Not from the drug: Metronidazole doesn't do this. Neither does BV itself. However, BV often accompanies other conditions that could cause vaginal bleeding, such as STDs (e.g. gonorrhea, chlamydia), cervicitis, pre-cancerous changes due to HPV, and others. Discuss with with the clinic or doctor who diagnosed and treated your BV. Good luck!
