BV and Metrogel

[Dees1977]

I have been had bv off and on for 2 years. Very frustrating! Anyway today is Friday and I ended my 5 nights of metrogel on Monday night. I am still having irritation and discharge. I know that I am sensitive to creams and monistat and over the counter yeast medications cause me to swell and itch. So I am not sure if my irritation is from the metrogel or that it is still bv. My doctor also gave me 2 diflucan to take while I was on the metrogel and I have been taking femdophilous. Has metrogel caused anyone else irritation and how long did it last and how long do you have discharge? The discharge is better but still there. Thank you

Oh yes! I had horrible side effects on Metrogel. Mine were the same as yours, except I also had pancreatic pain that mimics a pancreatitis attack. If you look at the list of side effects, this is one of them too.

My Dr. switched me to vaginal suppositories, but I forgot which ones they were. But, they worked like a charm. Although, it is definately possible to have BV infections reoccur. They are infamous for doing that!

Good luck! Hope your Dr switches you and it works for you too!
