A member asked:

I"m currently taking metronidazole for bv and i woke up to use the bathroom and i notice i had a creamy white discharge and my urine was darker is this normal?

Yes: A creamy white discharge can be a symptom of BV and metronidazole can cause darkened urine in about 1 in 100,000 patients. Hope this helps.
