A member asked:

How many days does it take for the white discharge for your vaginal to go away? i just finished my treatment fof bv i was using metronidazole gel.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common: It's very common to have white vaginal discharge after you use Metrogel. The cream is clear when you put it in but it turns and a little clumpy after a day or so. That's not yeast, but the cream that has changed.
