 2  Bv Clumpy toilet paper discharge. Worst in mid morning. I have had Bv several time this past year which is something new. I am so frustrated because I am unsure of how long I will have to live with this. I have tried everything in the book. I just want this do go away. This is day four of medication. I was proscribed both gel and pill. I am so over the gel I sto to see if the discharge would go away while continuing the pill. I am going crazy. F 23 1 days

 1  BV Burnt not just burning. Actual chemically burnt which caused crusting during healing process. Long term damage is vulvodina This is a sulfa based antibiotic as told to me by my dermatologist. Reaction was similar to Steven johnson syndrome. The physician should have not given this to me nor the flagyl, due to my previous adverse reaction to Sulfa antibiotics causing damage to my liver. Most physicians do not know that this and flagyl are in the Sulfa antibiotic category. F 1 days

 1  bacterial vagintitis burning sensation of the throat and tongue. tightness in the throat and stomach pain. never use this drug the side effects are far worse than any other meds i've taken thus far. stick with the holistic natural approaches when treating bacterial vagintitis and yeast infections. go to earth clinic the remedies there really rocks and works most of the time. i had to go to the er and stayed over night they treated me with steroids,benadryl allergy med,and pain pill. all over a simple bv infection. i am now using a steriod for 6 days(ugh) to reverse the side effects and i washed my vaginal area out with braggs apple cider vinegar and ate 2 probiotic yogurts brand called chobani which has live probiotics in it several good flavors look it up on google. i feel way better after the wash and yogurt treatment. unfortunanetly i now have to deal with the steroid pray for me guys! please do not use either metro gel or the clindimyacin...Thanks!

 1  BV during pregnancy Cramping for a whole day, which caused a lot of anxiety, as I'm 5 months pregnant- my ob/gyn decided to take me off the medication after one dose as a result. She found cottage cheese-like discharge already after one day- she thought it was candida, which I did not have the day before when she examined me. I also have developed very dry and tingly lips and cracks in the corner of my mouth. It's poison in my opinion. I would never take this again. I'm just grateful my baby appears to be OK. F 42 1 days

 1  no reason. wacko doctor immediately after first dose had racing heart Can't believe a medical doctor actually prescribed this stuff to me. I had no symptoms of bv, no discharge, pain, itching, smell, NOTHING. I even had a normal pap smear! I came in with abdorminal pain which I later found to be a cyst. My doctor actually prescribed something the causes abdorminal pain, when I came to here for abdorminal pain. She never mentioned how to use the stuff, what it was for, what the side effects were. I am extremely sensitive to medicines and hate taking them. Especially for illnesses I don't have! I cannot believe my doctor! I always use this website when starting new medicine and am sorry I waited until after my first dose to read the comments on this terrible terrible drug F 19 1 days

 1  Bv I would not recommend this medication or the Flagyl oral tabs at all..I just started getting this bright red blood on the tissue but like 30 min ago it was dark red now it's bright red smh i started freaking out and thank goodness i found this thread or i would have been even more paranoid..I never had any symptoms from BV other than horrific urethral pain for 8 months strate ,They thought i had interstitial cystitis because all my urine tests came back clean for Uti ..So imagine 8 months of your urethra feeling like there's shards of broken glass in it all day all night it was so painful i lost 40 pounds during that time because who could think about food when your in that much pain..Mind you i had seen a urologist had cystopies done saw a Urogyno who told me it was ic ,Saw gyno after gyno and urgent care ugh nightmare is what it was..So i knew it had some type of bacterial infection because you don't just one day wake up with your urethra burning and i had sex the night before and my husband is not circumcised..So i finally find this fb group and one of the girls did a Microgen DX test it DNA sequences the urine to look for hidden infection and sure enough Pos for Bacterial Vaginosis smh 8 months all these tests cystopies no Std's no smell no discharge just excruciating pain in the urethra and the belly..So they put me on 7 days flagyl and it stopped burning there was no more burning in the urethra it was a miracle after going through all that ..Now it's back and at least i Abdominal pain cramps bleeding dark red to light or bright red ..Thick white discharge ..Pain in the vagina almost like a tugging and it itches almost like a yeast infection is brewing ..These cramps and bloody discharge is concerning...Also it is hard to pee almost like you have to push hard to urinate...I dont like this gel or those flagyl oral pills ...

 5  BV Yeast Infection I'm prone to BV so I consider myself a professional Metro-Gel user. I've been familiar with this drug for over 5 years, it's second nature to pick up a box of Monistat when I pick up the Metro-Gel with the expectation that as soon as I complete the pink box, I'll hit the blue. It's really no big deal, it's kind of like rebooting your vaginal area...once you're done everything is completely back to normal!! F 30 15 times

 1  BV I had nausea, fatigue, cramping and severe vaginal bleeding. I ended up in the ER twice in one week due to what I believed to be hemorraging. I had tests performed including, blood and urine, ultrasound and vaginal ultrasound. Two weeks ago I went in for a cervical and uterine biopsy. The Dr.'s were all baffled and have all told me that all is fine. I have been placed on birth control pills for the next three months to control the abnormal bleeding despite NEVER having bleeding between periods. All this due to Metrogel? I'm grateful to have found this site especially since I just started another dose last night. I won't continue with the treatment. I could have saved my sanity as well as a lot of money for copays and medication had these side effects been mentioned somewhere or by someone at the time of prescribing. F 36 3 times
