dr again. | F | 43 | 5 days 70G 1X day | 5/15/2021 | 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 | 5 | BV but no odor | No side effects. It Worked on day one. Discharge subsided the very next day. The gel never leaked out. I'm curious as to how it absorbs. Took it at bedtime and the next day I worked standing on my feet all day. No leakage. Wore a pad thinking it would be messy; no leakage no discharge. | Worked immediately. On day 2/5 | F | 49 | 5 days 1X day | 2/10/2023 | 5 | BV | White discharge mixed with the gel, brown hard clumps of vagina tissue, very mild cramping | Only started getting the brown hard clumps of tissue around day 4-5 and they went away the day after my last treatment. The white clumps were very small and unproblematic. The gel worked very fast but always finish your dosage completely to kill all bad bacteria! | F | 20 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 2/25/2023 | 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 | 1/13/2017 | 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 | 1/23/2016 | 5 | BV slight odor | Smell went away after 1st dosage. No discharge, slight itching toward the end of treatment. 3 weeks later my menstrual is very very dark brown (at the beginning of cycle). This is alarming but I hope it will go away. | F | 37 | 5 days 1X day | 2/26/2016 | 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 | 8/1/2016 | 5 | Bv | White spongy balls, also has what looks like reddish brown discharge combination. Odor gone since the first tubal application. Yes, I'm bloated in my abdomen, can even get a little nauseous, but it works a heck of alot better than the metronidazole pill. The pill works, but that taste it leaves even when meds are completed..yuck...also the pills make me very nauseous. | I love that it's clear and 5 days. | F | 43 | 5 days 1X day | 7/9/2020 | 5 | BV | Thick white chunky discharge | Chunky discharge after 5 days | F | 25 | 5 days | 6/17/2020 | 5 | BV | Gas, minor bloating, fatigue, cottage cheese-like discharge (days 2-5, and a few days after completion) no odor associated with discharge | I have taken oral antibiotic for BV before, this did not seem to have nearly as large of an impact on daily life as oral antibiotic. While vaginal insertion of gel was"inconvenient", the gel itself was less invasive than yeast treatment (cream) and seemed to stay put better than the antifungal cream. 5 days is also much better than the 7 or 10 day oral antibiotic treatments I've had. Will take again. Also considering the idea of using for prevention on the 2x a week scheme my midwife mentioned. | F | 27 | 5 days | 6/25/2020 | 5 | BV | On day one and about an hour after first dose i had the clear gel coming out with thick white clumps. It's been about 4 hours now and the smell has cleared up. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms but will update post if I do. | 5.5 months pregnant. Used pill first and had horrible side effects | F | 33 | 5 days | 6/27/2020 | 5 | I had bv | I'm on day 4 and so far so good | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 7/29/2020 | 5 | bv | I am on the third day, have two more doses left. So far it has worked to get rid of my symptoms. The only side effect Ive had is white clumpy discharge and sometimes it is even a little pink/maroonish. Im wondering if Im spotting? I saw other have this too so I am not as worried | F | 21 | 5 days | 4/3/2019 | 5 | BV after a UTI | I was introduce to metrogel when I was about 20 years old it always been affect with me and does the job better than oral medication down size is cramping a little and bowel movement I figure it working | F | 40 | 5 days 1x a day | 4/8/2017 | 5 | BV | I had to use the cream for 5 days the only side effect I had was the clumpy tissue like discharge and I was so nervous because I wasn't sure what it was . Contacted my NP and she said it's perfectly fine . States I'll have it for a few days it's only a side effect . | F | 23 | 5 days | 10/31/2019 |
