I recently finished a 5 night treatment of metronidazole vaginal gel and now I am experiencing big clumps of thick, white, gel-like excretions. I don't think it is a yeast infection because I do not have any burning or itching. I think it is the gel leaving my body but I just want to make sure. Is that normal? The gel has to come out sometime, right?
Is thick, white, gel-like discharge normal after using metronidazole vaginal gel?

It may be the infection leaving the body, however when you take medicine like this it may wipe out good bacterias as well as the bad meaning it could have given you a yeast infection. Try over the counter treatment or inform your doctor.
