A member asked:
Does matronidazole vaginal gel cause thick white pasty discharge that sits there and doesn't come out? different from yeast discharge.10weekspregnant2
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Metronidazole, medication for bacterial vaginitis, often goes into the vagina as a clear gel but may last in the vagina for days. It may often turn white and chunky. If this new discharge is associated with worsening of symptoms, itching or burning, follow up with doctor.
