I recently started using Metronidazole 0.75% Vaginal Gel to treat bacterial vaginosis and have been experiencing some side effects. I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has gone through something similar. The gel is supposed to stop the growth of bacteria causing the infection, but I've been dealing with some unpleasant symptoms. I’ve had some headaches and stomach pain, which the doctor said could be due to the medication. However, I'm also concerned about the more severe side effects mentioned, like nervous system problems and mood changes. Has anyone else had issues with this medication, especially the more serious side effects? Also, how did you manage the discomfort? I’m unsure if I should continue using it or talk to my doctor about switching to something else.
