Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've never had a yeast infection before, but I went on antibiotics for kidney stones (side note, worst experience of my life), and for the first time ever, it severely messed up my downstairs. I keep a very clean house, my door is locked at all times, the Chamber of Secrets stays closed, so when stuff hits the fan, it gets ugly. After several days of burning, itching, pain, I finally followed my mother's advice to get the 3-day Monistat syringes. I had used Vagisil previously, and even that burned, but it went away eventually. So when this started burning and itching after I used it, it was almost expected. I thought, oh okay, it'll go away. Nope. Nope. Nope. NOPE. My downstairs has become deeper downstairs. It is the worst. It is a lava pit. It is the depths of the hottest lava pit in existence. But with a colony of fire ants living in it. I don't even care if this works to fix my yeast infection, there's not a chance that I'm using this ever again."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "After reading the label, I found that it says the burning and itching will increase even more so than what you have already been experiencing. This product is VERY strong, and I’ve found the worse your YI is, or the more prolonged amount of time it took you to treat it, the worse the side effects will be. I tried to tough it out for about 45 minutes before I couldn’t stand the pain anymore and rinsed as much as I could out. Within another 45 minutes, I was starting to feel a little better. It was awful. I’m on day 2, this time I’m in the same position, laying on my back, legs up, but instead of inserting the full amount at once, I’m slowly releasing the product in a little at a time. Like I’m talking a slight push on the syringe every 5 minutes or so. It seems to be helping, still a little irritating, but NOTHING compared to day 1. Good luck, ladies."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Two words: fire crotch. I've used this two or three times in the past and never had an issue. Tried to use it tonight and thought I was going to pee myself; it hurt so bad. It felt like I'd just stuck a jalapeño up there rather than some yeast infection cream. Don't buy this, don't use this, and if you already did (which is probably why you're here), I'm sorry; we're all miserable too."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT BUY!!! I’ve used this product for YEARS with much success - until last night! I had a mild YI (slight itch at night, thick white discharge, discomfort after peeing). I’ve obviously had a few YIs before, so I knew this was the start. I figured I would just buy the 1-day treatment and clear it up easy peasy. WRONG. They must have changed their formula because what I felt inside and out of my vagina was like fire. I inserted the cream about 11:30 last night, and less than a minute later, I felt what could have been someone dumping acid in my vagina. I’m talking the heat of flames. I used a towel to wipe excess off and ended up just counting numbers in my head to take my mind off the pain and eventually fell asleep. Thank God. This morning, I wake up, and while I’m not itching or have discomfort when I pee, the top outside of my vulva is ON FIRE!!! So here I am, writing a review as I have a cold water bottle and a fan blowing on my lady bits."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "For the price of $11.50, you too can burn your insides off. Seriously, it’s like they took the wrath of a hundred angry hornets and put it in a cream. I have NEVER felt pain like that. And I have endometriosis, so I know vag and uterus pain. Just use Vagisil. On a side note, I did not know it was possible for my labia to swell like that. Truly an impressive feat."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used Monistat 7 for the first time recently. While it does a good job of getting rid of the yeast infection, it felt like my hoo-ha was a volcano. It was a lot of pain, but it did clear up the yeast infection."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok everyone, I have frequent yeast infections, and I use Monistat 7 on a regular basis, and I get very bad yeast infections! If you insert and are okay for about 3 minutes, then it burns or itches for the first hour it is working!! It is painful, but it is curing it, trust me! Now, if it's a really bad yeast infection, you may need Diflucan! Also, another tip, ladies, use a nice cold water bottle in between your legs on your vagina and let it do its magic, it works and helps the itching, I promise. Also, eat lots of foods with probiotics!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have never in my entire life experienced such pain, and I'm a mother of four! I put the vagina assassin in about an hour ago, and I'm pretty sure this is to motivate you to kill yourself. I called my mother and set up my funeral and will. This needs to be taken off the shelves!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Listen!!! It’s 11:56 pm and I just went in the tub to wash out the Monistat 3 medicine! Day 1 was painful but bearable pain. Felt extreme itching and burning inside my vagina, and the discomfort was better without the treatment. Day two was similar, but I felt the infection going away by then. Day three, I felt I didn’t need the treatment, but I wanted to finish it off... Now I’m on here typing, giving my review!!! And I’m here laying in pain because it’s causing itching in my vagina that I never had!!! It feels like imbedded worms or fleshy parasites."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I decided to go with the Monistat 1 because I didn’t want to do a 3 or 7-day treatment. It’s 8:13 am, and I'm lying in bed crying in severe pain, itching like crazy and sleepy because my meds (unrelated to a YI) have been wanting to knock me out for hours ago. But I can’t sleep!! This is the worst vaginal pain I’ve had, and I’ve birthed 3 children. I can’t stop squirming either, this is way worse than the freaking yeast infection. I’m going to have to get an ice pack to soothe my vagina, horrible treatment. I wish they offered a pill OTC that could cure a simple YI because this is ridiculous, pure torture is what it is."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Basically, I can't decide whether I hate myself more for not reading these reviews before I inserted the devil's tears of laughter into the most sensitive part of my body... or because I am currently in a fetal position in tears and extremely nauseous because of the pain, and I haven't called 911 yet. I have a very high pain tolerance, and I have tattoos covering the most sensitive parts of my body, but nothing has ever felt like this. My stomach is convulsing, and I have to keep reminding myself to breathe. I would rather give birth to 34 children the size of small livestock. (IF this is even a possibility after this bloody thing kills everything living inside of me.) What's good, Monistat? Where you at?"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used the Monistat 1 combo pack! Wish I had researched this before using. BIG MISTAKE! I inserted and within a few mins I am itching and burning so bad I want to rip everything out! I feel like I have to pee, but I know I don’t. I’ve been laying here rolling and fidgeting, played 100 games of solitaire, and my husband keeps asking me why I’m so fidgety. Told him my hoo-ha is on fire. I told him apparently it is normal! He is wondering why we would do this to ourselves! I told him if we knew it was gonna do this, we would have never used it! I’m going crazy!!! The pain is probably 2/10 compared to birthing 3 children. The irritation of it and me feeling like I’m gonna seriously rip it off is a 10/10. The effectiveness is -10 as it made everything 10 times worse, and I’m still going to end up going to the doctor."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Well, I just got out of the shower at 3:30 AM when I have to be up for my day in 3.5 hours. My vagina feels like someone lit a match and shoved it up my vagina where it didn't burn out, and at the same time, someone is roasting my vulva with a lighter like a marshmallow. My vagina hurt less directly after giving birth. I'd rather have a yeast infection for the rest of my life than ever try this product again. If you came to the reviews trying to figure out how to stop the pain, just lay down in the bath and let the water rinse everything off... it doesn't stop the pain completely, but it lowers it enough where I finally stopped crying."

I have to work in the morning. The medicine is so much worse than the actual yeast infection. What can I do? By reading this, she found comfort, she wasn't the only one. Hope you ladies' vaginas are doing better!!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "On Monday, I was hit by a car. I got a concussion. I didn't cry. On Wednesday, I got Monistat to treat my yeast infection. The itching and burning were so incredibly intense, I panicked, cried, and rinsed as much of it out as I could. I would rather get hit by the car again than continue to use Monistat. Please, please, PLEASE, if you have any other options, DO NOT use Monistat. Also, did you know you can get one (1) fluconazole pill for $4, and it will get rid of your yeast infection??? You have to get a prescription, but if your insurance covers a hospital visit, it's so, so, so much better than anything Monistat has to offer. Please don't use Monistat if you can avoid it. Full disclosure, I have no idea whether or not Monistat would have gotten rid of my yeast infection because I couldn't stand the pain long enough to find out!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Please God, DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR VAGINA!!!! I should have read the reviews, but I’ve used this in the past and didn’t have the same reaction. I’m literally in the fetal position, crying and grabbing my vagina! I put this in about 30 minutes ago, and immediately after, I was bent over in pain. The burning and itching is literally like 30 times worse than the actual pain I was feeling from the infection. I called my doctor and an advice nurse and will be going in first thing in the morning. The only solace I have is reading everyone else’s experiences, so at least I know I’m not dying. I honestly thought I would have to go to the emergency room. Again, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON’T USE THIS. It’s like some woman-hating psychopath put some torturous ingredient in this to systematically inflict pain on unsuspecting women. I hate you, Monistat, how dare you do this to all of us!!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT BUY!! It was my first time getting a YI. I went online to see if I could find a product that would help me, and I decided to go with Monistat 3. BIG MISTAKE! Day 1 wasn’t so bad, I had trouble sleeping. The burning and itching was mildly intense. I took it like a champ. Now, on day 2, I applied the product around 10:30 pm. It’s now 1:30 am, and I cannot sleep for anything. My coochie meow meow is on fire. It is burning and itching so intensely. I’m bouncing off the walls! My kitty is about to fall off me. It feels like I put 10 ghost peppers, 10 bottles of Tapatio, and 300 jalapeños up there!! It is literally the opening of a volcano!!! I cannot stand the pain. I have work tomorrow, and I'm honestly considering going to the urgent care! I wish I would have read these comments sooner, it would have saved me from this pain. I am SUFFERING. THE WORST PAIN I'VE EVER BEEN IN!!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This stuff burns like crazy. But it helps. My yeast infection was horrible, the itching was unbearable. I’ve used Monistat before, and the first time there was only mild burning and itching after inserting the cream. I think they must’ve changed the formula because this time it was like being lit on fire. My entire vagina feels like it is engulfed in flames, and I cannot control the spasms of my body as I claw the bed hoping for some relief. I’m on my third night of the 3-day Monistat. The first time did not burn like this. Each day the burning intensity got worse after insertion, but I believe that it’s helping. The second day the symptoms of my yeast infection were way less noticeable, and I’m hoping tomorrow it’ll feel even better. The pain lasted about 30 minutes. If you can tough it out, it can provide relief later on. Squeeze a pillow between your legs. Grind your hips if you need to, that’s what I’ve found helped a lot to manage the pain. Once it stops, you don’t even feel it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is absolutely horrible!!! First of all, it is 3 in the morning, and I am still awake, in the bathroom, squirming and nearly crying from the itching and pain. This is by far one thousand times worse than the actual infection (which I'm pretty sure was almost gone!!!!). I must have done something horrible to deserve this, because it feels like someone is pouring acid down my cooter. If I move, it gets worse. I am in hell. Vagina hell. All of that abstinence stuff is starting to make sense now because I had sex, and now I feel like I'm dying."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had to look up whether this was supposed to burn and sting my vagina as bad as it does. I almost cried from the pain, which was delayed because I laid down and apparently the cream didn’t migrate where the infection was yet. But after laughing at all of these reviews, I’m happy to know I’m not alone. Seriously though, it better work at the end of this."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Holy Moly. I'm on day 3 of Monistat 7. The first two days, I was in agony when I applied the cream. Today hurt, but not as bad. I didn't have to jump up and down, yowling like a drowned cat tonight! Score. Still painful though. The burning and itching during the day I noticed is practically gone. I will finish the 7 days because I believe it's working. I stumbled onto this site, making sure the pain was normal. I am SO GLAD I didn't get the 3 or 1 day because I probably would have gone to the ER."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "First, I never write reviews, but that awful thing y'all put in a pack and call it Monistat 1 is the meanest. So I tried the Monistat 1, and for the first hour, I was good, I could actually see light at the end of the tunnel. But after that hour is when it all went wrong! The pain is unbearable, there’s no way you can sleep or do anything but lay in your bed or take cold baths. The pain is so bad I know I cried for Jesus a few times. For some reason, every time I hollered, 'Help me, Lord, please,' I’d feel better for a second. I don’t recommend anyone to take this product unless you love pain and want to lose sleep and be calling on the Lord all night, then go for it. PSA to anybody that said it worked for me and it was gone the next day - that was a lie from the pit of lava - it didn't even work."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Lacking in health insurance at the moment, I thought getting Monistat would be a cheaper option for my yeast infection. Now, as I sit here in agonizing pain, I would have gladly sold my firstborn to avoid the itching and pain that are the side effects of Monistat. It feels like there is a raccoon deep inside of my vagina scratching to get out. I am at a loss on what to do. I have used Monistat before, and it wasn’t this bad. Is it possible that it’s because I bought the cream instead of the ovule this time? I wouldn’t be surprised if a man created this cream specifically to spite women. Somebody please send help."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, ladies, you’ve come here in search of why your coochie feels like it caught on fire and got put out with a fork. This awful cream's itch and pain will only intensify the more you scratch. Scratching makes small tears and will make your coochie even more mad. To help with the itching and burning, run a warm bath, hop in there to soothe it. Lightly wash the outer area with just water. After, you can purchase cooling wipes and use those as needed. But whatever you do, refrain from scratching down there. It will only intensify that ever-lasting flame in your vagina."
