Q: getting clumpy, thicker discharge after usage of metronidazole vaginal gel .75% but it comes out during sex. its seven days after i finished treatment?

: This kind of discharge is typical for vaginal yeast infection, which can be triggered by antibiotics like metronidazole. Yeast is especially likely if you also have vulvar irritation or itching. See your doctor if your symptoms continue. Good luck.
