Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Omg!!!! My Na Na is on fire... I almost want to take a brush to it, how bad it itches. Here I am thinking I'm going to get some relief after inserting the ovule when the itching and burning increases times 100000000... I almost began to think maybe it's more than a yeast infection but couldn't be because I haven't had sex in years. I'm burning like a Hot Cheeto. They should take this product off the market... it really sucks. Now I'm up during the middle of the night burning and writing this!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got my first yeast infection when I was 16. My mom went and bought me Monistat 7, and it worked great. I felt better within a day. About two months ago, I got the symptoms of a yeast infection, but without the discharge. Unsure of what I had, I went and bought Monistat 7 again, and it burned and itched worse than anything I've felt. I bawled my eyes out, and it didn't stop for hours. I continued to take it for 2 more nights with the same symptoms and then went to the gyno that Monday. Turns out I had a bacterial infection, and that is why it was burning so horribly. If it burns you to the point where you are in tears, GO TO THE DOCTOR! It is probably not a yeast infection!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had never had a yeast infection in my life until two days ago. I decided that I would try Monistat 1 because I wanted it gone quickly. I went to the store the morning after symptoms started, and I inserted the ovule around 11 a.m. and applied the cream. I took a nap for a couple of hours and could already feel some relief from the itching and burning. When I got up, I did feel some slight leaking, and I still felt a little discomfort, but it was nowhere near what it was earlier that day. I was getting some discharge and a little itching, but nothing major. By bedtime, the itching had gotten a little worse, so I applied more cream, took some Aleve, and crawled into bed. I got up this morning, and all itching and burning are gone. All in less than 24 hours."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do not put this thing anywhere near your vagina! All of the stuff you hear about the probiotics in the yogurt on the tampons-do that first, or go to the doctor and get the prescription for the yeast infection! I am sitting in my house so uncomfortable that I had to call off of work because I cannot leave my house because my vag itches and burns so bad. I want to go to the store and get yogurt, but I can't stop itching my crotch, so that's a problem. I am so uncomfortable, and before I put this thing in, I was fine. Before Monistat, I had mild irritation. Since I used the Monistat, I am now experiencing the worst itching and burning feeling I've ever had between my legs ever!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This product is horrible! Do not use, go to your doctor, I am not kidding! The burning and itching associated with the use of this product are unbearable! I'd rather have a YI untreated than use this again. I have had 3 YI in my 36 years and have always gone to my doctor. Almost immediately after inserting this product, I began to feel discomfort, not so bad, but as the night has gone on - this is awful. My vagina itches so badly that it's unbearable. I don't feel pain as some have reviewed, but the itching is literally insane! All I can hope is that this goes away soon. Do not use!!! You will regret!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Well, I was kind of skeptical about using the product because of some of the bad reviews. I decided to give it a try anyway, and I did not experience any of those symptoms. I inserted it last night after showering. No burning, no swelling, and barely itching. I woke up the next morning, and still no bad symptoms. Everything is coming out just fine to me. I use the off-brand kind too, by the way."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "First off, I must say, 'do not be afraid of this product!' It does burn and itch, but it's not as bad as some describe. I was able to work all day after I inserted it. When the burning got bad, I just went to the bathroom during my break times and used the cream and wipes. Any medicine at prescribed strength form inserted into you is going to hurt. We as women do so much to our bodies, and this is nothing compared to a lot of these things that are a necessity to our health!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, the Monistat 1 definitely burns a little, but to me, that just means it's working. I rate this product a 10 because every single time I've used it, my yeast infection goes away within 2 days. The product does its job. Will there be discomfort along the way? Certainly. But what's comforting to know is that after a tad bit of burning, I will be without the even more unbearable itching and undesirable discharge. Everyone is different. Our bodies are all different and respond to things in a variation of ways! I didn't get the extreme burning some experience, but that's just me. There's always going to be horror stories on the internet about any product, but don't believe everything you read. Try things out for yourself, you never know!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Here I am at 2:30 in the morning with all the burns after waking up an hour ago when it hit me. I put this egg thing in at about 10:30. Why in the world did I not read these reviews before!? Never would I have ever even thought about using this 1-day nonsense! Ughhhh. But seriously, ladies, if you’re like me now only reading these reviews after you put the fiery egg in your vagina, while you can’t sleep, I highly recommend reading these reviews... as many as you can, because I got the best laugh I didn’t know I needed while in my bed of hot and fiery death down below."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I realized how people never come back to say if the product actually worked or not. Well, I'm here to tell you it does. I used this product about a week ago and came here to write a horrible review on how irritated, sore, raw, burning, and itchy I was from it. I started feeling these side effects about 1 hour after I put the hellish egg in me. After about 2 days, the symptoms went away and fully healed my YI. I am completely back to normal. Bottom line is the product DOES work and can heal your symptoms fully within 48 hours...only if you're up for the painful side effects. Honestly, if I had the option to use this again, I probably would because it works CRAZY fast."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Listen up. I shoved some of that Monistat 1 in my downstairs hallway last night, and holy Lord Vulvamort, was that a bad idea. You'd think, well, 1 day of treatment is way better than 3 and definitely better than 7, but trust me, if you don't want your baby cave to feel as though it's been torched by Satan himself, stick to the multi-day. Then, while writhing in pain and trying to stop the devil cream from burning a new hole down there, I read the reviews. This is a common thing that happens with the Monistat 1. Don't use it."

Tioconazole topical "I’m only about 5 hours into this Monistat 1 experience, and at this point, I don’t even care if it works. Nothing is worth this burn. My poor coochie feels like what I can only imagine as the depths of hell. Hot lava-level pain. I read the entire pamphlet, and this was not a warning, and after seeing all these reviews of other women experiencing the same, it DEFINITELY should be! If you are considering buying this product, do not do it! It’s not worth the risk. I’m sitting here at 5 a.m. typing this review because the pain is keeping me awake. I have survived second-degree burns on my entire hand before, and this is nearly comparable to that, but there is literally nothing I can do about this one except wait it out. The anti-itch cream that came with it is worthless and does nothing for me. If you are reading this because you just used the product and are starting to realize something is off, Godspeed to you, sister. I wish you luck."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Worst thing I ever used in my life. DO NOT USE. I’ve always done the 3-day. Never this. Didn’t read reviews and SO wish I did. I had some white clumpy discharge and very mild itching. So wanted to just knock it out and got this. Worst mistake of my life. I had some burning, nothing too crazy, then some itching, really irritating more than even before. Then I woke up and my vagina is swollen and just blah. So horrible. And it had to be because of this. Because it was not swollen, itching, or burning prior. I’m so mad I did this. Save yourself, ladies. Please don’t use."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had a cute review to post, but Drugs.com believes in cutting to the chase, so okay. So, had a yeast infection for quite some time (about 3 weeks... yikes!), not my first one though. So on July 5th, I bought Monistat 1, busted open the lifesaver and got busy. The applicator was easy to slide in and apply. I also used the cream to ease the itching... nah. 2 hours later, I went to class and almost had a freakin' panic attack because the burning and itching intensified like none other. Oh my goodness, cool wipes were a waste, I was better off using Vagisil's anti-itch wipes... cooch was on fire! However, after all the pain, the kit worked. No more symptoms after July 8th. Would be nice to have a warning saying all this, but it was worth it to be honest."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Guys, I so wish I would’ve looked up the reviews earlier. I went the cheaper route and just got Tioconazole 1 Day because the lady at Walmart said it would work the same as Monistat. I’m having the worst burning and itching sensation ever. I googled why and found all these reviews :( Save yourself!! I know everyone is different, but if the majority of women are feeling this, don’t waste your time. Spend the extra $5."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Never again!!! Only 2nd yeast infection ever, so I thought I'd give Monistat 1 a try. Holy moly, I have never felt such intense burning, itching, and swelling. Finally took a shower to wash away what I could, then had to use an ice pack. Up all night, so painful! They need to repackage with labeling and visuals of flames shooting from the nether region!!!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Please just get the diflu one-time pill. This egg made me cry for hours, I cussed my girlfriend out while itching and burning. I felt like life would be better if I just died. It started to ease up after a few hours, but the itch never went away. Oh, and the cream that comes with it... don't even try to use that! It makes EVERYTHING worse. It only sucks because some people either don't have insurance or this life-ruining infection creeps up on the weekend when you can't go to your OB/GYN. Females should be able to get the pill from the pharmacy just as well as they can get a Plan B because these creams and eggs are a setup."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the first review I've left on anything ever because I think as girls, it's important we have each other's backs on things like this. FIRST. When you take this, be sure to have a bottle of wine ready and some serious distraction. Don't think you can just pop it in and feel better in a few hours. This thing will burn and itch like the devil himself is inside of you, BUT. You're putting something in you that's expected to treat you overnight that is really supposed to be a span of 7-10 days. That's a whole lot of chemicals in your already sensitive lady parts. So it will burn and itch like hell, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have a low pain tolerance. But if you can open a bottle of wine and clean your house, promise it works!!!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I should have read the reviews! I haven't had a yeast infection in years, but I knew what it was. Went to the pharmacy and thought, why not get the one day, super strength. WOW! What a mistake! Burning, throbbing pain, as well as swelling. Sleeping impossible. The next day, I was useless and trying to get this poison out of me in the shower. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the worst pain I have ever experienced. I can imagine only giving birth being worse. I had itching and burning that was very uncomfortable but tolerable before the Monistat 1. After the Monistat 1, the pain became so bad that I had to consciously breathe to keep myself from losing my temper. I went to the ob-gyn, and when she tested me, it hurt so bad that I actually cried... It would not have been that bad without the Monistat. She did explain that the yeast can create little cuts basically, and when you put the cream in there, it can cause burning. Just like putting alcohol on a cut... So that's the explanation for it, and it doesn't make me angry with Monistat. I'm just ready for this to be gone..."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have used Monistat 1 about a year ago and a few more times before, it worked great, relief within 24 hours. My current experience is a complete 180. The burning and itching are unbearable. I can't imagine what the makers have done differently, they need to go back to the original formula, which worked fine. I wish I had used the 3-day or just gone to the doctor. It's bedtime, but the pain is keeping me awake. I will never purchase again!!!!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I read all of these reviews and freaked out. I was so scared to try it. I remembered years ago, trying some other brand, and the second I inserted it, it burned. So I was very skeptical about this huge dose '1 day' thing, but I just bit the bullet and did it because pain for a little is better than more severe problems down the road. I took 3 ibuprofen and ate some comfort food and took a sleeping pill (so I would hopefully be asleep if there would be any pain to come) and had a heating pad on my tum. The Monistat didn't faze me at all. It's like it wasn't even there. Very minimal discharge the next day, no pain, no cramps, nothing. If I focused really hard, I could sometimes feel the tiniest sensation of burning. I'd totally recommend."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "NO. Do not take this, ladies! Unless you want burning, itching, swollen lady parts, that is. I applied this as I laid down to sleep, just like I would with Monistat 7, but immediately felt the fires of hell erupting inside and out of the last place any sane person would pick to feel it. Finally got to sleep after splashing with cold water and laying down naked from the waist down, only to feel more (less intense) burning when I woke up again at 1:15 in the morning. If it's too late for you, the best remedy seems to be a cool bath. Heaven help us all. If it's not too late for you, JUST SAY NO. This drug should NOT be on the shelves! Really, FDA??!"

I inserted the medication and realized I had more itching than before, I also noticed the burning a lot more. To make matters worse, I used the cream for the external area, and I think I made it worse!!! I was trying to save a few dollars, never again.

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, so I bought this tonight before I read reviews. I applied it, and 10 min later, I was in pain... I couldn't believe the itching and burning. I then started reading reviews, and I was like - what did I do? I was debating taking a shower and removing all cream or sticking it out while I did some research and watched Netflix. Well, after 40 min, I started to feel relief, and now it's very mild. Clearly, the medication for 1 day is way stronger, but I'm hoping that by tomorrow morning, I'll be much better. Now that the burning stopped, I can go to sleep. Ladies, good luck, and hope you feel better soon."
