Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used this product, Monistat 7, for three days. The first night I was fine, then night two everything was on fire. The third night I couldn't go through it anymore, so I went to the ER. Everything was five times the size down there, and it was on fire - I was in so much pain. You know what I don’t understand? Why can they keep selling this stuff if there are so many girls saying this is happening to them?"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Don't do it! I inserted the Monistat last night at 9 pm and woke up at 4:30 am and 7 am with the most intense burning and itching. Sat on the toilet with a washcloth, and reading these reviews is the only thing that makes it better. Praying for you."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Monistat should be ashamed for putting this on shelves. I took it at about 10 pm and woke up at midnight feeling like someone had sprayed an entire can of pepper spray on my vagina, then lit a match. I literally googled “unbearable burning, itching, and pain after Monistat.” DO NOT USE IT. I am writing this review while laying in the shower, vagina up, trying to rinse this godforsaken stuff out of my vagina."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am no stranger to yeast infections. My grandmother made me use a suppository egg when I was about 12. Needless to say, I was a virgin so that was definitely a no-go. That was a bad experience, so I've always gotten the off-brand suppository creams because they were the cheapest and they worked great. However, tonight I tried the Monistat brand for the first time. As soon as I inserted it and laid down, it burnt like hell all while I'm trying so hard not to scratch my vagina. I immediately googled my symptoms, and here I am writing a review. The pain lasted for about a good hour, but dying laughing at most of these reviews helped me cope with the pain."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Same as many, have used Monistat for years and never had it burn like this. They must have really botched a formula change or something. I'd sign up for a class action lawsuit, this is traumatic when one is already awkwardly uncomfortable."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 30 years old and had my first yeast infection in my life. I wasn't sure what to use, so I bought the Miconazole 1200 mg. About 15 minutes after insertion, I had a terrible itching and burning, so awful I couldn't sit still. I thought I was having a reaction to it until I read everyone's comments."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "It says that it may mildly increase itching, burning, and irritation, but I swear it’s severe! I was hardly itchy before using this product, like the infection had just begun, and this made it 10 times worse! I would never use this again, I wanted to cry. I couldn’t do anything but lay down."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Night one is very intense, burning and itching immediately, makes you want to crawl out of your skin. It lasted maybe 15-20 min, then it subsided. The next morning I felt better, all the symptoms slowed down. You must wear a panty liner throughout the day. Night 2 and 3 were much better!!! Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. It works, but you must suffer a bit."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "After inserting, I did my nightly routine and went to sleep. I woke up at midnight to pee. I forgot I had the medicine in. Oh my goodness, that pee was the worst pain ever. It felt like I was peeing out lava. Wiping hurt too. I went back to bed with burning! Slight cramping. Now, I have used this product before. It's only day 1, and I can't sleep. My estimate is that it's raw inside my hooha due to the YI. That could explain the burning. Thankfully, I'm not itching as much. The pain is a solid 8.5, and I'm going to take some Advil. Hopefully, that eases the pain a bit. This time, I WILL complete the full 7 days. Good luck to me and whoever else is dealing with this!!!!!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’ve only ever used doctor-prescribed medication to get rid of a YI. I didn’t have time to go to the doctor, so I went to the drug store and got Monistat 3. I had no idea what to expect, but I inserted as directed. After a couple of minutes, the burning and itching were unbearable. I thought for sure something was wrong, so I got up and read the box. Some burning and itching can occur. It’s a nightmare. But it’s doing its job. Thank goodness for all these comments that let me know that I’m not alone. But I want my YI gone, so I will do this for the other two doses!!!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have previously used Monistat 3 before, and it worked perfectly fine for me, so I thought I would have no problem using Monistat 1 this time around. I was WRONG. Do not take the risk of buying this. I woke up to extreme burning and itching, far worse than the actual yeast infection. I wish I could go back a few hours and tell myself not to take it. Still trying to figure out how to deal with the pain."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "The first night of using Monistat 3, I had severe burning and itching right after inserting for about an hour until I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning still feeling the symptoms of my yeast infection. I was hesitant to take it the second night, but I did, and I have to say, it went in comfortably and I had no discomforts the 2nd or 3rd night. If you experience the intense burning and itching, then that means the medicine is working. It may hurt, but it gets the job done. Also, try and keep in mind that typically happy users don’t take their time to go out of their way and review things, saying how great they are; but unhappy users will most definitely find the time to post their review if they hate the product. That’s something I always keep in mind when reading reviews. I wanted to come on and share my experience so people don’t get scared away by all the horrific reviews on here lol."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Well, this is pretty much my first experience with a YI. Earlier this month, my doctor found BV and yeast under the microscope, and she gave me medicine for both. I had sex with my partner after all of my treatments and symptoms had gone, and literally, my YI came back, but it was slight burning, cottage cheese-like discharge, with no smell or no itching. So, to save me a trip, I purchased the 3-day Monistat. I took a shower, inserted the tube, and it was soothing at first. I applied the itch cream even though I didn’t have any itching. About 10 minutes later, I felt burning all over and around my vagina. It subsided maybe like 1 hour or so later, but then it started itching like crazy inside my vagina, like I wanted to itch. Now it’s calming down again. I will wait to see what my symptoms are like in the morning, but I probably won’t use this again, as it increased my YI symptoms or created symptoms that were never there in the first place."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used this product last night, and after about an hour, I was in severe discomfort. The burning was like nothing I experienced before, my skin down there was on fire, really painful. I can’t believe that a medication to treat itching and burning could be so abrasive. I eventually took OTC pain meds (ibuprofen and Tylenol) and a cold compress to get to sleep. Today is better, and the original itching is basically gone. But you really have to go through the fire to get to the relief. Hope the folks at Monistat will work on a gentler formulation that would be just as effective."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so this is my first yeast infection, and I was too embarrassed to call my doctor (which I shouldn’t have been because it’s common and okay to ask for help!!). But anyways, do NOT use any kind of Monistat product if you have sensitive skin or a low pain tolerance because it burns so much worse than the actual infection. Go talk to your doctor to see what’s the right move. I’m currently sitting on the couch with an ice pack in between my legs because I am in so much pain. I never leave reviews on anything, but I don’t want any other woman going through what I and others have gone through while using this product. I’ll be seeing my doctor real soon."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’m on the 3rd night of a 3-day Monistat cream insert. I took ibuprofen before inserting the last dose - fast forward 3 hours and I literally just woke up (* I only wake up in pain with migraines, no other pain wakes me up) with a terrible itching sensation - convinced my YI is not going away because there’s no way my burning and itching (not to mention severely irritated labia) is caused by the actual medicine. Then I found this forum of reviews and wow I really wish I had read it before trying this med. I used Vagistat 3-day months ago for a different YI with no issues. Never again Monistat! If you want to be up at 2 a.m. writing a scathing review, then feel free to use this product."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I made a whole account on here to share some advice. I'm on day 1, and everyone's right, the itching's positively unbearable. But there are some things I did that helped the itching a LOT. Do not let any of this medicine out of your body. Or if it does, cold cloth, wipe it off immediately. Once this stuff gets on your outside bits, it's a whole new kind of suffering. The internal symptoms were so insignificant in comparison for me, I didn't even notice the internal itching and burning whatsoever until after I learned to basically put a tissue over the top of my vag like a sink stopper. Just wanted to share some advice that might keep someone from ripping their labia off. It's been 7 hours. I feel amazing. The initial itching is awful, I didn't have much burning myself. But after about 2 hours after applying it, I felt normal. Like I didn't have an infection at all. Definitely not excited for the next two days, but it's so worth it."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’m currently pregnant and my OB recommended I try Monistat to help with my YI. I just tried it less than 30 minutes ago, and OMG the worst pain ever. I can’t handle the burning or itchiness, IDK which one because I am in so much pain and discomfort. This is the first night, IDK how I’m supposed to do it for another 6 nights. I will be calling my OB tomorrow to see if there is an alternative because this stuff is AWFUL!!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Have used this medication (Monistat 1) twice in the past, with no side effects. Tonight, after putting the ovule in and using the appropriate topical cream, I started to experience extreme burning sensations, 1000% worse than the yeast infection itself. It feels like the outside and inside of my vagina are on fire. If I hadn’t seen all these reviews, I would be taking myself to the hospital, as I have never experienced something like this before. This product should not be on shelves."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "FIRST! Let me just say I just wasted my $19. I went to the urgent care this week because I was unable to get a GYN appointment due to my doctor being fully booked. In the urgent care, they did all my STI tests and they all came back negative and was just given a Diflucan, which doesn't usually help. I took it upon myself to try Monistat for the first time and LET ME TELL YOU THAT THING WAS BURNING MY BITS OFF. I HAD to JUMP IN THE SHOWER WITH THE COLD WATER RUNNING!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I bought Monistat 1 and read the reviews. I was so nervous to try this, but I really didn't want to go to the hospital, so I tried it anyway. The first hour was okay, but after that, oh man, it was pretty intense. Lots of itching and burning, and I just sat really still, and then when that was too much, I laid down very still... it lasted for a couple of hours, but to be honest, it was bearable. I mean, it did burn, but the infection kind of requires that, I think, lol!!! This morning had lots of discharge but no burning or itching. I'm pretty swollen there though, but this is literally the next day. I would use this again. I really don't like how uncomfortable I was for the time I was, but I'd rather take this than go to the hospital. Our bodies are different, so don't be too thrown off by negative comments."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The email I just sent to the makers of Monistat: The itching and burning I am experiencing right now is excruciating. This is unacceptable. I have used Monistat products many times in the last 15 years, and I have never experienced anything like this torture. That I may have to go to my local emergency room to have my vagina flushed out is beyond ridiculous. I have never hated a brand as much as I hate Monistat right now. After reading a very long, very recent thread of women who have had similar reactions, I think it is grossly negligent of your company to say that 'mild' itching and burning may occur. The only justice in the world would be for every male executive and product developer in your company to develop crotch rot inside their penis and be forced to use this product. Their female counterparts need to go straight to somewhere bad for pocketing their pay while Monistat victims writhe in pain and discomfort. I hate you people and I plan to make it my mission to let every woman know how disgusting, useless, and harmful your products are. Do not send me any coupons as an 'We're sorry our product set your vagina ablaze with the venom of a billion tiny fire ants. Here is a discount for your next hot molten lava therapy kit.' Do not dare."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Don't listen to all the bad reviews on this product, people obviously don't know how treatment for a fungal infection works. The worse the pain or itching after insertion or application of cream, the worse the infection. If it's really burning and itching, it just means you have a really bad infection and the medication is attacking it. Also, using the 7-day treatment may be better for really bad infections as it will not hurt as badly, it's more of a gradual treatment as opposed to the 1 or 3-day treatment."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 8 months pregnant with a YI, and I thought it would go away on its own, but that was the biggest mistake ever! I started the Monistat 7 tonight, and the burning made me cry. I don't want the YI because the itching irritates my soul, but the burning is definitely no better."
