I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis on Feb 26th and started metrodizanole gel that night. i used it for 5 days. upon completion of the medication i noticed a thick, clumpy, dry white discharge. similar to wet toilet paper but in a nickel size clump. ive been off this medication for about 6 days now and still discharge about one of these clumps a day. Has anyone experienced this???

TIA for any feedback!!image

    That looks like discharge that might come with a yeast infection ,just from my own experience with tablets and gels for treating bv i always get a yeast infection afterwards so i began taking a thrush tablet a few days after anitibiotics now . it would be clumpy like that, but you would have other symptoms to go with it like itching or burning ?

    sounds like a yeast infection common when using metronidiazole gels and tablets
