| 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | a bit of itching, not alot of white discharge or leaking, and a bit of cramping | Not much to say it's my 4th day to this medication!! And glad tomorrow is my last, i barely got any leaks or alotof discharge come out over all everything was fine. but of itching yesterday and a small cramp the second to third day | F | 20 | 5 days 1X day | 4/3/2021 | 4 | BV | Surprisingly very little side effects so far and i’m on day 2... Just some reddish clumps when I wipe mixed with the gel | Before I started the gel I was having bad itching, swelling and redness with spotting.. Now all that has stopped thankfully. | F | 21 | 5 days | 11/4/2020 | 4 | Bv | Clumpy white discharge alot of it Some abdominal cramping on day 4 | I was reading all the coments and alot people are experiencing on and off bv and yeast infection That used to be my case on and off and it sucked, finally my doctor did a urianalysis as well as a swab because this last time ny yeast infection was just toooo much the test ended up taking 2 weeks so i used an over the counter drug which caused my BV now im saying all of this because in the urianalysis i was positive for ureaplasma it is a bacteria that causes bacterial vaginosis. This can go undiagnosed because alot of people do no have symtoms, my doctor decided to test me because i was coming back very frequently with either a yeast infection or bv so if thats something that happens to you, you might want to concider taking that exam | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 11/26/2020 | 4 | Bv | Have clumpy white wet tissue type of discharge, but i also take a probiotic as well to restore the balance down there. Doing this has cleared my infection but i still have the clumpy discharge, no smell or itch. | Doesn't work if taken by itself. Take with a probiotic to cure your bv and keep the recurrent down to zero. | F | 47 | 5 days .75mg 1X day | 11/29/2020 | 4 | BV | After the first day I already noticed the odor was gone, However it has still left me with a cottage cheese looking discharge and discharged has increased. I have read lots of post saying women say this is normal due to vagina pushing infection out through discharge. Overall I'm satisfied but ready to get this treatment over with! I'm tired of wiping and there being chunks of discharge !– | F | 21 | 5 days 75 MG 1X day | 12/3/2020 | 4 | BV | I have had some abdominal cramping, back pain, and fatigue. | I have had to use this medication several times, but it has always done what it was supposed to do. I noticed many posts referencing a white clumpy discharge. It is not uncommon to develop a yeast infection while using this medication. Perhaps a probiotic protocol during (and a while after) use would be beneficial. Unfortunately, this is rarely part of the discussion BEFORE people start using it, so it is very disturbing to witness a new symptom during treatment, not realizing the medication is creating yet another (different) problem. Good luck! | F | 59 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 10/8/2020 | 4 | Bv | Just the clumpy white discharge... | I was a bit worried.. started reading these reviews and still haven't got my answer into when does it end? I ended on a Sunday and is now Thursday, I'm worried because I am pregnant and my doctor prescribed me this.. it has yet to go away so I will give it a couple of more days and try cleaning her(kitty) out. And comeback and do another review. Extremely worried but feel nothing in pain or itching... I feel embarrassed when I'm with my husband but he still goes down knowing I'm going through this discharge lmao but I really need to fix this makes me feel so disgusted. | F | 21 | 5 days 1X day | 9/17/2020 | 4 | BV | Thick white cottage cheese clumps of discharge | F | 40 | 5 days .75 1X day | 12/8/2020 | 4 | BV | Strange clumpy, tissue-like white discharge streaked with brown blood. Nausea on and off. I used my last dose last night and have a migraine today. Overall it cleared up my symptoms and I would probably use again. | F | 37 | 5 days 1X day | 12/31/2020 | 4 | BV | Cottage cheese discharge..No one told me this would occur?? | I took 2 5 day doses a mont apart. Now i wonderif i have a yeast infection. Is this another side effect...HELP! | F | 39 | 5 days | 3/14/2005 | 4 | Thick white discharge while using, days after I finished using I was experiencing a spongy white discharge | Symptoms of the infection were gone the first day of use. | F | 24 | 5 days | 11/5/2004 | 4 | bacterial infection | I had a great amount of white clumpy discharge. It was very thick and chunky. It started on the third day of the medication and ended after about five days. | F | 18 | 5 days | 1/14/2005 | 4 | bacterial infection | White clumping while taking the metrogel-vaginal. | Two more doses left. I heard you can get yeast infection after you take the antibiotic. | F | 25 | 5 days | 2/22/2005 | 4 | BV | The only problem I encountered was a white discharge. kind of like wet toilet paper, that started in the 3rd day I started the medication and lasted until about 3 days after I was finished with the medication. And, let me say, it really freaked me out until I came to this website and read it was normal!! | F | 29 | 5 days | 3/14/2005 | 4 | BV | Thick white clumpy wet toilet paper like discharge. I'm a pharmacist and did not expect this. I'm glad I found this site and found out that this is common. They should update their patient education to add this a a side effect, not just vaginal discharge but thick white clumpy discharge! | I am satisfied because the itching and vaginal dryness, which were my symptoms of BV, went away after the first application. I still have 1 more dose to go. My BV was discovered during a pap smear. I didn't have the usual symptom of fishy discharge. | F | 28 | 5 days | 4/17/2005 | 4 | BV | I too experienced the white discharge that was similar to wet toliet paper. I wish that my gyn had mentioned this possible side effct. | M | 28 | 5 days | 5/4/2005 | 4 | BV | very intense cramping through the entire 5 days. More tired than usual and 3 days after the treatment ended, still noticing this problem. Towards day 4 of treatment, I started noticing the wierd toilet paper, rubbery white discharge. Some of it has red streaks? spots? that look like sloughing. the discharge has shown no signs of slowing down. Very distressing and certainly not a normal side effect. Especially since I had researched this thoroughly before starting treatment. | I will be contacting 3M to complain about this. The most common side effect (12%) is this disgusting discharge. That's quite a bit, and the least they could do is be more specific. Esspeiclaly since clumpy white discharge that isn't yeast is a sign of cervical or uterine cancer. No need to scare patients when a little information would help set the mind at ease. | F | 37 | 5 days | 3/4/2006 | 4 | abnormal pap | tons of white nasty discharge. I was also very hot. I temp in the morning and noticed that my temps were climbing. I had some burning and when I called the doc office they said its probably a reaction but should go away and that it wasn't normal. Fabulous! | Better side effect info | F | 29 | 5 days | 10/26/2005 | 4 | BV | slight headache | Makers should definitely insert some kind of 'disclaimer' or side effect about the clumpy white discharge. I experienced this in the end and after having taken the 5 day dosage of MetroGel. I've only been off the medication for about 2 days and i wasn't aware of how much discharge there actually was until intercourse (and theres quite a bit), where my partner and I kind of sat there puzzled as to what all this white lumpy stuff was.. haha.. finding this site was a great help and now know that it will all clear up.. so no worries, you're okay.. so far i think i am :) | F | 23 | 5 days | 2/20/2007 | 4 | BV | I'm on my 2nd day and am exhausted, not to mention that I've had a lingering headache all day. I woke up with a little bit of nausea too this morning. | I haven't experience the cottage cheese discharge yet, so maybe I'm lucky. I will eat some yogurt though to try and prevent the yeast infection. My only complaint about the applicator is that I wish it had a rounded tip, like a tampon. I feel like the round opening is kind of rigid and makes it hard to insert. | F | 28 | 5 days | 1/30/2007 |
