For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I don't recommend this medicine to anyone unless you enjoy horrible itching, burning, pain, discomfort, and irritation. I used it about an hour ago, lay down... starting feeling the itching and burning right away, ran to the bathroom and tried flushing the medicine out. Ouch! Horrible. Do not buy!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "On day 3 of Monistat 3... tonight is no different than the others... miserable with itching and pain... all I can do is clench my teeth, writhe in discomfort, and cuss... absolutely terrible. I have had yeast infections often since I was 14. I’ve never experienced a treatment so painful, you would think by now there would be some kind of painkiller in the formula. There has to be a better way. And I agree, the applicator is still so uncomfortable. If there are tampons that are comfortable and creams that soothe itch and pain, there could be treatments that offer the same. Especially for the price."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So, a friend referred me to Monistat 3 cream. This is my second day, and I want to pull my hair out from the pain and irritation. OMG, I wish I had read the reviews first. I took it at 9, it’s almost 11, and I’m still in pain. I’m trying to stick it out, hopeful that it works, but now I need something for pain."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I also think the formula has changed. Used before, but this time woke up in the middle of the night in horrible pain from burning and itching. I had a mild yeast infection. I have a high pain tolerance, but this has been a nightmare. Won’t use again."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is not a drill, listen to the other reviewers. This product is awful. I literally felt like my crotch was on fire. I was in tears, it was so bad. I have never done a review of any product, but this experience was so painful that I had to."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I wish I read the reviews before applying because I would have never applied it. It is painful and burning, and I don't understand how it's allowed on shelves. Please never buy this. There's a 50% chance you will feel this hot Cheeto inflammation instead of relief."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT BUY!! The most pain I have been in since my nose surgery!! I have been awake, crying and freaking out for the past 3 hours. I got the Equate version of the 1-use Monistat. NEVER AGAIN, NOT TO SAVE MY LIFE!! I would rather have a yeast infection x50! Not worth the pain. GO TO YOUR DOCTOR, PAY THE $35 copay, AND GET DIFLUCAN, IT'S WORTH THE MONEY, I PROMISE!! THIS IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE AND MISERABLE I HAVE BEEN!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Putting this in my vagina is a regret right up there among staying with my cheating ex-boyfriend and breaking my toe that one time. Literally cannot remember a time I was in such pain and discomfort. Seriously irritated right now and wishing more than anything I had read all these reviews first. Guess that's what you get for trusting the pharmaceutical industry. Definitely going to Planned Parenthood tomorrow to get the pill medication. Tossing this pronto and then throwing some shade at my mother for not warning me that it would turn my vagina into a fire-breathing dragon."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "After using the 7-Day Monistat cream, it caused blisters in my vagina and around my vagina. The worst pain I've ever felt in my life. They must have changed ingredients or cut out an ingredient in the Monistat 7 because, years ago, I never experienced anything like this in my life until the other day. Now it hurts to wee, and I can forget about having sex. I would never recommend this to anyone. This is the worst, god-awful pain I've ever felt in my life. Thanks, Monistat, for this. If I had the money for an attorney, you could bet your ass I would have sued the Monistat company. Now I'm going to have to go to the hospital. Not only is it painful, it's embarrassing. No woman should ever have to go through this much pain after using a product that claims it treats yeast infections - it should say it causes blisters."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This product burned my insides like crazy. I am very much in pain thanks to it and extremely disappointed. It is almost impossible to wash out. I tried using only part of the dosage, and my reaction was still a scorching pain."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had my first yeast infection, which seemed to be getting better, but I was still itching a lot. My friend recommended this product, so I gave it a chance. Not even five minutes after inserting the cream, it burned and itched 10x worse than the yeast infection itself. Nothing would relieve the pain, and it seemed to be mostly hurting inside. I cried because the pain was so intense, and I didn't get any sleep. I am now raw, red, and worse than before. Getting in the bath seemed to temporarily relieve it, but overall, this was the worst pain ever, and I would without a doubt NEVER want to use this again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG! I just inserted my Monistat 3-day treatment. It hurts so bad, burning and itching like I have never felt in my life! I'm literally rolling, turning, and holding myself in intense pain. The itching and burning are just now starting to calm a little as I lay here clenching my thighs together. I cannot believe something that is supposed to relieve the pain of a yeast infection hurts this bad! I am going to try to ride this out and fall asleep so I will have this yeast infection gone. But I'm scared about using this again tomorrow."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This was a horrible experience. I had a pretty bad YI and was itching and burning. Thought I'd go ahead and get the one dose to knock it out. I thought I was itching and burning before using this medication. After I put it in, I applied some of the vaginal cream, and it felt like lava was burning my crotch. I quickly grabbed the enclosed wipes and washed it off, thank goodness for those little blessings. I think someone on the marketing team had a sense of humor. Those little gems were the only thing in the $20 box worth anything at all. I ended up laying down for an hour waiting to see what would happen. As time passed, the burning and pain progressed where I was about in tears, so I went and sat in the bath to rinse it out. So, I'm now a little over 2 hours out from my application, and it's throbbing and still burning a little. Please don't subject yourself to this stuff. It's literally the worst thing I've ever purchased."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Oh my god. Never have I felt pain like this. My body twitched from the pain. Honestly, I need to save others from buying this. Please save yourself. Do not buy this product. It's worse than the yeast infection. Horrible. Horrible!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Oh my God. I wish. I prayed to God I would have read these comments before I used this stuff. I’ve never written a review, but I had to. Please, if you see this before you take it, rethink everything... I am 8 months pregnant. Had to take antibiotics for a severe sinus infection. Then this happened - my first yeast infection. I know I’m a strong woman, and this stuff had me crying. I was pacing around the room in tears because of the amount of immense pain I was, and still am, in. I’m on vacation for my fiancé’s brother's wedding, and my doctor called me in the prescription, but I’m allergic to the category it falls into so I took this. I don’t know what to do. I will not be able to endure this pain again, and I seriously can’t use another day of it. I’m throbbing down there, swollen, and it burns. I’m laying in bed crying. Please listen to me and the other comments."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I finished an antibiotic and normally will get a yeast infection. I used Monistat 3 for the yeast infection last night. Within 5 to 10 minutes, I was burning like I was on fire. I was up all night with no relief. By morning, it finally stopped burning and felt somewhat better. I made the mistake of using the Monistat 3 again tonight, thinking that I was better. The same thing happened again, and I find myself again in excruciating burning. I got in the bathtub and was able to finally get some slight relief. I also took some children's Benadryl and hope it will help. I am still in pain as I write this review and hopefully it will stop burning soon. I will never, ever use this product again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm sure you have read plenty of reviews about this product by now and hopefully you're not like me and decide to try it anyway. Please don't. Spare you and your vagina the agony and the excruciating pain. This is the worst sensation I've ever felt! It feels like my insides were scraped with a fine cheese grater, then acid was poured in there, and fire ants are biting me! I am shaking and have goosebumps from the pain. To all the other women who have taken this or will take it, you are a strong vagina warrior. It burns, it itches, and I hope I survive the other doses."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Miconazole, also used in Monistat, yes, is one of the worse feeling creams for a yeast infection. I & several others have switched to another cream called Clotrimazole instead. It is literally the opposite. It has NO BURNING or tingling. I don't know how people stand Miconazole or Monistat. It's like putting yourself through all that pain. NOW PLEASE UNDERSTAND, this medicine may take 2 doses, where Monistat may take 1 use. This means if you use Monistat 3, then you would need to buy two of the Clotrimazole 3 to do the job typically. If you buy the 1-day, then you would need to buy two 1-day boxes of this. It's milder, so it takes a little longer, BUT... THERE IS NO PAIN! So I say give me pain-free results. I'll take more days."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "People here are not lying. I got a YI and thought, no big deal, as I’ve used all lengths before (1 day, 3 day, 7 day) without problems. Not this time! The instant burning and itching drives one to insanity. I wish I could scratch myself from the inside out. Now I am sore and upset. I called my doctor and am going in today. Do that instead! Do not use this. All the people who are saying they felt nothing are the luckiest women I know!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So, got an antibiotic for something else. Then I got a YI, so decided I would try the Monistat 1. Let me tell you this is easily the worst choice I have ever made. I am in so much pain, the burning is nothing like I have ever experienced. Currently crying because I cannot get this pain to go away! Please contact your doctor about another option, I do not want anyone to go through this!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm on my second night of the 7-day treatment Monistat. Last night after I used it, the pain and itching were unbearable. Tonight, however, I took 2 Advil and Azo for yeast infection (it relieves itching and burning) 30 minutes before inserting the Monistat, and I am completely fine! There is a tiny increase in my itching and burning, but nothing like it was on the first night! I think the key may be knowing that the burn and itching are coming and to take steps before taking the Monistat to prevent it. I hope this helps!"

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Right after insertion, I thought, 'Here comes relief.' Then the burn hit. I'm lying on the floor trying to ride this out, but it is painful beyond burning. I feel like I have acid up there. I don't do reviews, but this product needs to be discontinued and every package remaining burned so no one goes through this."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Dear vagina... I am so terribly sorry. It must have been a man who came up with this product because there is no way a woman would create something so evil. Reading the reviews was probably a really bad idea, but it was reassuring that a trip to the ER wasn't necessary. Okay, maybe I'm being a tad dramatic, but the only way I would ever use this product again is if I was in a coma and could not feel pain. Never again! Call your doc for a prescription."

Miconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG... This girl is on fire!!! My lady bits feel like a raging fire pit is brewing down there. Who invented this??? While I appreciate the less mess and one-day option this provides, I can say I may never be able to use my vagina again. I, like many of you, was hoping for the short-term wonder and haven't used this product before. When there is a next time, I will be seeing any doctor to get me the pill - I don't care if they want to check it all out before they prescribe. I have a higher tolerance for pain, and currently, my bits are being iced and my eyes are filled with tears. In for a long night... we shall wait and see if it is worth it. Hopefully, this pain is the yeast infection burning a slow fiery death. Good luck, ladies, and may the odds be in your favor!"
