I was experiencing really painful internal vaginal burning, and went to the Gyno who told me it was BV. The metrogel worked really well for me. I decided to go gel route versus medication bc it was longer to use and pills usually make me form a yeast infection.

I was experiencing really painful internal vaginal burning, and went to the Gyno who told me it was BV. The metrogel worked really well for me. I decided to go gel route versus medication bc it was longer to use and pills usually make me form a yeast infection. Day 3 of the metrogel I experienced super thick chunky discharge, but no other problems with it. The discharge lasted about 4 days after I stopped the metrogel then everything went back to normal. I recommend asking for 2 pills for yeast infection as a prevention of developing one after. I took 1 the first day I started metrogel, and on the 3rd day when I got the discharge as a precautionary. No infections anymore!

Painful cramping. Just finished the last day and it’s caused daily stomach issues along with so so much discharge I’m hoping it worked, I feel better but it definitely does a number on you. Lots of burning sensations and pressure. It also leaks out all day - a lot a lot. Wear a liner of some sort or it will feel not so fresh. I’m worried about the bleeding though... probably just irritated

After being diagnosed with a BV two months ago and trying multiple rounds of oral antibiotics with no success my Dr Rx the gel. I, fortunately, did not have the fishy smell associated with BV but intense soreness and burning during intercourse and urination. I also had a think milky discharge. Much like other experiences the first day using medication only slightly burned along with mild cramps. On day two I had the normal white clumpy discharge which wasn't pleasant but I was willing to try anything at this point. I am currently on day 5 and feeling great! I still have the white discharge but it has decreased considerably. I was informed to complete a 10 day which is confusing because other reviews only state a 5 day term. Has anyone else been told to complete a 10 day? Thank you for providing your feedback ladies!! It was very helpful and put me at ease that I'm not alone!!

According to my doctor I was diagnosed with bv - the first time in my life. My symptoms were urinary frequency, burning, inflammation, watery discharge with no odor. He prescribed the metrogel and I asked why he would not give me pills instead as I really did not want to insert anything into such an irritated area but he insisted this was the best method. I have had no relief from my symptoms. ... Show Full Comment

According to my doctor I was diagnosed with bv - the first time in my life. My symptoms were urinary frequency, burning, inflammation, watery discharge with no odor. He prescribed the metrogel and I asked why he would not give me pills instead as I really did not want to insert anything into such an irritated area but he insisted this was the best method. I have had no relief from my symptoms. Honestly I don't know if the medication has helped at all because some of my symptoms can be side effects of the drug. Here's my side effects: extreme fatigue, dizzyness, complete lack of appetite, extreme nausea, depression, pelvic pain, lower back pain, vaginal burning, itching, urinary frequency and bladder pain. I tested neg. for uti. The first couple of times I used it I also got brief flashes of tingling in both my feet and in my right hand. This went away but the other side effects have not. I do not ever want to take this med again and if I have to I will insist on oral form. Why would they even make a med that had to be inserted vaginally when that area is so irritated from the infection?

I am a postmenopausal woman who got BV for the first time. My doctor prescribed this gel for me to use for 5 nights before bed. It is very easy to insert and did not cause too much leaking when I wake in night time to go to bathroom, but one month later I got BV again.

It is very easy to insert and did not cause too much leaking when I wake in night time to go to bathroom, but one month later I got BV again. The second time my doctor prescribed this for me again, but it caused inflammation of my internal vaginal tissues, so she told me to stop it after day three. Will not use again.
