| 4 | BV | How long does the wet toilet paper discharge last after finishing the Metro-gel?? | F | 23 | 4 days | 3/20/2009 | 4 | BV | I was shocked to discover a lumpy, white/red, cottage cheese looking substance that felt like wet toilet paper coming out of me. It is very disgusting. The medicine is working but this is nasty. | On the 3M website it gives no indication of the side effects of the medicine. It should state what to expect so a person does not think that they are crazy or there is something worse happening to them. | F | 35 | 4 days | 3/16/2005 | 4 | Abnormal Pap Smear | The white clumpy discharge, but I put 2 and 2 together. I knew it was the medicine. Other than that, no side effects | I didnt have a problem with it, worked for me | F | 18 | 4 days | 4/3/2007 | 4 | BV | This is the fourth day i've been taking metro gel. My doctor directed me to only take it once a day though until gone, at bedtime. The smell has reduced although occasionally i still sense the fishiness. After day two i got the white toilet paper slimey discharge everyone else has encountered and cannot stand it. I have decided to do the twice a day dosing because the time requirement would probablly be near 10 days to finish this tube. There is rarely itching now, occasionally a very very mild burn when i go pee, and very rare cramping. I really hope this goes away soon. Does anyone know how long the white clumpy stuff will come out after the medication is gone? also, the discharge is just a side effect correct? i'm not getting a yeast infection? | F | 18 | 4 days | 7/22/2007 | 4 | BV | I got the fright of my life this morning, thought i was having a miscarriage! I remember last week i saw a white paper-like tissue/skin discharge, but didn't think much of it. This morning however, realised my underwear was wet, and when i went to the toilet these HUGE clumps literally fell out of my vagina! I examined it and it looked like clumpy white flesh, with blood in between. Nowhere in the side-effects did it mention anything like this so i thought my vagina and uterus are falling out!! :-) Decided to read on the internet - Thank God this website made me realise that other women have also experienced this side-effect. I have one more dosage to use, otherwise i feel a lot better. | PLEASE add this as a side-effect. | F | 34 | 4 days | 6/18/2007 | 4 | BV | clear/"slimey" discharge, which is normal, just the medicine coming back out... only worries were flecks of brown which i read in others comments, i assume a lil blood? and today is day 4 and the applicator had bright red blood on it after i gave myself the medicine. i'm not due for a period til 1 1/2 weeks... so i dont know what the blood is about. feel tired, a bit nauseous. YOU SHOULD NOT DRINK on this med... it says so CLEARLY on the package. also NO SEX until after the course is finished. it also is printed on the package. | i've used this before and it works, but the bleeding is a new side affect. | F | 29 | 4 days | 4/10/2007 | 4 | I had Candida and I was Very Itchy | I had a white clumpy discharge after use, apart from that I did not have any other Problem, I have one more day to go | F | 33 | 4 days 1X day | 3/8/2023 | 3 | BV | Slight cramps brown shredded ground beef looking discharge. It scares me I'm at the doctor now. | F | 27 | 4 days 0.75% 2X day | 1/29/2023 | 3 | BV | I'm using metronidazole vaginal gel And I have withe discharge and red discharge I was so scared and searching online to see if its normal or not , now I feel better after I saw so many people have a same side effect | F | 32 | 4 days 0.75 | 1/16/2014 | 3 | bv | When i srarted takiking metrogel it helped but i have been feeling dryness and clumps of brown and red and it started with the white creamy thick discharge and it never burned or stunk but the dryness is driving me crazy. | F | 29 | 4 days idk | 7/3/2014 | 3 | Bv | Not sleeping, head aches, acne, burning when I have to pee, burning at night, peeing a lot. | I hope it works I just wanna enjoy sex again. I keep bv it seems like. This is easier for me to remember than pills. No discharge yet. | F | 26 | 4 days 30 | 11/16/2015 | 3 | BV | Fourth day of taking gel. Was about to administer my last dose but when I undressed I see my underwater is covered in some thick purple/brown discharge. I've been feeling crampy today and my back has been hurting it seems since my second dose. Not sure if the back pain is related but this bizarre discharge makes me not want to take the last dose. That awful "something died inside me" smell which was the original problem is gone though so that is a plus.. | I don't like doing these applicators at all, but I remember nearly choking on how bad the pills were once before | F | 33 | 4 days 70G | 7/21/2015 | 3 | BV | I, too am a pharmacist and did not expect the clumpy white discharge as a side effect but i guess it makes sense to develop a yeast infection if you're trying to get rid of a bacterial one. I'm on my 4th day -- I have burning and that icky white discharge! The nurse told me to treat the yeast infection after I finish my 5 day course of Metrogel. Ugh. | F | 32 | 4 days | 8/23/2007 | 3 | BV | Huge globs of thick white discharge, just like the white toilet paper description of others. For days afterward, small reddish yellow clumps, dryness and itching. I thought I was going crazy till I found this board. | Someone should put this in the official paperwork! It works well enough but I wasn't prepared for the side effects. | F | 43 | 4 days | 5/11/2005 | 3 | BV | I'm on the second day and I have the strange papery discharge, with a few flecks of brown. Ick. I'm hoping this doesn't mean yeast infection, as I've noticed other people have said. I'm also hoping this will take care of the problem and not lead to any others. Also, my gynecologist didn't mention anything about not having sexual intercourse while using this treatment, but I would assume that would be a no-no? (And with the nasty discharge, I wouldn't want to subject my boyfriend to that.) | F | 20 | 4 days | 2/8/2007 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | I believe this medicine caused my period to come two days late. Then when it did come it was like I was having a miscarriage. There was an excessive amount of tissue-like greyish white substance that scared me so bad I went to the emergency room. It was like my insides were falling out. Now I am currently bleeding so heavily that my normal daily activities are limited. At the emergency room I tested negative for pregancy so they told me this is normal. I know my body and I have never seen anything like this ever. | F | 21 | 4 days | 8/27/2005 | 3 | BV | Thank god for this web site!!! I took 4 days of treatment (the doc gave me samples) 4 days ago and last night in the bathroom did the finger test and tbs sized thick dry discharge came out!!! thought my vagina was turning inside out. now i havefilled the script and im afraid to use it I burn and itch and my stomach hurts. Doc told me to due 3 more days help | I really don't know about this med. Should I call the doc back and try an oral? Can I take back my unopened box of metro-hel and get my 97.00 dollars back? please email me if you have any ansewers | F | 29 | 4 days | 12/15/2006 | 3 | Vaginitis | The same toilet-paper like stuff with all the same adjectives that everyone else described. With a little red stuff. Horrible. This web site saved the doctor (and me) a phone call. I liked the doctor who prescribed it. Funny she was so detailed with me but NO MENTION that it would look like my uterus was falling out. | F | 35 | 4 days | 7/6/2006 | 3 | BV | Mild nausea initially and then the white discharge everyone here has mentioned. | This is my very first BV and use of Metrogel. I was diagnosed with BV after having two bouts of bleeding after sex with my husband. My cervix was so inflammed that the swab to take a culture caused me to bleed. Anyway, I have taken 4 of the 5 nightly treatments. I have not had any cramps to speak of or other side effects...just the extremely gross stringy/bloody/clumpy discharge with specks of brown. I had the Mirena IUD placed in March of this year but my GYN said it was not the source of infection - - so, is my husband of 8+ years infected?? Does he need to get checked? When can I have sex again without worries of discharge, odors, etc. The odor is gone (just a sweaty smell now with the pad)....can anyone tell me when this will be over??? | F | 33 | 4 days | 12/22/2008 | 3 | BV | I'm currently taking it, it's been 4 days and it has been painful. I wake up every night with a full bladder and then get a burning sensation and lots of cramps. Also, I've had a sticky discharge and after cleansing myself I have like a cottage cheese type of discharge. | F | 26 | 4 days | 11/7/2008 |
