What Causes Abnormal Mucus Discharge Followed By A Large Amount Of Cottage Cheese Like Substance?
I am about to take my 4th night of Metroidazole Vaginal Gel but today I have had an abnormal mucus like discharge followed by a large amount of "cottage cheese" like substance. My other symptoms had cleared up but now this has arrived. Is this from the medication? What do I need to do?

Hi,
Your symptoms can be due to fungal infections and Metronidazole may not be effective against fungi. Anti fungal drugs like Fluconazole or Miconazole should be used. I would suggest you to get a vaginal smear and pelvic scan to rule out pelvic infections.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
