Question 1

i took my second dose of metrogel last night. thick white discharge and slight itching today. side effect or yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Probably yeast: Call your prescribing doc and notify them. They can prescribe antifungal medication to use for the yeast.  Feel better soon!

Question 2

i had a vagina discharge it was thick and white. i treated it with metrogel and now i have a white clumpy discharge well i don't think it's a discharge but i can see it on my vagina ?

Accepted Answer

Yeast: It is most likely a yeast infection and the Metrogel just did not adequately treat it. You may consider asking your doctor for a one-pill only prescription of Difulcan or if it's this bad and resistant for a 2 or 3 pill dose each 72 hours apart. I assume you already saw him/her if you had the Metrogel and they did cultures? If you didn't it may be time to see them.

Question 3

i had bv and aerobic vaginitis. had sex with my boyfriend and knew hours later something was wrong. tested neg for uti.i had thick white discharge so i took a diflucan. still felt itching so i started metrogel. constant urge to pee. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: Yeast, recurrent BV, trichomonas, other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) and other conditions all could be responsible. It is time to stop attempts at self treatment and see a doctor, ideally a gyn who subspecializes in infectious diseases or at least has substantial experience with vulvovaginal infections. Good luck.

Question 4

normally, how long would the discharge after metrogel last?

Accepted Answer

Up to a week: I tell people up to a week after completing therapy.  After that the therapy might have been a failure and you need to go back to the office.

Question 5

im on my 3rd dose of metrogel & every morning i have noticed a pinkish small chunky discharge  every m. almost looks likes tissue, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Metro gel : You are probably seeing the medication . It's probably best to wait until you are done using vaginal medication before trying to assess your vaginal discharge.

Question 6

is white clumpy discharge normal, when taking metrogel for bv?

Accepted Answer

Superimposed Yeast: It is not uncommon for people who are treated for BV to develop a yeast infection on the meds.  You should be looked at by your gynecologist but I have seen this before.

Question 7

using metrogel is it normal for clumps of discharge to come out along with what looks like tiny specks of blood? are the clumps yeasts?

Accepted Answer

Why are you: using Metrogel? Was that prescribed to you for bacterial vaginosis? Yeast-y clumps are usually whitish, thick cottage cheese like, but not always.  More vaginal discharge after treated with Metrogel for at least 3-4 days is a sign that there is other infection involved.  Please get to a family or GYN specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

im now usein metrogel for 4days an now i have wet paper towel discharge that don't itch or burn or have a odor what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Its probably: From the metrogel, but if it persists after the treatment is finished, see your doctor.

Question 9

i was diagnosed with bv and prescribed metro gel. i've been taking the gel for 5 days now and for the past 3days i've been having a reddish brown clumpy discharge come out with the clear metrogel.

Accepted Answer

You also need difluc: Bv is often combined with moniliasis
need treatment for both.

Question 10

clumpy discharge after using metrogel ,it recently starting itching ,should i consult a doctor?

Accepted Answer

: "Clumpy" discharge plus itching suggest yeast infection (thrush), which can be triggered by Metrogel. Ideally see a doctor. But it would probably be safe to first try a product for yeast infection with active ingredient ending in "azole" (clotrimazole, miconazole, etc). Or single dose oral fluconazole. A pharmacist can help. Get care in person if that doesn't clear it up in a few days. Good luck.
