Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I've had a yeast INFECTION for a week just milky discharge and the smell of yeast! I decided to buy monistat 1dat max strength egg from pharmacy. Usually I use the one day cream with no pain or side effects. After it started to run out the burning started I told my boyfriend I've never felt this before it felt like I was sitting on a hot lightbulb!!! I started to panic thinking I'm having a allergic reaction. What is wrong with my VJ DIDN'T have the nerve to look.. My bf told me it might be because it's the one day egg which means they have to triple the does to cure the yeast at a higher dose he always know the right things say when I'm worried or maybe he knew I would make him go to the hospital with me lol I'm feeling slight warmth today"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I read the reviews after I took this. Usually I do it before but my vagina was on a crazy itchy spree. So I took whatever my husband brought home because I couldn't even walk without itching lol. Anyways these reviews scared the hell outta me. I put the egg in around 2pm I waited a few hours to feel the crazy burning but it never happened. Instead I felt a nice hot/cool feeling like the way mint feels in your mouth. I had a good experience. It's the next day so far its taken the problem away. I do recommend a panty liner on your underwear. Unless you do what I did wear old underwear & threw them out. Everyone is different! So here is the not so scary review."

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "If you can endure a major constant itch for a few hours then you’ll be fine. Tioconzole works & will have your symptoms almost gone by the very next day, yes, once you put it in it WILL give you intense itch. If the product melts & comes down your vagina, yes it will then burn. I kept my legs propped up right after application so it didn’t burn me, too bad... but the itching came 10 mins after application. The itching was so bad that I showered & it cured the itching, even with me showering, I still had more product up there ... some did come out in the shower but not a lot. Just knows it works & this product is way better than having to wait to see a doctor & get a script."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Holy mother. Dying right now. I had moderate swelling and itching from the YI, placed this in at night time. The next time I had a bowel movement the evil egg started to ooze out. My vagina has swollen AT LEAST twice it's size. I feel like I'm being chemically burned. Goopy, which is fine - who cares...but the BURN AND THE SWELLING. I feel like this is worse than my YI. I just finished rocking back and forth naked, on all fours, on my bathroom floor. Prepare yourselves ladies."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I never write reviews but after the horror stories I've read on here I felt compelled to share my experience. I had already bought and inserted the ovule before reading any of these reviews, maybe a tad bit risky but I live life on the edge. lol I used the product around 6:30pm yesterday evening and have had none of the issues some of the ladies here have experienced. (Thankfully) it's now the next day and I feel nothing more than a cooling sensation down there. I didn't experience any burning but just a small amount of itching a couple hours after using Monistat which was nothing I couldn't handle. It seems to really be doing what it's intended to do. This is my first YI and overall I'm very pleased with the results from using Monistat 1."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "My mom had recommended this cream for me. I did not know what to expect once I purchased it. I did not look up reviews or anything so I was fully unaware of the side effects. Once I inserted it, about 10 minutes passed and I started to feel discomfort. It then turned from discomfort to the most extreme burning I've ever felt in my life. My vagina was burning for a good 4 hours. I can admit, the following day, my yeast infection went away. But the process before that was literally helllllll! I was literally crying all night because I didn't think the burning would go away. I would rather deal with the yeast infection then deal with that burning pain I felt. Although it helps.. I don't think it's worth all that pain."

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Currently pregnant and this is my 2nd yeast infection within 7 months. The 1st infection I did the 5day treatment with the medicine that begins with M...miconazole? No complaints about that, I just wanted it cleared up quicker than that. After itching and rubbing raw for over a week; I decided to try this 1 day treatment with the active ingredient tioconazole. It’s been about 30min since I have inserted the medicine and so far so good. I was worried about the burning and itching others had experienced, but I feel like I burned and itched more before insertion. Fingers crossed it clears soon!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm turning 16 at the end of this month and I had another yeast infection. I used Vagisil before, suggested by my doctor. This time, my mother went to and picked up Monistat 1. In comparison, there was no burning or irritation once I applicated the medicine. I would suggest wearing a pad and loose pants that you don't mind get ruined as suggested. However, I felt very uncomfortable about 4 hours after. It was a mixture of burning and itching, so I kept walking around my house and trying to get myself to ignore it. I eventually laid down and went to sleep. When I woke up, I felt completely better. There is still some irritation, but it isn't as bad as it was a few days ago. I would highly recommend if you don't mind the slight side effects."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG this stuff burns 100x worse than the YI!! I inserted it about 15 mins ago and laid right down. I was so uncomfortable I would rather not of taken anything and just called my doc for a prescription. I DO Not Recommend! After the burning started, I wondered if this was normal so I started looking for reviews. After reading through them I decided I couldn't take the burning/itching anymore. I went to the toilet and pushed the gel out and wiped all the cream off. For awhile i just wanted to scratch with something sharp cause it was a painful itch. Now I'm laying in bed with a cool wash cloth between my legs feeling a little bit better. Man, that was torture!!!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay so I've avoided this medication for SO long because of these reviews. IDK if you other ladies are allergic to something in the medication or what but my experience was fine! I get recurrent yeast infections so I've tried everything under the sun EXCEPT for monistat. I've tried terconazole, clotrimazole, boric acid, gentian violet, etc. once I inserted it, I was super itchy for like the first half hour to an hour, then everything calmed down and felt soooo soothing. I woke up just now and feel great! No itching, didn't experience any burning. IDK what all the negativity is about. I'll check back in a few days to see if my infection is cured! have no fear ladies:)"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This product did work but I'll NEVER use it again. I put it in and went to bed. I woke up about two hours later and my vagina was burning/itching like nothing is ever experienced. It felt like my v was on fire. Seriously! It was horrible. I tried to clean it all out About one and a half hours later the burning and itching went away. Yes, the product worked but I burned/itched SO bad that I'll never use it again. Just call the Dr. And get a prescription. You'll thank me later."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Girl, STOP, if you're thinking about buying this just stop and read these reviews. The burning and itching is far worse than your yeast infection could ever be. My only escape is reading these reviews to know I'm not suffering alone. I had to make a doctors appointment to make sure I didn't ruin my entire vagina. I have to assume it's only time before a lawsuit or it's taken off the shelves because of the mass suffering to all these poor, innocent vaginas out there."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I wanted to share my experience because I’m kind of shocked by the other reviews for Monostat 1. I worry that they could either unnecessarily scare someone who has already used it, or keep someone from using it who could benefit from it and doesn’t otherwise have easy access to healthcare (like prescriptions) Yeast infections are uncomfortable, period. And the drug used in Monostat is powerful. That being said, it worked for me. I had a minor yeast infection and used Monostat 1. I continued to workout and go about my daily activities as usual. I was definitely a little uncomfortable, but certainly not even close to the point of needing to go to urgent care. After all, I recognize that this is a really strong anti-fungal treatment. For those who are more sensitive to pain and discomfort, I would highly recommend a 3 or 7 day treatment. 3 days later my symptoms are much better. While not 100%, I no longer have any burning or major itching."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "All of these negative responses were the complete opposite of my experience! Monistat 1 was EXTREMELY affective and cured my infection pretty much overnight. No tenderness. No burning. No itching. My yeast infection was a little more on the extreme side but nonetheless it's pretty much gone now. 100% reccomend!"

Now I'm reading these reviews and wished I had just called the doctor. But WHY does a product that's supposed to HELP with burning and itching make it worse?!?"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This has been one of the worse decision I’ve made. I had mild symptoms to start. I thought I’d try it to completely be clear of it since it’s only one day. I regret it so badly. I decided to look at reviews, yes after, because it’s so uncomfortable and itchy (but I don’t scratch which makes it harder) and thought this isn’t normal because I’ve used others and they have worked. This caught me by surprise. I applied it around 11pm last night and it’s 11:am right now and I still feel discomfort but thankfully it isn’t as bad, mostly it’s just throbbing. Don’t buy it ladies, it’s not worth it at all."

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Like most here on this web site, laying down, itching and burning, trying not to think, so I can ignore jt as much as possible. Not as painful as other medications I've tried before. I tried Monistat a couple of months ago but it didn't do anything so I'm trying this because It's a stronger treatment. Not unbearable, but most definitely it burns"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I guess our bodies do react differently. I was in excruciating pain with the swelling & the itching & the burning from this yeast infection caused by antibiotics that I needed something fast! My husband bought me the Monistat 1 (1st yeast, we weren't sure what to use) But this was the perfect treatment. Used it at night, right AFTER a shower and I felt so much comfort the morning after. I gotta say I was very surprised! I'm very satisfied with this product, well worth the $15.dollars! Do read the instructions. I used the cream applicator and( Not that I want but )I would use it again. Fast relief for me. Thank You Monistat!"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I bought it 1 day after realizing I had a yeast infection. Started the treatment by 10p.m. and it pretty much was a hot burning feeling for about 4-5hrs until 3 a.m. Nothing I couldn't handle. It cooled down significantly especially by 7 a.m. I just think the ingredient was very strong and was working. That's why it felt that way. I hope it knocks out the yeast as fast as it started reacting!"

After 20 minutes I swear there are flames shooting out my lady parts. Nothing seems to help the burning. I applied a cold washcloth, sat in front of a fan, it feels like I applied Ben-Gay to my business. My YI is worse since using this product."
