| 1 | BV | I think the side effects are wores than the infection. Very little discomfort when diagnosed. Since finishing my 5 day prescription. White discharge, hives, itching all over, burning during urination, irritation during sex. It has been about 2 weeks since the medication. When do the side effects stop??? I am about to OD on benedryl. Hot baths do offer so comfort. | F | 31 | 5 days | 1/31/2009 | 1 | bacterial vaginal infection | The first day or two headaches, then small white clumps coming out of the vagina. By day 5 had a lot of nausea and big white clumps. Stopped taking after 5 days, but clumps are still coming out and severe burning and irritation which makes me feel like I have to urinate all the time, but my urine is clean - was tested and no infection or white blood cells. The irritation is what is causing it. The doctor removed some of the clumps. Said this is common with metrogel and the medication does that. Plus I have a sensitivity which caused the redness and irritation. | I would not use it again. | F | 54 | 5 days | 12/31/2008 | 1 | BV | I am having the same "wet toilet paper" discharge that many others are experiencing. I had my last dose 5 nights ago and even four full days after I had stopped taking it, there were gigantic, rubbery, white chunks coming out of my vagina. In addition, I experienced vaginal itching, burning and dryness. I still haven't had sex and am concerned it will hurt. I am now on day five after stopping treatment and things still don't feel quite right down there, although I haven't seen any huge white clumps today and the burning, itching and dryness seem to be getting better. I sure hopes this means I am on my way to recovery! I am FURIOUS that neither my doctor, the pharmacist nor the information on the drug pamphlet said anything about this freaky, science fiction like discharge. I will not have sex with my boyfriend until I am 100% confident that the disgusting discharge is gone. How can so many women have this side effect, but nobody who prescribes the medication tells the | F | 37 | 5 days | 6/12/2008 | 1 | yes | none | F | 18 | 5 days | 12/18/2008 | 1 | BV | I am so thankful I found this site. I am also experiencing the same white toilet paper-like discharge and had no idea if it was normal or what to make of it. Now I see it is a common side effect. I really wish I had read this board BEFORE I took the medication, as the burning I originally had has increased significantly since I finished taking the medication 2 days ago and the discharge only seems to be getting worse. Sex is also very painful, due to dryness and irritation. I never had any odor to begin with, so I dont know if the infection is actually gone. I have scheduled a follow-up appt. with my doctor and will post again in a few days to update my progress. | Look for an alternative to this medication, as the cons out-weigh the pros. Had I known about the severity of the side-effects, I would have not taken this medication at all. | F | 32 | 5 days | 7/10/2005 | 1 | Was prescribed for BV. | My original symptoms were soreness w/o discharge or odor. I was prescribed metrogel. This is the third time I have taken it and this time was as bad as ever. The last two times I stopped thinking that I had the worst yeast infection ever. Immediately after treatment I get extreme itching, redness, and irritation, plus the lovely toilet paper clumpys that are beyond digusting. I have one more dose and I don't want to do it. I am so uncomfortable and I hate the clumpy's. It is just not right. Last time, once I made it through the five days, I was much better after two days off of metro-gel but the treatment process was horrible. | You've got to wonder about a medication that has so many side effects that are not included in the product instructions. Makes me wonder how well tested this drug is. | F | 31 | 5 days | 12/11/2006 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | diarrhea, clumpy white discharge for 5 days after discontinuing treatment (it almost seems to seal the vaginal area shut), severe abdominal pain a full 3 days after use (after being examined by the doctor--seemed to reactivate the medicine; caused inflammation of entire area including ovaries and return of symptoms!) | i would never use this again. womean should know that metronidazole is **potentially**: tetragenic (harms rodent babies in utero), carcinogenic (caused cancer in rats), and mutagenic (interfered with fertility in animal laboratory experiments). no proof in human studies..but..who wants to be a guinea pig? | F | 35 | 5 days | 7/21/2006 | 1 | No symptoms Just neg pap | I took Metro Gel for the five days then I had extreme itching and burning I felt raw!! I also had the clumpy discharge throughout the five days GROSS! I called in the doctor and he said that this med could cause a yeast infection well isn't that nice. THIS CRAP SUCKS! | F | 27 | 5 days | 4/4/2007 | 1 | BV | I went to the doc bc I had tons of pain during sex-- She gave me metrogel ... on my 2nd night I was soooo sick--- couldnt get out of bed- I ended up sleeping next to the toilet bc I thought I would throw up all night. I am done with the meds now- on day 2... and just had sex-- major bleeding! MAJOR pain... like crazy pain! I am sooooo mad. | My doc also said I would get a yeast infection- and gave me a 1 day pill... I am serious. Sex hurts worse than anything I have ever felt!!!!!!!!! beware~ | F | 21 | 5 days | 7/9/2006 | 1 | Abnormal Pap | Well now that I've read the other entries, I too had the clumpy dischard, however mine looked more like flesh instead of wet toilet paper. I didn't have any clues prior to my pap that anything was wrong; however I will say I began to bleed the day after I began administering the medication and I'm still bleeding 8 days later extremely heavy and I'm worried. If the bleeding doesn't stop within the next two days I'm going to the hospital, screw the doctors office, I need someone with machines in the office who can run a few more tests. | I'm not sure if this medicine worked or not. My doctor only said that I had to take it with no true explination as to why. I hope the bleeding is not a result of the medication but I'll soon find out. Good luck to every one else out there. | F | 23 | 5 days | 6/3/2005 | 1 | abnormal pap | I was asymptomatic prior to using this drug...I am exceedingly pissed off that the | I hope my doc will hesitate before prescribing this medication to someone else. | F | 42 | 5 days | 4/4/2005 | 1 | BV | The gel goes in clear and comes out looking like Bama Red Plum Jam! What is that about? | The week following the five day treatment, I spotted all week. The week after that I have had a seven day period that appears to never end. I flooded three times to day! With what? I think I'm about out of blood! I didn't know I had a BV. No symptoms. Same heterosexual relationship for two years. Oh, I think this stuff is extremely hormonal! Breasts are sore like when I first found out I was pregnant (that was years ago)...and I told somebody off today! yikes... | F | 44 | 5 days | 3/6/2007 | 1 | bacteria infection | burning pain in the vulva area that lasted 3 weeks. | F | 35 | 5 days | 12/1/2004 | 1 | bacteria vaginosis infection | my discharges are getting worse! They are turing into a cottage cheese like substance with spectacles of brown and red in it. Is this suppose to be normal? | F | 19 | 5 days | 6/30/2004 | 1 | Tric | I was prescribed the peel the first day I was OK they number two are so light spotting I'm on day five and now I'm bleeding like a monthly cycle I'm really scared | F | 38 | 5 days 1X day | 2/18/2021 | 1 | Bacterial infection while pregnant | Gave me a white clumpy discharge and also spotting with it while in early pregnancy do not like it will not use it again | F | 30 | 5 days 1X day | 2/24/2021 | 1 | Trich | Weird tissue like clumps of discharge head head aches this stuff is ridiculous and im mad they prescribed it to me pregnant. | Be watchfull if your using this gell | F | 20 | 5 days 0.75% 1X day | 1/15/2021 | 1 | Bv | White clumpy discharge. Tuned pink then full on bleeding. Severe stomach cramps.

After period still had bv took 1 day dose and its been almost 2 weeks its still coming out pink and clumpy when wipe vagina really dry and itchy. I cant take the pill it makes my head hurt really bad and gives a really stiff neck that last for months. I dont get it why if I use this like im told and even go through all these side effects and i still have bv | F | 31 | 5 days 1X day | 1/22/2023 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | DONT USE THIS IF PREGNANT. It creates a white, yeast infection like discharge, with tiny dark brown specks. It is blood tissue. Scary if you're pregnant because it might look like a miscarriage. Wait until early 2nd trimester if you want to use it. | F | 21 | 5 days 0.75 1X day | 1/24/2023 | 1 | Bv | This caused bloody discharge after completing it. I'm not anywhere near getting my period. But I have more discharge now and it has blood in it for a couple days. | F | 27 | 5 days 30mg 1X day | 5/4/2022 |
