| 3 | BV as diagnosed by a Pap | Thank goodness I found this page. I also had excess discharge with very thick white chunks and thought the worst. The smell went away immediately and I experienced a little tingling on the first day. By day 5 a lot of burning sensation, similar to having a UTI. :/ Curious as to how long it will take to clear completely... | F | 27 | 5 days 7 days 1X day | 3/17/2011 | 3 | bv | Thick, white gel-like discharge. | Ive had constant yeast infections for the past year and now doctor just told me I have BV. Took oral medication first, but it didn't clear up the infection. Now I'm on 3rd day of the metrogel and im still crazy itchy and have that white discharge. I started to freak out that it was another yeast infection but now I feel ok knowing so many of you have also had the same symptom...anyone know what causes it? | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 10/8/2010 | 3 | vaginal infection | white clumpy discharge, pain when it came time to insert the 3rd and 4th applications | I originally had a UTI and the antibiotic I was given for that gave me a vaginal infection. I experienced clear thin discharge with an odor and after an examination and looking at everything under a microscope, the doctor prescribed this. After the first couple of nights, it initially helped with the burning/itching and the clear discharge. However on the third night I had a really difficult time even inserting the applicator and I noticed a clumpy white goo. I had been to a general practitioner before and had my yearly exam coming up with my gyno the day after I had finished my treatment with this medicine, and after telling her everything and the examination, she said I had a yeast infection and prescribed diflucan. | F | 22 | 5 days 30 1X day | 1/3/2011 | 3 | chronic bv | Caused White thick clumpy discharge. Towards the 5th day had sum cramps. When i wiped the discharge it smelled like perfume? maybe its the gel i dont know but iam waiting til the discharge goes away to see if it works or not | F | 21 | 5 days 1 a day | 4/6/2013 | 3 | bv | None other than the white clumps... however i have been finished with the product for about 3-4 weeks, and lately have had dark brown,looks llike dried blood, discharge and tonight i started bleeding, i am on the pill and get my period 4 times a year, and am not due to get mine for about another month or so... so im wondering if this is normal or should i consult my dr. | F | 27 | 5 days | 11/21/2013 | 3 | BV | The 5th day, i put in a bit more than usual (I just wanted to make sure it worked) and became extremley nauseated. Its been about 4 days since I've finished the metro gel and this clumpy white crap is STILL coming out of me. It DOES look like balled up tissue, the consistency is thick and gross, it's white and there is no odor, no itching, no burning. I am terrified to be intimate with anyone because i don't want anyone to think i have "something". How long will this continue. My annual exam is in two weeks, so we'll see. UGH! | Next time I will gladly just take the pills! | F | 28 | 5 days | 1/9/2010 | 3 | BV | I too am having the white clumpy discharge, but it did not start until 2 days after I finished the medication. | I did go and buy Monostat 1 day pill because I thought I was getting a yeast infection. I wish I had read this site first. Do any of you know how long the discharge lasts? One woman said it went away after 5 days. Can anyone else tell me their experience? How long did it take for the excessive white/clumpy discharge to go away for you? | F | 34 | 5 days | 11/27/2009 | 3 | BV | Had a little abdominal cramping and felt a little light headedwith a yeast infection. | I think metrogel is better than the pills the pills are awful I was vomiting ever time I took it and after the I was done taking the medication went back to the doctor and still had BV. Metrogel works for me people have to understand that medications effect different people in different ways if you have not taken a medication before you should ask your doctor and read the insert before taking it I did. I aslo experienced a yeast infection which was horrible but my doctor told me that metrogel may tamper with the normal flora in my vagina and a yeast infection may occur. I received medication for the yeast infection and was fine. My doctor also suggested that I take the one day pill for the yeast infection soon as I start the medication for BV which works for me | F | 34 | 5 days | 12/6/2009 | 3 | The Dr. told me i need it just in c | I hate this gel... I have a white discharge its like white paste, kinda like a yeast infection, but with no smell. I dont think its a yeast infection cuz it does not smell or burn. It does itch but it not bad, I can deal with it. I got female wipes like the anti-itch and it cleans up the white discharge better than TP, and clears up the itch. | The Dr. didn't really explain to me why I needed it but just that I seem to have an increase it discharge and a small odor but thats it. She never told me what to do or expect what just read the direction. I will never go back to her. Reading this site makes me feel a lot better about the white discharge and that its normal and hopefully go away!!! | F | 20 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 3 | BV | I had the huge clumpy discharge that a lot of you seemed to be having. I had it on day 3 and day 5. Both times however I had a bowel movement with it. Asked nurse the first time...she didn't seem too worried (was double checking w/ doctor but still hasn't gotten back to me)...Haven't mentioned the 2nd time to nurse. Also had a little cramping on both days of discharge...felt a tiny bit itchy but that's normal for me I think. | It's not bad other than the discharge...freaked me out a little bit. Hope it's no big deal and the infection is cleared up, but I'll have to see over a couple of days... | F | 19 | 5 days | 10/25/2009 | 3 | BV | some nausea, cramping, lower back pain and white curd-like discharge almost immediately after taking it. | I finished the medicine 3 days ago and I still have the discharge and cramping. I have been freaking out until today when I found this site. The discharge has no odor and theres no itching or anything. I called a pharmacist and was told it's prob a yeast infection, but now that I've read this site I see that it's prob just side effects that I WISH someone had told me about. Thank God for this site. I feel much better, though I'm still wondering when the cramps and discharge will be gone. | F | 40 | 5 days | 5/30/2009 | 3 | BV | Some vaginal burning, white cheesy discharge, green/brown discharge on the last day and the day after treatment completion (5 day treatment), anal itching and subsequent hemorrhoid (went away after one day of topical treatment), abdominal pain and discomfort, diarrhea and gas. | I HATE taking this medication... but I can't take the pill form because it is neurotoxic (caused nerve pain and tingling) and the gel is one of the only other medications that works. I used it for the 5 days, my symptoms went away after 2 days of treatment. Three weeks after treatment, I began having mild symptoms again (fishy smell upon showering with soap) so I began using it again last night. This morning my vagina was really burning, and I'm having abdominal discomfort and gas. Not sure if I should continue treatment. | F | 32 | 5 days | 5/1/2009 | 3 | I am relieved to see this information. This is my 2nd time taking the Metrogel in the past year and a half. I finished the treatment about 3 days ago, still having the brown discharge and today there were huge clumps of what I thought was yeast. no itching or burning. slight headaches off and on. i also noticed that when i actually inserted the gel, when i pulled out the applicator there were cottage cheese like specks on it. but nothing as clumpy and gross as these yeast-like clumps. I hope this goes away soon! | F | 32 | 5 days | 6/20/2009 | 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 | I developed a bacterial infection about 2 years ago after I had had an Merina IUD put in. At my 3 month check up for the IUD my gyno took a culture and caught the infection and was told me that it was possibly caused by the IUD and wrote me a script for the Metrogel-vaginal. All I can say about this medication is it was a freakin nightmare! The "brown tissue substance" that was comming out of my pooter was massive and I actually thought my insides were comming out! After I was finished with the meds it went away. Not only did I have the weird discharge but I also felt like my pooter was on fire. I wish these specific side affects were told to me so I knew what to expect. If I ever get another vaginal infection I would choose not to use the Metrogel. | F | 32 | 5 days | 3/11/2008 | 3 | Change in Discharge,and light odor. | I was given the 5 day treatment,where you use it every night before bed.Last night was my second night of using this,and Ive experienced Those big white clumps,But im glad to see that im not alone in that.Other than that,It seems to be working. | Seems to work.No Bad Side Affects. | F | 15 | 5 days | 1/25/2008 | 3 | BV | Yeserday I completed my 5-day stint on Metrogel; so I'm not 100% if it's working yet. I haven't experienced any odd discharge, only the gel making it's way back out when I wake up in the morning. Although, I've been experiencng extreme inflammation, burnng and itching. I do recall having 2 moderate headaches in the past 5 days, but I wasn't sure if they were associated with the medication. Maybe they were, since I usually never get headaches. | My doctor didn't mention many of the side effects you all are experiencing, but when I told him that I noticed that I get this inflamed, burning sensation about a week before each cycle he recommended that I change birth conrol pills. Some pills can cause a spike in the acidity/bacteria in the vagina that causes BV. So I'm switching to another one-hopefully that'll help! | F | 25 | 5 days | 1/20/2009 | 3 | BV | menstrual like cramping and pinkish discharge only after running. A lot of clumpy discharge. The discharge has increased since I have stopped taking metrogel. I finished my last dose on Sunday PM. Took Diflucan on Monday...Today is Wednesday and I have seen more discharge than ever...I am hoping this is the end. I was concerned about it until I came across this site. | I also experience vagianal dryness and stomach aches. It wasn't too bad. The most annoying thing is the discharge because I am not sure when it will be gone. I've been avoiding the bf. I do think that information about the discharge should be explained up front...I have had my share of BV and yeast infections and I have never had as much discharge as what I am seeing now. | F | 37 | 5 days | 1/7/2009 | 3 | bv | bleeding, cramping, headache, tiredness, anxiety, fuzzy head and bouts of intense and irrational behavior | fortunately, no white discharge but I did have bleeding - totally freaked me out because I've had a hysterectomy, so that didn't seem right. pretty equal measure of physical and emotional side effects. it does seem to clear up the bv though and I guess I'd use it again if I needed to. wish I'd read this during treatment. | F | 55 | 5 days | 11/25/2008 | 3 | BV | I had the same vaginal white/blooding discharge as most of you reported. Thank god for this post or I would have continued freaking out. It has been three days and I am still bleeding, almost like a light period. I keep wondering when it will go away. Or when I can have sex again. | F | 20 | 5 days | 2/12/2009 |
