| 2 | Bv | White rubber like discharge and soon as the medicine would come out onto the pantie liner it was back. Lower stomach pain had to poop all the time. And The pills where even worse I could not even function taking those. | It smells so bad it helped make the smell not as bad but never left.The smell that lights up a hole room. Soon as the medicine would come out onto the pantie liner it was back. Lower stomach pain I just wish they would make someting that got ride of the smell all together and not mask it is no fun.The pills where even worse I could not even function on taking those. | F | 27 | 7 days | 11/19/2017 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Dry-ish clumpy white discharge, mild cramping | The discharge is freaking me out! Now that I know it's a somewhat common side effect of Metrogel I'm feeling a little better about my situation. I've had three swabs at the doctor's office trying to figure it out, but she has had no answers for me - other than the fact that I don't have STIs or yeast. The doctor kept telling me that the change in my discharge was due to hormone fluctuations or stress, but I know there's something not right with my body. I'd like to know how long I can expect to continue to see these nasty white clumps. | F | 34 | 7 days 5mg 1X day | 10/14/2011 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Vaginal Metrogel gave me peripheral neuropathy, a kind of burning and tingling sensation in my feet. I still have it four months later. | I have read that hydrogen peroxide douche once per day for seven days works to treat bacterial vaginosis. I would have preferred to have tried that first. | F | 53 | 7 days 1X day | 5/2/2010 | 1 | BV/cervicitis | I started getting the freaky clumped discharge and tried fishing it out only to end up with more, now that i've finished the meds everything feels too tight, like the skin from front to back wants to rip and i've had after-period-looking bleeding for nearly a week now, although my actual period is due in a few days. Also there's...cell matter? Every time i wipe it's there and now it's started acting like a usual discharge and it's on my underwear enough to soak through to my jeans. Lots of pain now, feel like my uterus is rotting. | Don't!!!! Avoid this med, there must be better options. I didn't have great advising about this drug until i started looking around on the net, I had No warning. | F | 19 | 7 days | 5/29/2005 | 1 | BV? | Gross, glittery discharge at random times during the day. Vulvodynia for the past 10 years. Spasms (seizures?!) in upper thighs. Pain. | I think this caused my vulvodynia! I've been to too many doctors to count, and still the burning doesn't go away. My first problem occured from a traumatic sexual encounter and was mainly bladder pain. After taking this and then having to take yeast meds, I developed severe burning and weird discharge. Doctors then decided I was having a reaction to the metrogel and yeast drugs! The second time it was prescribed, I woke up having tiny shakes in my upper legs and tingling in hands. This scared me so much I refuse to take it ever again. Use at your own risk. I still don't think I ever had BV or if I did if it was something that needed medication. My problems were apparently unrelated to the supposed BV, as I never felt any BV sx, and taking this med only made me suffer! | F | 7 days | 1/2/2008 | 1 | I had no symptoms but positive bv | Horrible metallic taste, body aches, and fatigue. I have been bleeding and passing clots as if I have a period. Lower back cramps. I had no symptoms only a positive vaginosis test. Absolutely no odor, no discharge only a positive test. I have been bleeding for 5 days now since finishing the last dose. | I would never take this drug again. I feel horrible. | F | 44 | 7 days .75% 2X day | 7/5/2020 | 5 | Metrogel-vaginal | The positive was that I got a very soothing feeling vaginally during the entire time I took the gel except for the 6th day. Then I started to experience burning. I got so sick on Metro Gel cream I wasn't sure I could go the full 10 days, so didn't. I also didn't fill the applicator to the top. I knew I couldn't tolerate that much medication.I felt nausea the entire time. Headache. Horrible stomach cramps. Dizzy. I only stayed with it because it really works. I have the white gross clumps of discharge that sure look like yeast. I would have started to take Diflucan, but haven't after reading all the wonderful posts on here. I am seeing my doctor on Monday to get cultures done to make sure the BV is gone, and this isn't yeast. I dread taking it again because of the side effects. I literally had to stay home, but the relief immediately from the smell and itch is well worth it if you can stand the side effects. I couldn't tolerate the pill so glad this is available. Less of both evils | F | 61 | 6 days 1X day | 9/5/2014 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | My eye is twitching but that could totally be non-related. had a mild like, psuedo headache. nothing bad. | EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THESE WHITE CLUMPY DISCHARGE AFTER A FEW DAYS ON METROGEL. THIS IS A YEAST INFECTION!!!! lol. CAUSED BY THE ANTIBIOTICS USED TO KILL THE BAD BACTERIA. METROGEL WILL KILL ALL BACTERIA IN YOUR VAGINA. SOME BACTERIA IS NEEDED TO KEEP YEAST UNDER CONTROL. NO BACTERIA=YEAST OVERGROWTH=YEAST INFECTION. MY GYNO IS SMART, AND TO CURB THIS, GAVE ME TWO DIFLUCAN TABS. ONE TAB I TOOK ON DAY TWO OF METROGEL AND THUS DIDN'T DEVELOP A YEAST INFECTION. SHE SAID IF I DID, BY THE END OF THE USE, TO TAKE THE OTHER DIFLUCAN IF NEEDED. NO PROBLEMS OTHERWISE. I USED CLEOCIN LAST TIME I HAD BV AND DEVELOPED THE WORST YEAST INFECTION I'VE EVER HAD. SINCE I AM PRONE TO YEAST AFTER ANTIBIOTIC USE, WE COMBAT THAT BEFORE HAND BY FIGHTING YEAST DURING MEDICATING THE BV!!! GOOD LUCK & DON'T FREAK OUT! IF YOU SEE WHITE CLUMPY DISCHARGE, IT'S YEAST-GO BACK TO YOUR GYNO FOR DIFLUCAN!!! | F | 22 | 6 days | 12/10/2006 | 5 | Vaginal Infection | Like everybody else I'm dealing with the thick white clumpy discharge but I'm also noticing constipation more often than ever in my life and very very slight abdominal cramping. I'd really just like to go back to being normal and feeling normal... | F | 20 | 6 days 2X day | 5/30/2010 | 5 | BV | Tonight is my first time using it. I was pleased at how easy it was to apply. hopefully this works. I will post back in a few days | F | 22 | 6 days 5mg | 2/2/2012 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Bitter taste in mouth, slight nausea and abdomen discomfort, headache, clumpy white discharge...but none of the side effects were extreme | F | 21 | 6 days 1 applicat | 12/31/2011 | 5 | BV | I was prescribed for 5 days Once every night . The side effects ive had were the clumpy white discharge , abdominal pain and a little nausea . The clumpy discharge fully went away for me after 6 days :) hope this helps if you had any question about the discharge . | F | 17 | 6 days 1x | 1/26/2012 | 5 | bv | I'm pregnant and was prescribed this every night for 5 nights. The only side effect I had is the white clumpy discharge. Didn't really bother me tho, just put on a pantyliner and last night was my last night. Had some odor before medication so I hope its gone now. | F | 21 | 6 days | 3/27/2012 | 5 | Recurrent BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) | Mild abdominal pain, bloating, metallic taste, white clumpy discharge, vaginal burning | F | 30 | 6 days | 2/23/2012 | 5 | BV | Lots of white clumpy discharge , moderate nausea and mild abdominal discomfort and cramping | F | 18 | 6 days 5 grams | 5/15/2012 | 5 | Continuous Bv | The only symptom I'm having is this thick disgusting white, yellowish,pinkish chunk discharge. I'm not upset about our because the smell is COMPLETELY gone. I've been suffering continuously for the last 4+ years now. Is caused me to have my youngest child 12 weeks early. Visited a new GYN with this method saying that instead of using it one a night for a week...finish the tube. Got 3 refills so if it comes back do it again for one more tube then again once a week till it's gone. He says he gives this treatment once per patent and they don't come back with the same issue. Im thinking this time the infection was pretty bad because this discharge is relentless! It looks like a bad cold with goat cheese stirred in with a few splashes of ketchup every now and then (gross). I've had it before but it stopped at the end of the one week treatment. I'll keep using it until the tube is gone and hopefully the vaginal vomit will be gone too | F | 26 | 6 days .75% | 6/9/2013 | 5 | BV | Just the white rubbery discharge. Will ask for yi pill just in case. Took the pill, tastes horrible so i was bad at taking it on time. That got rid of the odor cuz i did finish my full dose. But since it was so irregular didn't fully cure bv. Now using metrogel i love it only 1x/day. And no side effects like the pill! | F | 21 | 6 days 5mg/day | 11/5/2012 | 4 | BV | Clumpy White Discharge, Smell started decreasing on the 3rd day of usage I'm on my 5th day it's completely gone. I had some irritation and mild burning while urinating. This is no fun to deal with :( | F | 20 | 6 days 0.75% | 7/14/2012 | 4 | BV | First laet me state how and why I'm taking metrogel. I went to my doctor because of abnormal vaginal bleeding. So she did the pap and I'm having a vaigianl ultra sound. In the meantime she said there was bacteria in my vagina, she perscribed metrogel for 7 days. I'm on my sixth day. I'm experincing rasberry colored cottage cheeze like discharge. It is gross. The blood color in the discharge is very differnt color from the blood I was having before the metrogel. | I didn't know a yeast infection was a side effect. Oh NO! I was told not to drink ( haven't) Has anyone gotten sick from metrogel and drinking? | F | 30 | 6 days | 9/16/2005 | 4 | BV | Clumpy white discharge | F | 23 | 6 days | 6/19/2012 |
