For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have had yeast infections quite a few times! I have always used Monistat 1. The first time I used it, I freaked out my whole family, I was screaming and crying, telling them to 'Make it stop!' And I've used it a couple of times since then, and it has been completely fine with no burning. I'm using it tonight and feel like I'm dying again! It always works and clears it up, but be prepared for the worst pain for a few hours!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had a yeast infection for about 3 days last week. I knew I needed to do something. I purchased the 1-day treatment with the day and nighttime option. I inserted the medication on my lunch at work without using the cream or wipes. I then started reading reviews which freaked me out, and I got so scared. Nothing happened for a few hours, then there was a slight burning sensation. Nothing horrible. Some of the medication came out on the pad I was wearing, and the uncomfortableness lasted the rest of the night. I woke up fine, and the yeast infection was gone. Worked for me, and will use this again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I will never touch this stuff again. The burning and itching side effects are worse than the infection itself, it is absolutely unbearable. The cooling wipes are the best part-to wipe off this horrible medication."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Omg.... the pain!!!!! I was put on antibiotics for pneumonia and bronchitis and ended up with a YI... so I got the one-day treatment, got $24. At 8:30 pm, I popped it in, by 9:53 pm, I was in so much pain, it burned so bad and still is burning. It's now 11:33 pm, it burns so bad I'm in tears, bawling... and I am contemplating removing my shower head from the hose to flush it out. I am in tears and afraid to move. With the slightest shift, I feel like I am relighting the torch inside me. Do not do this treatment.... and these people who say they hardly feel a thing.... yeah, they have vaginas cloned from Superman DNA... I would rather do natural, no pain meds, childbirth again before doing this treatment again!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG, my vagina is on fire!!!!! I just put the 1-Day Maximum Strength Treatment Miconazole on. I am really regretting putting it on. I can't sleep, it burns so bad. I was reading some of the reviews, and people seem to suggest that the cream is what makes it worse, but I don't know. I just went to the bathroom to wipe it off with the cooling wipes, and that stuff burns so bad. I just finished putting on A&D ointment. I really hope that helps. But as of right now, I am dying!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I love this medication. I never have a problem. It burns slightly because it's killing the fungus and yeast. Please be mindful how you clean your vagina. No soap is required to clean the inside of your vagina, just the creases and folds with a mild soap. I use Olay. Your vagina is already irritated and swollen, especially if you were having sex. Vaseline helps soothe the irritated vagina."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I haven't had a YI in years, but my diet is off, stress levels are up with my new job, house, etc. So I concluded I had a mild yeast infection, which I caught immediately because I am a keen listener to my body. I say that because there was some discomfort. Anyway, I took Monistat 1 extra strength. There was an increase in my discomfort with slight burning, but no itching at all. I purchased yogurt and drank water. I went to sleep. The next day, I was relieved. Honestly, it worked for me. No burning, swelling, or itching, praise Yah! If I had read the reviews, I may not have bought this product. I'm sorry about the experience of others. However, I would use this product again. I hated to spend $22, but in the end, the relief was worth it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have used Monistat 1 many times, and it's worked fantastically! I used it today at 3:45, and by 6:30, I was on FIRE! By 8:00, I swear battery acid would have felt better than this burning that I was experiencing. I have a very high pain tolerance. And this burning, stinging, chemical burning I was feeling is far beyond any pain tolerable level. I was sweating, shaking, light-headed, and had goosebumps. I was in so much pain, not to mention I was also bleeding from this. I have used this product in the past and have had no issues. In fact, it worked great. But this time... I will NEVER EVER use it again. It's 12am now, and the pain experience had subsided maybe a notch. It's going to be a long night..."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Holy mother. Dying right now. I had moderate swelling and itching from the YI, placed this in at nighttime. The next time I had a bowel movement, the evil egg started to ooze out. My vagina has swollen AT LEAST twice its size. I feel like I'm being chemically burned. Goopy, which is fine - who cares... but the BURN AND THE SWELLING. I feel like this is worse than my YI. I just finished rocking back and forth naked, on all fours, on my bathroom floor. Prepare yourselves, ladies."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "ALERT: will light your vag on fire. I stupidly inserted just before an amazing date night with my man. I ended up considering medevac-ing myself to the nearest IVU (Intensive Vag Unit). Still burning the next day. I want to punch myself in the face. Horrible, horrible, torturous product. Must have been created by a misogynist."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Worst idea I ever had! I bought this to treat my yeast infection instead of seeing the doc. It didn't only not work, it made everything hurt and burn 100x worse! I inserted the medication before going to bed and woke up about an hour after with the worst burning sensation I have ever experienced. It was a mix of intense itching and burning so strong I had a hard time breathing through it. The pill had dissolved and had started leaking out. I used the washroom and it was more pain on top of the pain I was already experiencing. It has been two days and the burning sensation is still there, and it hurts so bad to pee. Everything feels chapped down there and will have to visit the doc anyway. Do yourself a favor and just go to the doctor!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "To whom it may concern, DO NOT USE MONISTAT. This product says side effects may include 'mild increase in burning or stinging.' That is an absolute lie, this product made my symptoms SEVERELY WORSE. It made me feel pain go from a 1 to a 10 in a matter of minutes. This product made me feel absolutely awful, and whoever came up with the product should use it themselves to see how painful it is. This product made my symptoms so much worse, and the burning and itching of the cream will not go away. Why is this product still allowed to be sold if a very limited amount of people are being given relief? Poor people buy this product to seek help and to find relief, but it just makes things 100 times worse. Absolutely horrible, and someone needs to do something about getting this product off of the market. I am still trying to seek relief for the burning this product has given me."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I purchased Monistat 1 day, max strength. Came with ovule + applicator, cream, and cooling wipes. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky ones who didn't read the reviews before using. Every 1-star review is accurate-hellish burning, extreme discomfort, feels like Satan has taken residence on your vagina, etc. It wasn't until I removed about half of the cream that I felt a little better. The cream seems to make the sensation worse. The only thing that worked on the package are the cooling wipes. Sad. Not even sure if in the end, my YI will be treated."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’ve read the reviews, and I have used this product before. Now, to clarify, I am a pretty impatient person, so I decided to use the Monistat 1. I’ve had the burning and itchiness, but I also realize that this, compared to the three or seven, is more concentrated. It sucks that it will cause that burning, but after clearing away the initial discharge, there was only a burning, and the itching was at a minimum. Just be aware that this is more concentrated, so there will be a stronger reaction. If you can handle the strength, you’ll be fine, if not, I would use the 7-day or go talk to your gynecologist."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've used Monistat 7 and 3 before. Never had any intense pain or swelling after applying them. But really, who has time for that, especially when there is a fancy 1-day application? Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don't get me wrong, it works, you'll just be battling the fires of hell in your vagina most of the day. I used the 1-day last night, and all was good. I went to bed and slept for 5 peaceful hours. The pain actually woke me up: intense burning and really swollen. Took a bath and felt a little better. About 1 hour later, intense pain and the little bottle of devil's cream they give you sucks. I researched home remedies for burning and found that applying yogurt helps. Desperate and in agony, I found myself spooning yogurt on my lady parts. It did bring relief, but only for a bit. Swollen and burning, I decided to try ice. Get a bowl of ice and find somewhere to lay down and relax, you are going to need to be relaxed for this. I gradually iced it. At first, the only thing I could do was remind myself to breathe. Honestly, it sucks, but it feels really good when you go numb. It was absolutely worth the first 5 minutes. I noticed my swelling go down and my pain eased significantly. Monistat 1 is very effective, but it depends if you want a fire vagina for part of the day. I'm still torn if I'll ever use it again. It did make me feel much better, but there are a couple of hours of intense pain after applying."

So you can't say it's bad to use because every woman's body is different. :) I used it, and it worked wonderfully on me. Just keep in mind, ladies, our bodies are ALL different :)"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm about two hours in, and so far, so good. I don’t think the over-the-counter products are for the women who have severe yeast infections, only for mild cases. You should see a doctor if you’ve had a yeast infection for a while. And always catch the infections while they're mild, don’t give it a chance to grow, or of course, the ointment is gonna give you pure burning. For severe cases, oral medicine would be best."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This time it was worse with red, painful, tender labia, intense itching, and a small amount of discharge. That gave me the green light to go to urgent care and get the pill. But I didn't want to wait at the doctor's office and waste away the day. I Googled Monistat, and this one had the best reviews (in stars). I waited until it was time to go to bed so that I would be laying flat. I checked reviews again to see how long the healing would take, and I saw reports of burning. I freaked and waited for the agony. But it never happened. No burning. No pain at all. I felt better the next day! I think maybe some women had really bad cases that caused the burning. It worked great for me!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG! Only the 2nd YI I have ever had & thought I would try this instead of going to the doctor. DO NOT buy this product. After 20 minutes, I swear there are flames shooting out of my lady parts. Nothing seems to help the burning. I applied a cold washcloth, sat in front of a fan, it feels like I applied Ben-Gay to my business. My YI is worse since using this product."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took Plan B last week, and Plan B is known for throwing your pH balance off, so I caught a yeast infection. My vagina felt very raw, and I kept a cold towel down there to numb the pain. I took Monistat 1 because that's what the CVS pharmacist prescribed. This YI was so unbearable, and what made it worse is I'm on my period. I inserted the egg and put the cream everywhere. I barely want to walk, talk, eat, or do anything. My vagina is so sad right now, it burns, it itches. I just need relief from this uncomfortable pain."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so I came to this page after applying the medicine at night and burning for the next 15 hours. I wanted to see how it worked for everyone else, and most of them had the same reaction. Although it was very uncomfortable, I have to admit it worked! The 1st night and day after was the worst, but after day 2, I noticed my symptoms from the YI and the medicine were gone."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I just used this 1-day ovule for the first time, and it worked great! I did not get any burning or itching sensation at all. I put it in before I went to bed and feel a lot better in the morning. I would recommend seeing your doctor if it's the first time you have had a yeast infection, but otherwise, this is a good product to use."

It's been almost 2 days, and I'm still burning. I'll just have to bear it until the effects are gone. UGH!!! Don't do it, ladies!!!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I developed a yeast infection after being on antibiotics for a week because of strep throat. I used the Walgreens generic. I did not experience the unbearable burning/itching like some people mention. There was a slight increase in itch at first, but it wasn’t anything crazy. I will admit that I didn’t sleep very well because it was a little uncomfortable, and I felt like the medication would leak out if I moved. I didn’t feel better immediately when I woke up (8 hours after insertion), but I noticed that I felt a lot better about 12 hours after insertion. Overall, this product worked at clearing my yeast infection and had very minimal side effects/discomfort. It probably does make things slightly worse because the medication is so strong, but I felt a lot better after 12 hours. My yeast infection was also fairly mild, so maybe the burning sensation occurs when the medication is applied to a severe case with more irritation or lacerations."
