| 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis during pregnanc | I am prone to side effects from medicaiton but this was just insane. I am 23 weeks pregnant and was prescribed this aweful medication for a bacterial infection I actually never had and within hours had constant painful contractions for two days and was laying in bed exhausted, contracting with a headache I thought was going to turn into a migraine(thankfully it didn't.) I couldn't eat because I felt so sick to my stomach and everything I did manage to choke down went straight through me. Then along came the white cottage chesse/wet toilet paper discharge which is just horrible especially when you're pregnant and already have weird discharge! | I truly did fear for my babies life while taking this medication and was very disturbed to find out that the doctor(and her nurse) had no idea that any of these side effects I experienced were typical of this medication, which they obviously are. Thankfully my baby is hearty and I seem to have suffered no ill effects from my terrible experience I want to warn any prengnant woman away from taking this medication and although the doctor will tell you that a bacterial infection "down there" can lead to pre-term labor, don't believe it unless you've already had a pre-term labor with an earlier baby. There is so little evidence to back up this pre-term labor theory it's almost amusing. But the doctors need something to panic us pregnant women about. So, please,if you are pregnant don't take this stuff. I don't want to ever read again that a woman miscarried because of this medication. Honestly, mother nature can take care of us a lot better given a little time. Also, try dr | F | 31 | 2 days | 5/31/2006 | 1 | BV | 1) Fatigue. I just had no energy. Cleaning my house for 90 minutes wiped me out! 2)Incredible stomach cramps began on day two. I was being very attentive to my diet, but no matter what healthy thing I put in my body, it caused moderate to severe cramping about 30 min later. The cramping was severe enough that I will not continue this medication. | I'd been managing my BV with | F | 43 | 2 days | 6/17/2005 | 1 | Infection | HORRIBLE!! Took only 2 doses and was in excrutiating pain. I was completely raw. | F | 2 days | 3/31/2005 | 1 | BV | Extreme abdominal cramps to the point that I was doubled over in pain. Waves of nausea followed by loose stool. Also had the cottage cheese discharge. | My gyno was familiar w/ these side effects when I called in, how come she never mentioned it to me before prescribing it?!? Why aren't any of those symptoms listed on the pharmacy packet?? This is a horrible | F | 34 | 2 days | 6/9/2005 | 1 | Vaginitis | I had terrible abdomen cramps all the time, some low grade fever and my heart raced. | I hadn't quite realized that the medicine was the problem until I read the patients' reviews here and I immediately stopped taking it. The cramps and the fever are gone, the palpitations not yet. | F | 34 | 2 days | 2/17/2009 | 1 | possible vaginal infection | cramping, diarrhea, headache, overall ill feeling, some burning and itching and dry mouth. | I mainly experienced cramping that continued at least 5 more days after I stopped talking it. It is one of the worst medications due to the many terrible side effects. I don't understand why doctors would still prescribe this. Patients be warned! | F | 49 | 2 days | 11/21/2007 | 1 | BV-Clue Cells | 2nd degree burns of the vagina, vulva, passed out from the pain(10). Long term effects-Mast cells cause high sensativity and burning(2), even after three and half years | Doctors are not always quick to say it was the drug, but I found one who told me what happened and what to do to help with pain after two months. Corn Starch Douche worked wonders on the pain. I would not ever use this drug again. Doctor had given me Flaygl not knowing it is the same and it caused bladder burning pain(10) and severe uti burning(10). The pain was so bad from the burning in the bladder all I could do was lay on the floor and beg God for help. After 3 and half years I still sleep with ice between my legs because of the discomfort of the burning(2). Sex is limited. The clue cells of course came back, now I use Aloe Vera, directly from the leaf, cooled in the refrigertor, for 7 nights, up in the vagina and it kills the clue cells and feels good when you feel burning. I hope this information is beneficial. I think womem should be made aware of the risk of being burnt, not just have burning from this drug. By the way, most doctors dismiss side effects as the problem | F | 45 | 2 days | 11/8/2007 | 1 | NONSPECIFIC VAGINITIS | BURNING INTERNALLY ON SECOND DAY OF USE. STOPPED IMMEDIATELY SINCE I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH EXTERNAL VAGINAL BURNING FOR TWO MONTHS. I AM POSTMENOPAUSAL (60 YRS OLD). HAD WHITE CLUMPY DISCHARGE AFTER TWO DAYS OF STOPPING METROGEL. ASKED OB/GYN NURSE IF THIS COULD CAUSE A YEAST INFECTION. ANSWER WAS DEFINITELY YES SO I ASKED FOR A SCRIPT FOR DIFLUCAN AND HAVE STARTED THE DIFLUCAN 3 DAYS AFTER STOPPING METROGEL. STILL HAVE VAGINAL BURNING. GOING TO SEE A SPECIALIST THIS WEEK. | WOULD AVOID USING IT AGAIN. WISHED I KNEW ABOUT THIS SITE SOONER. | F | 60 | 2 days | 1/1/2007 | 5 | HPV | -,Well tonight is my first night taking metronidazole vaginal gel , the applicator stick was really hard to get in ny vagina anywho I really hope this product works because its messing with my sex life I have a really bad fishy odor and the discharge is waaaayyy to much my underwear is always wet I have way too much respect for myself to just have sex knowing I stink ! | F | 17 | 1 days | 1/30/2012 | 5 | BV | I take one dose a month and it has changed my life for the better. I get thick white clumpy discharge but it is worth it. | F | 23 | 1 days | 2/26/2012 | 5 | bv | Had no side effects. Im one of those people who reads the inserts the pharmacy gives out. I had the clumpy white discharge but i was not alarmed bc i knew wat it was. | F | 35 | 1 days 1xD vagin | 7/26/2012 | 5 | BV | So far have only used one day, but am supposed to use it for 5 days. Like the others here, I woke up this morning with some clumpy, white funk. The reason I've rated it a 5 thus far is because I'm early in the treatment and am clearly experiencing what most everyone here has been. | Getting ready to "insert" the second dose now, wish me luck. I'll continue to post each day of my treatment and let you all know what I'm experiencing. | F | 26 | 1 days | 9/6/2006 | 4 | BV | Cramping, thick discharge | F | 28 | 1 days | 2/20/2012 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | This is the 4-5th time I've taken Metrogel. I've never experienced any symptoms except for discharge (sometimes slightly blood-tinted, other times flaky white chunks, resembling wet toilet paper) It does its job, but for some reason my BV returns after a few months. | F | 27 | 1 days | 3/31/2020 | 3 | bv | none yet | I am brand new to this medication. Im on day 1 and I didnt get an applicator with my prescription. I am nervous because on the tube it says for external use only and doesnt refer say anything about dosage. (My doc was out today when I called for my prescription, the doc there called this in for me). Can anyone tell me about how much to use and that this 1% gel for roatia is the same for my bv?? Thanks so much!! I am lost with this stuff!! | F | 34 | 1 days | 3/6/2007 | 3 | BV | So glad to hear that this side effect is normal. | Discovered through a PAP. No symptoms before. I have taken the med for 1 night and i have burning itching and spongy discharge. I hope it clears up. At least the smell is gone. | F | 24 | 1 days | 3/11/2005 | 3 | I was having terrible itching | All I have been getting is slight cramps so far | Well I have only had one dose so far, and it seems to be okay for now. But I haven't experienced any white chunks like I hear other people saying. My doctor just said to take metro-gel for 5 nights only and the little bacteria that she saw in me should go away. She also said if my period came that I should stop treatment, and start it back when my period finishes. | F | 21 | 1 days | 11/13/2007 | 3 | BV | This board made me feel so much better. I had a couple of glasses of wine the day I started taking it and the first day I had the brown clumpies...thought I maybe had done a bad thing with the alcohol, or that I had something much worse than BV and the doctor had misdiagnosed me. I was on a business trip too - what was I supposed to do!?! Glad to hear this is at least sort of normal and I'm going to stick it out. I hope this is helpful to other girls who get the same scary symptoms. | M | 29 | 1 days | 7/31/2008 | 2 | BV | I have used it befoore with no side effects. This time around is no where near the same. I now am experiencing large amounts of white, clumpy discharge, dark colored stools and a burning sensation ....I no these are all noted side effects to this location...but its kind of freaking me out...I will be contacting my Dr is it continues. | 1 days | 3/14/2012 | 2 | Had a smelly discharge | Started with White discharge then I started spotting..why? | ... | F | 29 | 1 days 5G | 5/5/2020 |
