| 3 | BV | It didn't seem to cure the BV because I still had tons of greenish discharge even days after I finished the dose. So I started back up again and am now getting that white, tissue-like discharge you all have described. I feel so gross. I'm glad it's not a yeast infection. My husband's about to divorce me as it is! | Didn't work when I took it once a day for five days. Had to start up again. | F | 31 | 5 days | 8/27/2005 | 3 | I finished taking my medicine one day ago and since have had the dry, clumpy discharge everyone else is describing. My vulva feels irritated. I have a slight burning feeling too. I can't tell if this has cleared up the infection since the only symptom I had before was an burning vulvar sensation. | The patient information definitely should mention the discharge, vaginal dryness, and the vulva irritation. | F | 37 | 5 days | 9/12/2005 | 3 | bv pregnant | THEY NEED TO PUT THIS ON THE WARNING /SIDE EFFECT THING, THANK GOODNESS I FOUND THIS WEBSITE, CLUMPY WHITE/BROWN DISCHARGE THOUGHT I HAD A MASSIVE INFECTION CANT WAIT UNTILL IT IS OVER! | F | 23 | 5 days | 9/25/2006 | 3 | BV | Just like everyone else, I experienced the toilet paper like discharge the second day into a 5 day treatment. But I was able to deal with that as long as the smell was gone. After I completed the treatment is when all my problems started. My labia and the area outside my vagina is dry and chaffing. It hurts to wipe myself after I use the bathroom. | For the past 3 months, I've been having recurrent BV infections, and no one can tell me why. I've changed my soap, my underwear, what I eat, and increased my water intake, but still I can't get rid of it. The gel is ok, but I'll take the pill again over this anyday! | F | 28 | 5 days | 1/4/2006 | 3 | Bacterial Infection | I just feel weird. My vaginal area is very dry and I feel discomfort in my lower abdomen all the time. Kind of feels like I have to poop, but all the time. It's weird but it makes me feel better to just sit on the toilet, even when I don't have to poop. But of course I can't do this at work all day now can I? I just feel irritated. I want to go home and lay down. | Today is my first day on Metrogel. I think I'm going to finish it. Today is 6/8/06. | F | 26 | 5 days | 6/8/2006 | 3 | bv | white discharge, severe abdominal cramps. | i have taken metro gel tons of times. its effectiveness has began to wear off. the white discharge is a yeast infection caused by the metro gel for anyone who didnt know. | F | 22 | 5 days | 12/7/2006 | 3 | BV | For the first two days of taking metrogel i noticed a relief in the severity of symptoms, there is still a lingering mild burn and itching,this is the second time i have used this product and it seems to almost clear symptoms but not quite. I also panicked this morning when i had a larg rubbery white discharge but was relieved upon reading this. I also think it is important that people no NOT to smoke MARIJUANA while taking this medicine i had a very severe mental reaction and felt psychotic almost went to the hospital. I also thought I should share that on the metrogel pamphlet it says other STD possibilities should be eliminated so if it is possible u have one u should get checked out as i am doing thanks for all the comments i feel very relieved | F | 19 | 5 days | 11/8/2006 | 3 | Mild vaginal infection | I experienced brown, red clumps and it looked like little pieces of skin coming out. There was so much of it. I burned and itched and it hurt to wipe myself after urinatiing. | My doctor never told me anything not even the cause. She said use this for five days and you should be fine so when I saw the stuff coming out of me I freaked out! I had no idea what it was. Thank god for this web site because I have been seriously scared for the past few hours. Doctors really need to get with the program because that is not cool. I am not done using the stuff yet but so far it is ok I guess. | F | 21 | 5 days | 12/11/2005 | 3 | BV | White cottage-cheese like discharge, cramping | I am thankful to have found this website and discover the discharge is not uncommon. I was planning to call my ob-gyn in the morning to find out if this side effect was normal. Also, I've been feeling occasional cramping as if my period were coming (it's not due for another week). When I noticed the discharge would not go away I scoured the pamphlet and saw that "discharge" was a side effect, but there needs to be a description. This white cottage-cheese discharge is freaky and disgusting and is not what comes to mind when I read "discharge". | F | 22 | 5 days | 12/21/2005 | 3 | BV | Here is another entry for the toilet-papery discharge. I had a large amount the third day of use, flecked with some flesh-colored areas. | I really hope the FDA monitors this site and sees how many women are struggling with this medication. | F | 30 | 5 days | 12/5/2005 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginitis | I found this medication to work quickly in relieving my discomfort -- however I was totally disgusted by the huge white clumps of discharge I had a few days after I started taking the medication. I just finished my treatment a couple days ago and I'm still having the nasty discharge along with some itching. I was really getting freaked out until I stumbled on this website. I'm glad to know I'm in good company! I was afraid I had something terribly wrong with me and was planning on phoning my gyno the very next day! | I agree that the manufacturer needs to include all side-effects in the instructions. I almost passed out when I saw that strange discharge -- never experienced anything like that before. Was beginning to wonder if I was human! I was so freaked out that I read the instructions throughly several times and found nothing on the thick, clumpy discharge. It does list discharge as a possible side effect, but there is no description of it. Most people would only assume it would be a normal discharge not some freak-show type thing! I hope this goes away soon because it is embarassing. There's no way I'm having sex until it's gone! I think I'll ask my gyno for alternative treatments next time! | F | 25 | 5 days | 11/17/2005 | 3 | Bv | Clumpy White Discharge I Asume Its The Gel Coming Out. A Slight Itch For A Few Seconds. | Im So Glad I found This Site, I Was Scared To Take The Medicine. | F | 17 | 5 days .075% 1X day | 3/16/2012 | 3 | I have BV | Chunky White discharge. After I applied it I watched the clumpy material come out first(30 Seconds), then the gel mixed with the discharge later(2 Minutes). Also my lower abdomen has alot of movement. If you had an idea what it is email me! | F | 20 | 5 days 0.75 1X day | 2/23/2012 | 3 | BV | None; No pain, no nausea, no cramping, no fainting, etc! | I knew that I'd have some kind of discharge because the Dr and the pamplet said to wear a sanitary napkin. This was my first "fight" BV/Yeast Infections. The first time I was given the yeast pill and 7days of the metro-pill. It barely worked so I was given the yeast pill again and the metrogel so it'll be interesting to see if it will work b/c, like others, I have a monogamous sex-life! I was very happy to see that the odor was immediately gone after one day! I just really hope it stays gone and I'm not really confident bc it seems like most people have had reoccuring infections! Before this, I used douches and vaginal smell good washes which I won't be using anymore. However, it's good that I see that others still feel some sort of itching while still on the medication. But I hope it will stop and I hope the discharge won't keep coming after 2-3 days off of it. | F | 28 | 5 days .75 1X day | 3/5/2012 | 3 | BV | Pink and white fluffy stuff coming out of my vagina.. so gross is coming out and ruining all my underwear!!!!!I hate it the only reason I'm taking this is because I'm breastfeeding...Will never take it ever again. | F | 19 | 5 days 2X day | 2/19/2012 | 3 | vaginal irritation&urinary frequenc | my heart would race within a half hour after inserting the medicine, but this eventually went away. some abdominal pain, not too bad. CHUNKY WHITE INSANE GLOBS OF DISCHARGE | This site helped me a lot when I was freaking out about the white discharge. I wanted to tell everyone DO NOT ASSUME IT IS YEAST. I called my doctor and they said this discharge is normal and it should clear up within 2-4 days after stopping the medicine. I had gigantic globs coming out of me, especially when I pooped or exercised. This discharge disappeared within 2 days after my 5 day treatment, and I'm glad I didn't do a yeast infection treatment, which could've further messed things up if it was unecessary. This medicine helped my problem, I think, though it was mentally challenging to deal with the insanity of the discharge. | F | 26 | 5 days 1 applicat 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 3 | BV | Day one on the Metrogel...bit of stomach discomfort...burning, other than that nothing. | Curious if anyone out there has consumed alcohol while taking this? I have a party to go to and want to be able to imbibe, but am a bit scared off by the drug warnings and interactions. I will say though, that I found several sites that said there was no proof that there was any reaction from alcohol. Thoughts or experiences? | F | 48 | 5 days 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 3 | Because my doctor told me to | During treatment, white clumpy discharge with blood mixed in it on underwear; after treatment white clumpy discharge that stays lodged inside of me. | I used the gel for 5 days. I have been completed with the treatment for almost a week but I still have the white clumpy discharge, but it doesn't come out. It seems stuck inside of me. I am not sure why my doctor told me to use this medicine so I can't say if it helped my symptoms because I didn't have any. But I wish this discharge would stop. My husband was grossed out by sex because stuff was coming out on him. When does this go away? | F | 31 | 5 days | 1/27/2010 | 3 | Bacterial infection | White clumpy discharge. | I like other women am enduring the tissue paper like discharge. I finished my 5 day Metro Gel regimine and took a strong Probiotic with it to help prevent yeast. Now this! Not interested in going back to the doctor. | F | 34 | 5 days | 1/31/2010 | 3 | BV | Nausea, lightheadedness, cramps, strange metallic/mediciney taste in my mouth, headache, fatigue, diarhea. Icky slimy red-brown goo discharge, but I haven't had the white discharge like others experienced (that sounds like a yeast infection). | I had only the mildest of symptoms and was at my Gyn for my annual check up and mentioned it. She looked at a smear under the microscope and said it was BV and game me the choice of the gel or pill. I chose the gel. I feel horrible. I'm glad I found this site because I thought the red-brown goo was an early onset of my period mixing with the medication. (Interesting that residual medication turns that color.) I can't wait to be finished this and just hope I don't get a rebound yeast infection. I can't believe there isn't something else available that would work on this problem and not have these side effects -we're not exactly talking about a rare condition here. | F | 47 | 5 days | 1/26/2010 |
