User Reviews for Metrogel Vaginal vaginal

MetroGel is amazing, unlike other virginal creams, this one doesn’t make me bleed when I use it. And it worked immediately on day one of use. But can I request that you go back to the old transparent applicators instead of these pink once. Reason being the pink ones are not comfortable and they don’t insert the entire gel inside.

I couldn’t bring myself to sleep naked while on this gel as I was worried it would get everywhere. I slept in cotton underwear the first 4 nights and nothing the 5th night. It is odorless and is easy/painless to insert. Day 1 I felt cramping and had diarrhea for a majority of the morning. Afternoon and evening I felt fine. BV smell lessened. Day 2 I felt cramping again and had diarrhea in the morning. I didn’t feel like I wanted to eat breakfast which is unusual for me. Drank plenty of fluids. Noticed in evening a weird discharge. BV smell was basically non existent at this point. Day 3 mild cramping and diarrhea. Appetite was normal and felt fine the rest of the day. Discharge was like cottage cheese but hard? That freaked me out a bit but I knew the medicine was getting the bacteria out. Day 4-5 no symptoms in the morning or during the day. Discharge was still clumpy cottage cheese texture. Realized I never asked my doctor when it was safe to have sex with my husband again so waiting on that confirmation. Last night was my last dose. Overall, I am happy with the product and it appears it cleared up my BV.Read More Read Less

I was diagnosed with VB and give this gel. While it’s easy to use at night, I’m on day 4 of 5 with absolutely no relief. Inflammation is still bad, everything itches still and hurts. I go for a follow up in a couple days, not sure what’s next. The diflucan pill did nothing either.

Currently on night 4 of treatment. Slight stomach cramps on the 1st and 3rd night so far. Very small amount of pink and brown clumpy discharge on 1st and 2nd day. Fishy odor has subsided. Only problem is the applicator it doesn't fill up completely without the gel being oozed out the other end. The correct dosage cannot be administered because as it's being squirted out the gel gets pushed back into the applicator and gets stuck..quite dissatisfied.

I never give reviews for anything but I felt the need to give one for this medication. It caused me to have severe anxiety attacks, numbness all over, dissociation, and dizziness that will not go away. I am hoping now that I’ve stopped it I’ll start feeling better.

I experienced so many side effects I had dizziness, horrible stomach pains,horrible headaches, and I felt extremely sick. This was just after an hour or so of taking it. I already can't take the pills so I definitely can't take the gel.

PLEASE READ: I really just want to share two BV triggers I have found for me that may be the cause of others BV as well. 1. Bar soap- something in it causes it every time, finally caught on and never used it again and BV practically never comes back 2. Unless... there is constant use of cheap toilet paper. What I've noticed is cheap toilet paper leaves a residue and clumps off. So I now no longer wipe my entire vagina after peeing, I simply pat or blot a couple times and that's it. Medication review: Doctor prescibed the gel this time around since my partner and I are actively trying to get pregnant. My experience with the gel has been perfect. 5 nights, no symptoms, no discharge. Read More Read Less

Some of you chics will complain about anything just to have something to complain about! The clumping of the vaginal discharge is absolutely normal and indicative that the gel is working. I have had wine while using the gel, so my experience is that it didn’t make me sick. It also takes away BV after 5 days of treatment. If you want to do something productive, have your male partners treated for BV while you get treated. Boom!

Was having weird yellowish discharge and a little fishy scent here and there but no symptoms really. Doctor diagnosed me with BV via swab sample, this is my 3rd time having BV in under a year. It’s really annoying and I didn’t know I had it this time as my symptoms weren’t consistent and I wasn’t having pain like I did for the first two times. First two times I took oral Flagyl but had horrible horrible side effects like nausea, bad taste in mouth, and a yeast infection. So this time my doctor gave me this gel instead. I was worried about side effects but have experienced very little. I did get thick, chunky, white discharge on day 2 and after, I get mild cramping after inserting the gel but nothing super serious. I like the cool sensation the gel gives when it’s inserted plus no real side effects! At least nothing major for me. Scent and BV symptoms were gone after 1 application. It was pricy for me even with my insurance but I will be using this gel for BV in the future, I love it! Read More Read Less

My gyno prescribed the gel to treat recurring bv by using once per week for 6 months. I used it on Monday, cottage cheese discharge came soon after but I know this is normal. However, today is Sunday and the discharge isn’t slowing down. I don’t see myself using it again because one week of discharge is a mess especially when I’m to use it weekly. I did take medication for a YI on Thursday to ensure that didn’t occur. So now I’m just having clumpy discharge. It’s miserable.

When my doctor first told me about MetroGel and told me where it goes and how to use it, I freaked out. I said I don’t want to do that. He told me that it’s best for the medicine to go straight into the vagina to for less side effects instead of oral medication. I was ok with it. So I thought ok I’ll give it a try. But it was a suppression. He wanted to treat the BV with oral antibiotics first and the use the MetroGel for suppression. I was ok with that. But every time I go to use the gel it always seemed to come back. My body is reacting to the gel and the BV just keeps coming back so I guess we will have to try something else.. idk. I’m at a loss right now of what my doctor is going to do next. Read More Read Less

I had an allergic reaction, urticaria.

This medicine gave me severe cramps severe anxiety that lasted for days and made me severely depressed I ended up taking clindimyicin the next time I had a bv !!!! I also had to take dyflucant for yeast infection from antibiotics but no side effects from oral antibiotics verses they gel thanks but no thanks ð???

I just finished a 5 day (1 dose per day) treatment - I was worried about side effects having read other reviews, but other than some cramping on day 3 and the cottage cheese discharge (which means it’s working), I had no problems. My BV symptoms have cleared up and I’m back to my normal self

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! Read More Read Less

Okay so I can count the times I've had BV. And, I say BV because although all my wet peeps, cultures for STD'S come back negative. My dr and I are baffled at the smell???? I taken flagyl 500mg that stuff is the bomb! But we are talking about METROGEL so I didnt have no leakage. It was super easy for me to use. I didnt get no cramping or unusual pelvic pain. I did however seen the stuff coming out with the gel. But after 5 days. The smell still lingered around for maybe 5 days. Then I started my period and it wasn't putrid but I could smell it. I finished my period and for the past 3 days I have no smell at all... So, I dont know. I'm 43 and my vagina has started to change its frustrating because I am so in tune with my juices I can't stand any smells. I never ever used ro smell while on my period. I have a gyn app tomorrow we'll see what the dr says. Read More Read Less

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!!Read More Read Less

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? Read More Read Less

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. 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.
