For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am currently on antibiotics for a respiratory infection and I felt the YI coming. I purchased Monistat 1 pre-filled ointment and used it early on so I didn't have any discomfort, raw skin, or itching before use. I used the application after my shower and before bed. I woke up with an insanely inflamed vag, I could barely walk. Reading these reviews, a lot of people aren't saying that once the medicine is taken, the yeast will begin to spew out of the vag, which explains why I woke up and my undies were nearly soaked (yuck, I know), causing the irritation, raw itchy and inflamed skin. Besides all that, I noticed the swelling, burning, and discharge subsided all that day. This medicine actually works really well, you just have to keep clean and dry to rid symptoms."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used this product once before and was fine. Took care of the infection with almost no burning at all. A few months later, I got another yeast infection, so naturally, I bought what worked before. Just help me. What ensued was a trip I wish I had never embarked on. I inserted the pill a few hours before bedtime and felt no pain or burning. Upon sitting down to pee after an hour of having the ovule in, I noticed a ton of discharge had appeared from the “less mess ovule.” I cleaned myself up and continued on getting ready for bed. I sat down and THE BURNING AND ITCHING BEGAN. I couldn’t sit still. IT HAS NOT STOPPED FOR THE LAST HOUR. I have tried washing it off and attempting to scoop some out. I read the reviews and ignored. HEED THE PROPHECY !!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I bought Monistat 1 when my yeast infection started getting pretty bad, around day 3. I was swollen, and I couldn't even sit comfortably because of the pain I was in. After I had already inserted the medicine, a lot on here said how horrible the product was and how painful it was. Well, I realized all I was having was mild burning, nothing too extreme, and I went about my day. By night, I was pretty sore down there, but I had no itch anymore, so I felt good enough to go to bed. Now this morning, I feel back to normal, thank goodness. Still having discharge from the medicine coming out, but other than that, I feel good, and I would definitely use this product again in the future."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have been with symptoms of a YI for 3 days now, so today I decided to go get something to relieve my pain since my doctor is not available. I found this medicine, and I tried it around 1:00 pm. It is a little uncomfortable to insert, but minimal, and being my first time trying it, I didn't know what to expect. Around 5, it started to burn. Everyone's pain resistance is different, it is uncomfortable, and it does burn. You do release discharge, but keep dry and clean. I think I rather take this pain than what I was feeling before. It feels like you're being pumped down there and swollen, but not to the point of not being able to take the pain. I keep in mind tomorrow it will be all worth it. So far, great medicine, itching is gone already, and it's 11:30 pm."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so I had a really bad yeast infection. My period brought it on. I was drinking a ton of beer on vacation and decided I would treat my infection when I got home. My yeast infection got so bad. I used Monistat Maximum Strength before bed on Sunday. I had extreme itching and burning. The intense itching continued for three days, Thursday. I finally had enough and called my doctor, scheduled an appointment for Monday, and bought, Thursday morning, Monistat pre-filled applicator. It dripped out of me all day long. I had pink discharge, which turned into a yellow color. However, by Thursday night, I had no more itching or burning, just swelling. Today, Friday, I have no symptoms."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am 27 years old, never had a yeast infection before. I had mild itching and some discharge, and it was worse at the front. I got a cream, and all was well... then looking at the cream, I noticed it's not an antifungal, so I went back and got the egg insert 1-day treatment, and right before bed last night, I put it in, then went to sleep. I am legit a pretty tough cookie. The insert turned all my symptoms up 2 notches: itch, discharge, and now I have a warmth or mild burn to my entrance. I didn't actually itch myself until after the insert. I couldn't take it. Well, it's the next morning, still got a warmth to my entrance, but nothing like described above."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Was on antibiotic for respiratory infection last week. Doc warned it may cause yeast infection. Ate yogurt, took probiotic, and a homeopathic yeast infection medication to help. Got a yeast infection a few days later. I've used 3-day and 7-day before, but thought I'd give the 1-day a try. Woke up yesterday, and I felt a warm, burning sensation. Went pee, and it stung a little. Wiped a little blood and discharge. Things stayed the same during the day. Woke up this morning with the same warm burn. Went pee, and it STUNG! When I wiped, it had a decent amount of blood, and it hurt like nothing I've ever felt down there before! Looked in a mirror, and it looked swollen, and there were burns and/or cuts that had some blood. I'm afraid to pee now! Nurse said 1-day has burned some women. Awful! Don't use!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Had the very beginnings of a yeast infection on Thursday. Did the 1-day. Today is Saturday, and I have to go buy the 3-day because my itching has become worse. Super itchy, and the discharge is ridiculous. What a waste of $20... my suggestion: just go with the 3-day."
