For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I agree with everyone else regarding the intense itchy feeling and pain right after inserting the cream, but it gets better after about 20 minutes. The trick is to use anti-itch cream or anti-itch wipes right after you apply the cream. These wipes were heaven-sent. My ob-gyn suggested the 7-day treatment because it's not as irritating as the 3-day one. This product works despite its annoying side effects, so do not stop using it if you can. After 1-2 treatments, the itchiness stopped during the day."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have used this product many times, but this is the first time it has felt like this. The itching is unbearable. I really wanted to go to the ER. I wondered if they made a few changes in the product, cause I've never felt like this. I literally wanted to scratch it out."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Before taking this, the itch was so intense I wanted to cry. It was irritating and uncomfortable. I called my doc on a Thursday, but they couldn’t see me until Monday. I couldn’t wait that long with the kind of itching and burning I was having. I purchased Vagisil to try and ease it before the doctor's appointment, and that only helped for about 3 hours, and you’re only able to apply it 3-4 times a day. Like other users said, the first night of Monistat is something else!! Lord, the itching inside was worse than the itch from the YI! It started maybe 10-15 minutes after insertion. I stuck it out, and the next morning I already had relief, and the rest of the day the itching was gone! I’ve read that the burning and itching is due to how long you have the YI, and for me, I think it had been a few days, maybe even a week, until I realized what it was. If you can get through the first night, it’s worth the relief the next day. I’m going to continue with the 7 days to make sure it’s fully gone."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First time I got a yeast infection due to the fact that I'm 3 months pregnant, and it wasn't too bad. Yes, the Monistat did burn and itch, but it wasn't so bad. I didn't even know I had a yeast infection until my OB told me, and I decided to treat it right away, even though I didn't really have many symptoms. The first 2 nights I felt the itching and burning, but by the 3rd day, I felt a lot better. I wanted to stop, but I read it's better to continue it, so I finally finished the medication today. So, ladies, it really works, you just have to be able to bear through it and take it like a champ. You will be much happier once you're pain-free and the yeast infection is completely gone."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so this is my first time having a YI. I'm 17, and I was so scared at first! I told my sister my situation, and she recommended the Monistat 7, saying the others didn't work. Well, I'm on night 4 right now, and that pain is so horrible! The fact that you have to take the cream before bed makes it really hard for me to fall asleep. The pain gets so bad I have to distract myself so I won't burst out into tears. This has been such a long week, and I dread every night I have to go to bed."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I just used this cream almost 3 hours ago, and I think my vagina is about to fall off! It is worse than before! The intense burning sensation and discomfort. I was doing well with the vinegar, so I don't know why I bought this mess. Never again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I've tried Monistat 7 twice, and the first time I got a slight burn and itch, but the second time I got nothing. I do apply at bed, but for some reason, when I get up to pee, it comes out. I don't know if that is normal or not, but I would like to let everyone know that the burning and itch is normal, especially the itching, that's showing you that the Monistat is working. Now, the burning comes from the inflamed vagina that's irritated due to the YI. I don't know why you ladies think something is wrong with the product, it's definitely not the product. I would definitely use it again, it does help a lot, especially when you can't get into the doctors right away... but I suppose it really is determined by how much pain each person is in."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First night of using Monistat 7 was extremely uncomfortable; after inserting the cream, it started to tingle, and it felt a bit disturbing. But then it started to feel itchy inside, then the burning started, and OMG it was unbearable. I wish I could have washed it out of my vagina. I had to stick it out but was afraid to even insert the second dose."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I bought the Monistat 7 day pack. The first two days were not bad, but man, day three was the worst! Day three, I inserted the cream, and within 30 minutes, I felt unbearable burning and itching, like OMG! I attempted to try and go to sleep because I thought when I woke up, everything would be fine. The pain was so bad I couldn't even go to sleep. It got so bad my hands started shaking, and I almost cried! On a scale from 1 to 10, my pain went from 0 to 100 real quick! And it's crazy because the first two nights I inserted the cream, by morning I knew it had started to work because I continued to feel better both mornings, but day three had me never wanting to take Monistat again, like they should seriously remove this product off the shelves."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "(DO NOT WAIT UNTIL WEEKS LATER TO SELF-DIAGNOSE OR IT WILL BURN) I noticed my vagina getting swollen on night one. Night two, the itching was UNBEARABLE, and I couldn’t sleep, so I made my husband run to the drugstore to get me Monistat 7. I inserted it during the day, so I had to lay down for the remainder of the day. Once I inserted it, the itching intensified, the burning not so much. Since the application can get messy, wipe any excess leakage away from my lady bits, and it helps. Hopefully, I never experience the burning. I have used this medication multiple times and never experienced intense burning *knocks on wood*."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The first day it is very itchy, and the second day it was bearable. On day three, I was itching inside as well. The remainder of the four days were a tad bit better. There was still itching, but I knew that by day five my yeast infection was gone. The cooling wipes helped a little too. It was worth the pain that I went through. Ladies, hang in there if you can!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Really wish I would have read the reviews before I bought it. The most horrible experience ever! First and last time using it! I hate medicines that are counterproductive. Before I started taking this, I merely was uncomfortable, and now I have full-on pain. The itch is unbearable. I had to attempt to wash it out, but even that didn't fully work. Moral of the story... always read the reviews."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I just bought Monistat 7. Generally, I never had any problems, but the minute I inserted the cream, 5 to 10 minutes later, I started itching and burning like crazy. It was worse than before, something ain't right about this Monistat 7. I'm surprised they don't have a lawsuit against them."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 18 years old, and I had never had a yeast infection in my life until recently. I was experiencing itching first and then the burning, and it hurt terribly to walk. My mom told me to get Monistat 7, and immediately after the first dose, there was an increase in burning and itching, but I applied aloe vera around the outside of my vagina (vulva) and took ibuprofen for relief. After 3 days of taking Monistat, my infection had cleared up completely. I haven't fulfilled the full 7 days, but I'm very happy with Monistat."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First night using Monistat 7, burning like lava. Yesterday I had intense itching but didn't have the cream. Today the itching was almost gone, and I bought the medicine. I don't feel any itching, just immense burning sensation. I can handle it, but it's very uncomfortable and painful. Die fungus, die literally."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I read everyone’s reviews about it burning and itching, and I decided to try this product for myself as I am pregnant and that’s the medicine my doctor recommended. I was so scared due to all these reviews, but I tried it and it’s not that bad. It really hasn't burned that bad, maybe I have a better pain tolerance or it affects everyone differently. I don’t know, lol. There’s a small burn and itch, but it’s not unbearable to the point where I'm crying, and it only lasts 30 minutes. After that, the pain and itching is gone. I felt so much relief after using this product, the 30 minutes of discomfort was definitely worth it. I just had to suck it up for thirty minutes."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Yeah, Monistat itches and burns for about 10 minutes after inserting, but worth it! The 7-day stuff knocks the infection out, that's why they say to apply it at night at bedtime. The next day you will have epic relief. Do all 7 days, otherwise, it might come back."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm so used to seeing comments from like 3 years ago that when everyone kept saying bad batch, I was like, well, that doesn't make sense for why I'm feeling the same unbearable itching and burning. Then I noticed the date of the posts, all within the last few weeks. So maybe it totally is a bad batch because I would remember if it had burned and itched this much last time. I'm dying. I have been trying to distract myself, but I have no idea what happened in the episode of the TV show I watched. Then I tried to read a chapter of my book (which is my ritual before bed and usually puts me right to sleep). I have been reading the same paragraph for the last hour because I literally can't focus on the words because of the itching."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I really wish I had read the reviews first. I lasted 2 nights using this stuff (up all night screaming in agony, but I was really trying to stick it out), and the next morning I looked down, and my vagina was completely swollen and sealed closed! I could not open it whatsoever, and if I tried, the skin would just rip apart and bleed. This “medication” should not be on shelves anywhere. I have no idea how this stuff is legal, but someone needs to do something about this NOW!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I haven't used an over-the-counter medicine for a yeast infection in years. If I've ever gotten them in the past, my doctor has prescribed something, but I don't usually get them. I didn't want to make a visit to the doctor, and so I tried Monistat 7. I remember this medicine hurting like crazy years ago, but I thought I'd try it again since it's been so long. I wish I could go back in time! On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst pain-burning-itching, I was at a 10 after inserting the medicine, and I'm just now at a 7 or 8, 18 minutes later. This kills! I will not be taking the other doses, and I will make an appointment with my doctor for a pill to cure this. I don't know what to do to get rid of the intense burning."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have a mild yeast infection that I’ve been dealing with for about 3 days now. Taking a shower and simply running water on my vagina actually helped relieve the irritation. Tonight I decided to use M7, thinking it may get rid of the lingering yeast. I showered, and after about 5 minutes of applying the application, I was so annoyed at how uncomfortable I was that I decided to take another shower! The itching and irritation were 10 times worse than the little I was already dealing with. Not sure if it was because the cream was working and killing off the yeast or what, but I did not like the way it felt! So annoying!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I wanted to write a 10-star review, so hopefully people will view it. The itching stated by everyone is indeed as bad as they say! My advice is to keep still for as long as you can bear (personally, I couldn’t even do a full 10 minutes). I then rinsed it out and then applied some tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil. Tea tree oil is antiviral and antifungal and can be a perfect home remedy anyway! But the sting of the oil numbs out the severe itch from the medicine in no time. Yeast infections shouldn’t go untreated, and I’m sure if used at the first sign, Monistat would be just perfect. Don’t knock it till you try it, your body is going through something, and yeah, it might hurt a little to get rid of it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This was horrible! I had the infection for about 3 days until I could get the cream and started it tonight. I put it in, and in less than a minute felt the horrible itching and burning like everyone else. It was so bad I took it out and washed after less than five minutes. I will not be using this ever again, and I will be telling my pharmacist about this. DO NOT BUY THIS, IT IS THE WORST FEELING EVER."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "All of these reviews about the burning and itching are totally 100% true. After about 5 minutes of inserting the applicator, here comes the uncontrollable burning sensation. I mean, it was TERRIBLE. I was in tears. I laid in bed for as long as I could before I had my husband bring me a warm towel to wipe it off. But yet it continued to burn for about an hour. I finally was able to fall asleep. The next morning, I woke up with no itching or burning. I want to continue to use this product and follow through with the full treatment, but that first time was so uncomfortable I'm scared to try it again."
