| 5 | BV | the worst side effects was the white clumpy discharge. other than that i love it! this is my third day using the metrogel and i haven't experienced cramps burning or itching. it got rid of that fishy odor right away | it really works! | F | 19 | 5 days | 3/31/2008 | 4 | Vaginal Bacteria | I experienced the clumpy and stringy discharge that most women have experienced after reading this website. Some dryness of vagina and irritation when peeing on the first and last day of application. No cramps, headaches, nausea, fatigue. I hope that this application doesn't cause any kind of yeast infection. I'm on my last day and i still experience the white clumping and stringy discharge. When should this end? I never knew this gel could even cause a YI, my doctor never told me. If this is not true, please let me know. | M | 19 | 7 days | 3/14/2008 | 3 | I developed a bacterial infection about 2 years ago after I had had an Merina IUD put in. At my 3 month check up for the IUD my gyno took a culture and caught the infection and was told me that it was possibly caused by the IUD and wrote me a script for the Metrogel-vaginal. All I can say about this medication is it was a freakin nightmare! The "brown tissue substance" that was comming out of my pooter was massive and I actually thought my insides were comming out! After I was finished with the meds it went away. Not only did I have the weird discharge but I also felt like my pooter was on fire. I wish these specific side affects were told to me so I knew what to expect. If I ever get another vaginal infection I would choose not to use the Metrogel. | F | 32 | 5 days | 3/11/2008 | 5 | bv | none | Great! Works immediately. No clumping, no side effects, just positive results. | F | 26 | 2 days | 3/7/2008 | 1 | bv | I woke up with cramping and the runs. | F | 33 | 1 days | 2/11/2008 | 3 | Change in Discharge,and light odor. | I was given the 5 day treatment,where you use it every night before bed.Last night was my second night of using this,and Ive experienced Those big white clumps,But im glad to see that im not alone in that.Other than that,It seems to be working. | Seems to work.No Bad Side Affects. | F | 15 | 5 days | 1/25/2008 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I did not have any side effects. I did not even get a yeast infection after taking it at bedtime for 10 days. | I had to wear a panty liner at night because the medicine leaks out, but during the day there was no leakage or discharge. | F | 33 | 10 days | 1/18/2008 | 5 | bacterial infection | I did not experience any of the side effects the other women here did. The gel did come out as a clear discharge the next day so I wore a panty shield. Other than than NO adverse side effects. | After reading some of the other messages here I was not looking forward to the 5 day medication... but I did not have any of the side effects these women had. I even consumed alcohol during the treatment - again no problems. Just thought I would post a positive note for all the women that may be as worried as I was. | F | 38 | 5 days | 1/10/2008 | 5 | discharge & very light oder | none I love this medicine! I suffered with this wet feeling all the time and a small ordor that really only i could smell . I had tried everything! now any time i get that i know exactly what to take! | LOVE IT | F | 25 | 5 days | 1/3/2008 | 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 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Thick, curdy, spongy white discharge. | I don't understand why thick discharge is not mentioned in the literature accompanying this product as something that is expected. It says to contact the doctor if we see this kind of discharge, as if this is some kind of extreme side effect. But from what I can tell, it isn't anything out of the ordinary. I'm glad to read this blog. It helps ease some of the anxiety. I'll contact my doctor tomorrow, but for now, I'm really glad it isn't as major as the literature made it sound. | F | 28 | 4 days | 12/22/2007 | 5 | bacterial infection | I did experience the stringy clumpy discharge as many have already stated, however I took that to believe that the medication was working. I have never experience headaches from taking this medication(that I am aware of). I have never experienced bad cramping. I'd rather deal with symtoms such as a headache than an itcy vagina. For me the good out weighs the bad regarding this medication. Overall I really was satisfied with the outcome of taking this medication, and would take it again if necessary. | I have taken this medication when necessary for about two years and have no complaints about the outcome. | F | 35 | | 12/19/2007 | 5 | BV | This works..My odor was gone immediatly..The white discharge is only the metrogel mixing with your own body secretions. Dont worry, its not a yeast infection..Eventually the metro gel white clumps will go away once your body has washed them out..Ladies, your body and vagina has a way of cleaning its self out.. If the clumps bother you that much insert your finger and make a come hither motion and remove the whit clumps yourself.. Or while in the bath tub if you can, suck water into your vagina and push it out, the white clumps will go away as well!! | F | 27 | 5 days | 12/17/2007 | 4 | BV | Just the normal discharge (the medication leaving my body) | Most people below have said that they were scared of the clumpy discharge. Well, most of the gel gets absorbed into the walls of your vagina but the excess comes out in your panties the next day (where else did you think it was going to go?) It actually tells you this in the pamphlet that comes WITH the prescription. It is in fine print (for those of you who read). Each yogurt and take acidophilus pills to prevent yeast infection. The clumps that result from the metro gel ARE NOT a yeast infection - if you get a YI, you won't know for a couple days after you finish with the metro gel. | M | 24 | 5 days | 12/9/2007 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Slight cramping, tiredness, white papery squiggly-shaped discharge, spotting, yeast infection. | The white discharge that accompanies this medicine is troubling. I don't think it is a symptom of a yeast infection, although I have had a yeast infection as a result of this treatment. The discharge is grainy, and shaped like a squiggly balled up tiny pieces of string. Like many of the other posts, I am troubled that this isn't mentioned in the literature that comes with the product. I have experienced it twice and it seems quite common from the other posts. If I knew it was a possible side-effect, it would be less scary. | F | 38 | 2 days | 11/25/2007 | 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 | 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 | 4 | BV | Only white clumpy discharge | I took the 5 day dose for this medicine, and the really foul fishy odor has gone away, but I can still smell it a little bit unfortunately. I was hoping to completely eliminate the odor. | F | 15 | 5 days | 11/12/2007 | 4 | BV | Well I have used the gel on several occasion and I also hate the white clumpy discharge that comes from using it. I alos have cramps but that is the only side affect that I have. Does any one know why do you have the clumpy white stuff coming out? | F | 34 | 3 days | 11/8/2007 | 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 |
