Not only BV. PID?: BV itself does not cause pelvic pain or cramping, but BV is usually present in women witih pelvic inflammatory disease (PID, fallopian tube infection) and in gonorrhea or chlamydia, all of which can cause cramping. Also, "egg yolk" like discharge is Not typical for BV; any colored discharge often goes along with infections like STDs. Metrogel alone definitely won't help. Insist on doctor, not RN.

Not sure: I think you need to get proper pelvic exam and also cultures of vaginal discharge,normally discharge does not cause cramps but discharge can cause pelvic wall irritation ,but PID can cause the symptoms you are describing so also get a gc/chlamydia check
