I'm currently on metronidazole gel. my last dose is sunday night. i want to have sex with my bf monday is it ok if i douche the white clumps out?

No: The vagina like a self cleaning oven takes care of her own "issues". However, if you douche, you will wash out the effects of the "good bacteria re-establishing themselves" after treatment and re-create your previous infection.
