 2  colposcopy / cryotherapy i had an abnormal pap which led to a colposcopy and cryotherapy of my cervix. my doctor prescribed this following both procedures (about 2 months apart). following the colposcopy i took the medication for 7 days and had the white clumpy discharge that has been described before. i got my period during this time and it completely changed that as well. my doctor said he'd never heard of anyone else's period being affected by this medication. my period returned to normal the following month. but following the cryotherapy i had the white discharge, however, my cervix doesn't seem to be healing and the discharge is like nothing i've ever seen before, red and clumpy (possibly scaby) 3 weeks later. i stopped the medication last night. ask your doctor for an alternative treatment before settling on this.

 4  BV Thick white clumpy wet toilet paper like discharge. I'm a pharmacist and did not expect this. I'm glad I found this site and found out that this is common. They should update their patient education to add this a a side effect, not just vaginal discharge but thick white clumpy discharge! I am satisfied because the itching and vaginal dryness, which were my symptoms of BV, went away after the first application. I still have 1 more dose to go. My BV was discovered during a pap smear. I didn't have the usual symptom of fishy discharge. F 28 5 days

 3  BV After finishing the five days I developed pain, burning, itching, tons of white cottage cheese like discharge and was freaked out! I didn't know what was wrong with me until I found this site and read all of the other comments similar to my results. I had no symptoms, it was discovered as a result of a routine pap and I was scared to death! I didn't know if it was an STD or what. Imagined the worst and didn't have anyone to talk to. 47 5 days

 1  BV I started experiencing the cottage-cheese-like discharge--very clumpy. Before I was diagnosed, I didn't have any symptoms. My vagina became very sore, raw, and dry. Then, this morning, which is my fourth day of treatment, I woke up with a bad skin rash on the inside of my arms. The pharmacist says that I am probably allergic to the medication and to stop taking it immediately. I hate this medication, it's totally screwed up my body!!! F 28 3 days

 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

 4  BV The only problem I encountered was a white discharge. kind of like wet toilet paper, that started in the 3rd day I started the medication and lasted until about 3 days after I was finished with the medication. And, let me say, it really freaked me out until I came to this website and read it was normal!! F 29 5 days

 3  BV Itching like never before!!! White clumpy discharge that occured after taking the gel...sort of like wet toilet paper, as stated before. I am very irritated and dry around my private area.
