| 1 | Bv - only discharge no itch. | On day 1 I had white discharge with small brownish spots, this turned into light bleeding. I had just finish my period so not period blood. Lower stomach cramps but all still seemed well. On day 2 more bleeding with dizzyness, fatigue, sore throat, migraine with fog. Bloating was so sore I couldn't stand up for long and couldn't fit my clothes. Vagina and outside area was dry and tender to touch. When I was due to take the 3rd dose I was feeling so ill I couldn't continue so stopped. I told the doctor the next day who sent me for a swab test but he didn't believe my symptoms. Said it was a bit excessive. | Once I stopped taking it all my symptoms clear up within 24hrs except a little spotting. The cramps and Vaginal tenderness I still have 4 days later. Waiting results to see if I now have thrush aswell. Will not use this medicine again. There must be a better way to deal with this. Never had it before. | F | 42 | 5 days 1X day | 4/29/2021 | 1 | Bv | Day for I start cramping , and noticed when I inserted my 4 dose it had blood on it when I pulled it back out then had cramping then when I used it a bunch of tissue looking stuff came out brown blood like I thought it was a baby lol I skipped day 5 I took a flagyl pill for day 5 still bleeding heavy hopefully it stop soon I feel better seeing everybody have the same symptoms i panicked at first | F | 30 | 5 days 2 1X day | 10/26/2023 | 1 | BV: Bacterial Vaginosis | Vaginal Bleeding | On the 3rd night I noticed flakes of what looked like blood and tissue maybe and then by the next day I started having clots (some were pretty big) and a lot of bleeding after taking the vaginal Metro-gel (short for full name). I was very concerned because it was way more bleeding than I get with my menstrual cycle which I had about a week and a half before I started this medicine so the bleeding shouldn't have been my period. I wasn't having any major pains or issues so I assumed it was some strange reaction to the medication and tried to not get worked up about it, plus it was the weekend and I couldn't get a hold of my doctor. As soon as I stopped the medication the bleeding would stop but started once I tried it again so I stopped taking it. I was already on my 5th day (last day) but my doctor still sent in the pill version for me just in case and I guess wanted me to take that even though my 5 days was up. At the time I still don't know why I bleed so much, other than the medication doing something. The doctor said maybe Fibroids, I've never known that I've had those but I guess that could be why along with some other reasons. Unfortunately I can't say right noe for sure why I started bleeding though, other than it being because of that medication. I don't notice the odor as much that was there before (whi | F | 40 | 5 days 1X day | 12/21/2023 | 1 | BV | Back pain,abdominal pain. Burning sensation/tingling in legs and feet.Headache.Brain fog.Nausea..felt terrible all the way around! | After a 7 day oral treatment with metrodinazole it did not clear the BV and I had all these side effects. Dr. Prescribed 5 day metro vaginally. Got a yeast infection.. Now 5 days after finishing last dose of metro gel I am having the burning sensation in my legs still. Don't understand why Dr prescribed the gel after I had bad side effects from the tablet. After all the money spent I am still unclear if the BV is gone or if the symptoms are side effects of this awful medicine. I will not use that awful stuff again. | F | 40 | 5 days | 1/30/2018 | 1 | Uti | Serious lower abdominal cramp very discomforted, diarhoea, slight burning sensation after complete dose, pain and soreness during sex after dosage | I really hate this drug the side effects are worse than the good it does | F | 27 | 5 days Vaginal ge | 3/23/2018 | 1 | Bv infection | Pain sickness felt like I had the flue dizzy called doc said that wasn't the meds fault got worse did another dose after vomiting and sick and now feel worse what should I do if my own doc won't listen ? | F | 38 | 5 days Insertion | 5/8/2017 | 1 | bv | dizziness, tingling, discharge | discharge was white then turned green the. brown now have bright red wondering if its my period though. freaked me out. letting my dr know for sure | F | 36 | 5 days | 7/25/2019 | 1 | Yeast infection | I used the gel one night and when I woke up to pee I noticed blood after wiping and a bit on my panty. I thought I might have hurt myself when I applied the applicator but the next day it got worse , it was like I was on my period but with blood clots and blood gel like stuff. I had bad cramps in the morning and it’s embarrassing because when I’m with my boyfriend I always have to excuse myself for the bathroom because of the stomach pains. Is this normal? I’m freaking out. And it’s only my 1st dose and the side effects or whatever are hitting me badly. | I don’t like this gel | F | 5 days 5g | 8/12/2019 | 1 | Bv | Flu like symptoms | Could not function sick in bed chills sweats and no appetite as well as back pain and extreme fatigue wiped of energy dizzy | 36 | 5 days | 8/25/2019 | 1 | Suspected bacterial infection | Burning inside and out Itching inside and out Burning rectum Painful cramps Sensitive vulva | Please any ladies that read this don't use this medication I am still having bad affects 3 weeks after finishing my dose....and still having the white tissue paper discharge can you believe it?? I can't have sex which is putting severe strain on my relationship...I have been hospitalised I am losing hope I pray that these symptoms start to improve soon I literally can't take anymore....don't touch with a barge poll ladies!!! | F | 30 | 5 days 0.75 | 12/3/2018 | 1 | Was diagnosed with bv | Burning , redness in the vulvua area won't go away. I stopped using it 7 days. After 5 days of treatment I had numbness in my had lasted for 2 days. Dizziness burning in my feet won't go.my Gyn say I have no yeast infection. I just got treated from uti. I have some symptoms in the urethera like I had with uti. No burning in peeing. But burning n redness won't go. Want to know how long the burning will last???? GYN checked my urine and he said it's clear. | This medication is terrible. Never recommend to anyone. | F | 40 | 5 days 0.75 | 9/5/2016 | 1 | BV | I started bleeding on day 1 of using the gel😰, now on day two and its worsening. I dont know whether to stop or to continue 🙃 | F | 5 days | 11/21/2019 | 1 | BV | Had an STD test---positive for BV-started Metrogel 5day dosage! Days 1-3 cramping-not severe-no discharge; SMELL DID GO AWAY AFTER DAY 2! Day 4 cramping-not severe and gel discharge--vagina is very dry and sore; Day 5 cramping-not severe--vagina is nearly untouchable from clitoris down----even hurt to blot dry!!! Lots of clumpy, white discharge but IM GLAD TO BE DONE!!! Also VERY ITCHY!!! TOOK DIFLUCAN ONE DOSE and put anti itch cream on my lady parts! The aftermath: Days 6-8 lots of white mixed with specks of red and brownish, maroon clumpy discharge. Vagina was still sore to touch and itched terribly until Day 8 Currently on Day 9-no sex, still having clumpy brown discharge--attempting to do the shower head thing and still applying the anti itch cream... | Hopefully the discharge will stop SOON and I NEVER GET BV AGAIN. If so, I WILL TRY the pill. This is messy and dries your vagina terribly!! | F | 32 | 5 days 30MG | 2/20/2020 | 1 | Vagina infection | Why taking the gel symptoms for better after 5th day clumpy white discharge lower pelvic pain cramping horrible didn’t like it at all | Don’t like the medicine feeling horrible after day 6th | F | 33 | 5 days | 2/28/2020 | 5 | BV during pregnancy | I had the cottage cheese/wet toilet paper stuff after 2 days of metrogel too!! I searched and searched for side effects of metrogel and found nothing. Then I thought its an antibiotic so it must be causing a yeast infection? So I was soooo relieved when I see that others have it too. | The cheesy stuff has absolutely no smell and the foul smell from the BV went away after the second day so overall I give it a 5. I am pregnant so my doctor instructed me to only take for 3-4 days. | F | 26 | 4 days | 12/23/2006 | 5 | Discharge | After the second day of starting Metrogel I began having the clumpy toilet paper discharge. I also noticed that I became light headed on two occasions which I don't know for sure can be from the medication. However, since MG is an antibiotic which can also cause yeast infections, it is safe to say that this is why we're getting the clumps, But Geez why didn't our doctors warn us about this seeing that it is a VERY common PROBLEM!!!!! | THEY SHOULD REALLY INCLUDE THIS VERY ANNOYING SIDE EFFECT ON THE PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS MEDICATION. | F | 31 | 4 days | 5/8/2009 | 5 | BV | WELL LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE I HAVE WHITE DISCHARGE LIKE A YEAST INFEACTION BUT I'M ITCH FREE AND CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH.... | F | 23 | 4 days 2X day | 3/6/2010 | 5 | Yes | White, thick, clumped up discharge after I started using the gel | F | 22 | 4 days | 11/21/2011 | 5 | BV | discharge with white and brownish clumps, nausea, cramping | F | 17 | 4 days 1/day | 2/23/2012 | 5 | bv | Was on a 5day dose. Odor was gone after the first day. There is a white clumpy discharge that popped up on day 3, just 2days post treatment now. Thought I had a yi but clearly others have had same experience. I'll keep an eye on it as I did read that they are possible side effects. Really glad I found this site. And my Dr said I could drink during the treatment, which I don't think interfered at all | F | 28 | 4 days 30 | 11/29/2011 |
