For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is NOT an experience, but more so an explanation of why the burning sensation occurs. It is AND isn’t a side effect. It’s more so your body’s reaction to foreign objects in the vagina. Anything you place in the vagina is likely to cause irritation and upset the pH balance. When you take oral medication, it helps combat the yeast infection from inside the bloodstream. Yet, topical creams, ointments, or ovules are applied “outside” the body. All the products serve their purpose: to rid of the yeast infection. If you don’t like the discomfort (which I’m sure no one does), the Rx route is your best solution. Also, if you’ve never been DIAGNOSED with a yeast infection before, DO NOT use these products. Self-diagnosis of your lady problem will only further complicate the healing process. There are many vaginal infections that mimic each other. These products are a “quick fix” for those who’ve had this problem before and just want instant relief."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So... I used this because I thought I had a yeast infection. I had some itching, and my discharge looked weird, but I was afraid to go to the doctor. Worst decision I’ve made, to be honest. When I started using it, the burning wasn’t severe, but two days later it got out of control. Even the itch cream didn’t help. My labia got really irritated and swollen. It was hard to walk for like two days."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the first time I have EVER had a YI! I, like most others, thought the Monistat 1 would be great - 1 day and it’s over. Since I also start my period today, I took it and laid down for about an hour. The burning and itching slowly started increasing to an unbearable amount. The irritation is so bad it’s like a jolt to my nerves. I tried tea tree oil, coconut oil. I am currently laying in a cold bath of tea tree oil because it’s the only way I can find relief!"
