| 5 | becaue i was a whore | I had bad odor and clumpy discharge. | I stunk like a skunk with great funk. | F | 15 | 2500 days | 1/14/2005 | 2 | colposcopy / cryotherapy | i had an abnormal pap which led to a colposcopy and cryotherapy of my cervix. my doctor prescribed this following both procedures (about 2 months apart). following the colposcopy i took the medication for 7 days and had the white clumpy discharge that has been described before. i got my period during this time and it completely changed that as well. my doctor said he'd never heard of anyone else's period being affected by this medication. my period returned to normal the following month. but following the cryotherapy i had the white discharge, however, my cervix doesn't seem to be healing and the discharge is like nothing i've ever seen before, red and clumpy (possibly scaby) 3 weeks later. i stopped the medication last night. | ask your doctor for an alternative treatment before settling on this. | F | 35 | 22 days | 4/22/2005 | 4 | BV | Prescribed the gel to clear up bv. Gel did great clearing infection, however the white clumpy discharge after usage is extremely irritating. It's been 4 days since I've ended treatment and im still having the discharge. I've also had two dosages of diflucan, because my doctor assumes a yeast infection has occurred, but still no help. When will the discharge end? | F | 26 | 14 days 1X day | 8/13/2020 | 2 | BV | I like the rest of you though that I was crazy until I read this board. I have the same cottage cheese dischage, which is worse then what made me go on the drug in the first place. This is my second time on it in 3 months, and I have the same dryness that gives me pain after I have sex. I am in the healthcare industry and I was shocked and scared by the effects of the medicine. The company should really put it in the drug package insert. Contact the company to complain, it is an FDA violation if they do not add it to their drug information once they hear about this great number of similiar side effects! | I am going to try to take a vaginal moisturizer after this does to see if it helps with the dryness. | F | 24 | 14 days | 5/26/2005 | 2 | Vagina dryness (which I believe caused small cuts in surrounding vagina) causing burning and irritation when urinating and wiping, itching, irritation and chunky large white pinkish/reddish discharge. Are this side-effects?? | I was recommended to use the gel for 10/days, however, stopped after 3/day due to menstrual cycle. I than started treatment and on for 7/days. I don't feel as if it worked fast enough and absolutely had all the side effects. I am confuse if my symptoms are side effects or if this is expected?? This was my first time being diagnosed with BV and I fear reoccurances. It is painful and so uncomfortable. I hate it. | F | 35 | 11 days .75% 1X day | 4/7/2010 | 5 | BV during pregnancy | I didn't even know I had a BV until I went in for my pelvic exam because I'm pregnant (4 months). I didn't have any odor at all, but have always had excess discharge normally, and being pregnant, I've heard that it only gets worse, so didn't think anything of it. I was given MetroGel and told that I would have "mucous-like" discharge after the first few days, but instead of anything slimy, I got a tablespoon-sized clump of white, chunky cottage cheese stuff come out of me after the 4th day during sex (with a condom--the doc said I could have sex, but needed to wait until the end of the dosage time). It's still coming out, but I'm glad to know that it's the medicine, and not just me with a raging infection. Whew! | The doc just told me to finish the tube instead of taking the normal 5-day dose. I have about 1 more syringe-full left, and tonight will be my 11th night, just in case anyone is curious. Thanks to whoever it is for the tip about eating yogurt regularly (with Acidophilus) or taking a supplement to promote the "good" healthy bacterial growth since MetroGel kills both the good and the bad bacteria. Also, thanks for the tip about using a condom for a month afterwards so your vagina can repopulate her bacteria better, since having sex without a condom can cause BV. :) | F | 23 | 10 days | 4/7/2006 | 5 | BV | I've had BV off and on for the past 2 years...every 3 or 4 months I seem to get it. I'm supposed to take the gel once a night for 10 days (which I've done), and then twice a week for 3 months. I'm experiencing the clearish/thick discharge that looks like wet toilet paper in the toilet...and just the other day a huge clump of white lumpy discharge fell out also. I figured that was the start of a yeast infection maybe. | I asked my gyno if maybe my partner has it and keeps passing it back to me after I'm cured from it, but she says it isn't passed from partner to partner. | F | 24 | 10 days | 7/5/2006 | 5 | BV | The company really needs to add on it's insert that this med causes the clumpy whte discharge...it freaked me out!!!! | F | 32 | 10 days | 10/24/2005 | 4 | BV | Cottage cheese discharge and no explanation to if this is normal or not?? | F | 39 | 10 days | 3/14/2005 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I did not have any side effects. I did not even get a yeast infection after taking it at bedtime for 10 days. | I had to wear a panty liner at night because the medicine leaks out, but during the day there was no leakage or discharge. | F | 33 | 10 days | 1/18/2008 | 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 | 4 | bacterial vaginitus | The only side effect was a little burning at first which went away by day 2. | This medicine helped with the discomfort and that constance itch and burning of skin went a way after a few days of use. The doctor told me to use gel for 10 days twice a day because I have type two diabetes. I got this because I was on antibiotics for a few weeks. I also have been taking probiotics and eating yogurt.I do stay away from sugar etc. It seems that with diabetes it is easy to get these infections know matter what you do. The itch itch just came back today after a few months so I am on my second prescription of the medicine. Just started using it today and the itch is under control already. So glad for this medicine and will use it again. It has made my life better but just want this to finally go away for good. Thanks to this web site I knew what to expect from using the gel the first time. I too wish that all the warnings where printed on the paper that happen from using the gel. Maybe our doctors should better inform us what to expect from using this gel. Hopefully this time the medicine will cure it for good and it will stay gone. | F | 60 | 10 days | 9/25/2009 | 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 | 2 | BV | I always have yeast infection. all the time. I moved and came in the USA so a doctor because it was itching and burning. Result... yeast infection NO WAY. Treatment for one week. One week later I saw ne again. No symptoms anymore but he told me this time BV... Ok... metronidazole 0.75% for 5 days. Terrible side effects, stomach pain, constipation/diarrhea at the same time and TERRIBLE CREEPY NASTY DESGUSTING discharge. i had my period and after the first dose I got the nasty brown and really dry discharge. It looked like cooked beef. I can tell you I freaked out. I show my husband and he was like BRRRRRR. Anyway, I went to see my gyneco again and he told me... BV still there it s not gone. keep on doing this for 5 more days... So I started again. White dry thick discharge that I wont see on the toilet paper but that I have to take off by myself because if I don't empty my vagina it stays!! One month without sex with my husband... I am getting depressed. | F | 26 | 10 days 0.75% 1X day | 12/3/2014 | 2 | BV | it leaked out constantly, with burning and cramping. horrible white clumpy discharge. the smell disappeared. | this was a last resort due to my last episode of BV where i was given the oral metro pills. (where i experienced really bad side effects) | F | 20 | 10 days | 11/13/2009 | 2 | Bv infection | After 2 days I noticed a large increase of clumpy white discharge. Even after using the gel I still exprience the same symptoms. For future references I rather take the tablet anytine | F | 24 | 10 days | 1/24/2013 | 1 | bv | chunky pink discharge like others describe, cramping, sensitivity. | I"ve also had bv about 4-5 times. I did some study on pH levels- when the vagina is acidic ( as opposed to alkalytic) it harbors bad bacteria and the good ones die out. I also take acidophilus, and there is a tea tree oil remedy that works well. I got this one from a colleague of my NP: Create a tea tree oil mixture with tea tree oil and a buffer oil (I use olive oil). The tea tree oil must be therapeutic grade, and it is a good idea to do a patch test before putting the mixture in you. Make up some mixture and swab it on your inner arm around your elbow and cover it up. Wait 24 hours to see if you develop a reaction. If not, put drops of tea tree oil on a plate with 1-2 tsp. other oil and soak it up with a tampon and insert before bed. Do it for a week and it will clear up the bv w/o all those crazy and horrifying side effects. Im sure you can find info about this remedy online. Thank God I found this site!! | F | 23 | 10 days | 9/15/2005 | 4 | bv | White clumpy discharge, cramping, bloating, upset stomach. Also after i finished my 7th day i noticed a green tint to my discharge, has this happend to anyone else? Just called my dr so we shall see when she calls back. | F | 24 | 8 days | 2/29/2012 | 5 | I had a fishy smell with discharge | None | F | 37 | 7 days 1mg | 4/22/2012 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginitis | After I finished the recommended dosage, I went to urinate one day and after wiping myself, I saw big clumpy sponge-like material coming from me.I kept wiping and more and more came out.I was so horrified but I figured that it was only a side effect from the medicine.The gel really helped but that sponge-like material really creeped me out. | F | 26 | 7 days 0.75% | 2/18/2012 |
