Metronidazole gel for BV...anyone else???


My doctor prescribed this metronidazole gel for my bacterial vaginosis. It seemed to have worked very and got rid of my infection, and I know this because the fishy smell, and greyish cervical mucous is gone. My concern now is that I am done the 5 day treatment and I now have this very thick very white discharge. What I think it is, is the gel collecting all the bad stuff and pushing it all out. Sorry for the TMI! I also have a very very slight almost not even there, itch. I was wondering if anyone else ever used this medication and had the same effect after treatment. It really is not bothersome. It is just there and I wanted to hear some personal experiences. Thank you for all your help.

That sounds normal to me. Just like the previous person said, if it gets any worse, like smelly or colored, contact your doctor. Otherwise it sounds like your body is just geeting rid of the bad stuff. I have only taken the pill form for this. Sorry I could not be more help.

hi there i just needed to say that the discharge is likely caused from the gel if its white and U have a itch then U may need sulfur why? because antibiotics/ Pen causes yeast infection that can be fixed easily FYI ladies/gents always keep a container of yogurt unflavored just in case
North Report It

It could just be the debris left from the infection sloughing off. Just get in touch with the doctor if the discharge starts to have a color to it or foul odor. Good luck.
