Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Because I have kidney problems and recurring kidney infections, I'm often prescribed antibiotics, causing frequent yeast infections. I use Monistat EVERY time I've gotten a YI. Yes, the burning and itching are intense, but I'd much rather have extreme symptoms for 1 day than itching and discomfort for a week from an untreated YI. I even go to work with the ovule in, it's not that much more intense than the YI symptoms alone. And no, I do not have a sitting-down job."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used the Monistat 1 yesterday around 3 pm and didn't feel any tingling until 3 hours later. I have to agree that it is uncomfortable, but it is bearable. It has to get worse before it gets better. The cottage cheese-like discharge is starting to come out today, and it feels very uncomfortable. I will be much happier when the irritation inside the vagina goes away. I would still consider this product because the warning labels do say that the side effects cause intense burning."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I inserted the ovule around 6:30 p.m., immediately followed by the external cream. Around 9:45 p.m., I began to feel an intense burning sensation. Like others have claimed, I have a high tolerance for pain. I did not cry, and I did not show my family that I was in extreme discomfort (I REALLY WAS). It is now 11:30 p.m., and I am feeling a little relief; it is much more bearable. I think the medicine is very highly concentrated, and it bothered me so much as it started working. I hope I continue to feel better. The discomfort was not worth the cure, though. My YI symptoms felt better before. I will definitely go to my doctor next time."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Uncomfortable first day or two, by day three, it starts clearing up. Day four, little to no symptoms, by day five, completely gone. As a first-time user, I was cautious and hesitant about using OTC medicine. If you can get past the uncomfortability of the first two days, then you will do just fine."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had some irritation and discomfort from a YI. I've used Monistat 1 day in the past, so I purchased it again in hopes of getting relief as I've gotten in the past. Instead, I got the worst itching and burning my vagina has ever had. After reading the reviews, I became very concerned and tried to wash as much of this product off as I could. I pray this medication doesn't cause any serious problems. I can't even sleep because the burning is so uncomfortable. Sooo disappointed. I DO NOT recommend this product even though I've used it in the past to cure my YI."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This was the worst medication I've ever used for a yeast infection. I'm usually prescribed the Diflucan or fluconazole, which are wonderful and fast treatments. After missing my doctor's appointment, I decided to try this for the first time. After an hour of insertion, it burned so severely and drained on and off all night. Even days after, I still felt so much discomfort, so I went back to the doctor's to get the Diflucan. I'm okay now."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, decided I had a yeast infection, so I went to the store to avoid going to the doctor. Found Monistat 1 and was pleased that there was such a thing to make it go away fast. I inserted the egg at about 11:30 pm last night and felt completely fine. At about 4:30 this morning, I started to feel some discomfort, so I went to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet for about 20 minutes in horrible pain, itching and itching. I came back to bed thinking it would just go away. Nope. I'm laying here in such pain, it's 5:30 AM and I have a heating pad in my crotch. I would never recommend this to someone, and I am suffering. Usually I read reviews, but I didn't this time and wow am I regretting it. Do yourself a favor and don't get this stuff."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had a horrible YI brought on by a honeymoon and antibiotics. Wanted relief quickly, so I got this stuff. I had no discomfort while the product was in. I inserted and then applied the topical cream. It felt gross, but no discomfort until after... I used the cream all day today to help with itching, and tonight during my shower realized how swollen I am. I have not read any comment that stated how long the swelling lasted, but I’m hoping not long. This is definitely not the good type of swelling, and it’s extremely uncomfortable. However, if my yeast infection is gone, because honestly, I can’t tell what’s going on down there, I would suffer through this again. If I still have one in about 3 days' time, then I’m pissed... By the way, I loved reading these comments. I wish we all could talk this freely anywhere. It’s great. Thanks, ladies, and good luck."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Used the ovule.... worse discomfort, itching, and burning than the actual YI. Would have been better off letting heal naturally... seriously... just go to your doctor for a prescription... It feels like you have poison oak in your hoo-ha. It will not improve your ability to have a normal workday. I can't sit, lie, or stand... too busy fighting the urge to itch to think.."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "My birth control gives me occasional yeast infections, and I have tried seven, three, and one-day treatments. The Monistat 1 day was my last attempt, and it works like a charm! I was scared reading all the reviews, and I was expecting excruciating pain. I applied the ovule at 10 pm and woke up around midnight to mild itching and burning. It was uncomfortable, but nothing I could not handle or could keep me up. The next day, I no longer had symptoms. Would recommend if you don't mind being uncomfortable for a few hours."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had really bad burning, itching, and discomfort going on once my period came. I immediately knew it was due to an overload of sweets, and my mom always strongly recommended the 1-day treatment. After inserting the ovule, I felt a bit relieved, but the external medication is very highly irritant to my vulva. Apparently, the medicine is kicking in, making it highly intense, almost unbearable to withstand. After a day or so, no more itching! It hurts, but if you want to kick a yeast infection's butt, it works! :)"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I experienced the same major discomfort as most about 2 hours after inserting the ovule. It was really uncomfortable for about 3 hours. I had to lay on my bed and basically not move for that time, but after that, the itching and burning subsided, and I feel great now."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Am I going to die? I put this in around 12 am and went to sleep. I just woke up at five am to the worst, most itchy vagina ever and called my mom and cried because it’s the most uncomfortable thing ever. I would rather break my arm. This sucks so much, and I don't know how to get rid of it, I am trapped at college, it sucks. This is awful. Don’t take this unless you absolutely hate your vagina and love discomfort. I've never reviewed anything but have to review such an awful thing to save girls in the future."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I put this in about 9 pm last night before I read all y'all reviews, so I kinda got spooked, but I didn't experience any burning, itching, or discomfort. The gel did melt everywhere outside my vagina, which took away any itchiness from my vulva. I recommend sleeping with no panties so you can really air out, just be cautious not to stain anything. It's about 11 am, and I can tell my YI is completely gone. I am going to shower and wipe all the melted gel off my outsides and let the rest of the medicine still inside me marinate throughout the day."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I bought this in a Walgreen, thinking that I would have relief, but instead, my vagina started to burn and itch really badly. It was burning and itching without any control for about 3 hours. I had to wake up because of discomfort. Then the burning and itching sensation started to go mild. I am hoping it's worth it and that the burning and itching goes away. But I am definitely not buying it again. The burning and itching got really worse after I applied this medication. I hope it works."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Took antibiotics about 2 weeks ago, had slight sensitivity on my lips during sex two times, didn't think much of it until it burned when I peed after sex. Took some probiotic gummy for a few days, hoping it would just go away. It's been a week now, this morning, super itchy and uncomfortable with the tiniest bit of discharge, I decided to buy this product. Inserted it at 9:30 am at work-on and off burning, not too itchy, I've just left it alone. Peed twice so far, a bunch of white discharge now. Second pee, I had a little bit of blood on the wipe when cleaning up and reapplying cream. 4:30 pm still mild burning enough to notice, not too bad. 6:15 burning slightly more. 8 pm burning stopped. 9 am no burning, no sensitivity, still discharge, but it works."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I went to purchase Monistat 1 and bought the Monistat 1-day Tioconazole 300 mg pre-filled applicator, as opposed to the Monistat 1-day Miconazole 1200 mg ovule, just by chance and not knowing the difference between them. Only after I used the applicator did I look up Monistat 1 and found these horrible reviews! Most people on here seem to have intense burning and itching for hours with the 1200 mg ovule. I have had no problem with the Tioconazole 300 mg pre-filled applicator. I was super worried after reading all of these reviews, and I don't know if the 1200 mg ovule would have caused the severe burning for me also, but the pre-filled applicator was fine. It felt slightly uncomfortable and felt slightly 'warm' for 15 mins, but that's it!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT USE. I noticed my symptoms during a holiday weekend, so I could not go to my doctor for a prescription of Diflucan as I usually do. I bought the Monistat. This product made me feel worse after using it. My poor vagina was burning and swollen after use. I was so incredibly uncomfortable that I could not sleep at all. I woke up in the middle of the night and soaked in the bathtub with apple cider vinegar and water. I researched natural home remedies and ended up making a suppository with coconut oil and tea tree oil. It helped soothe my poor vagina from the horrible burning and discomfort caused by the Monistat. I will never use Monistat again. Ever. Never. Nope. NEVER!!! I wish I would have paid to go to urgent care instead of enduring this horrific experience. Ladies, if you love or even remotely like your vagina, DO NOT use this product. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "If I could give this a trillion for a rating, I would. I took this at 12, hoping to cure my YI and really wanting the regular irritation to go away. Around 1 o'clock, it hit me like someone lit a match in my vagina. The burning and itching are indescribable. I had to have someone pick me up and was trembling and crying. THIS BOX NEEDS TO HAVE A LABEL ON IT EXPLAINING THIS REACTION!! And there's basically nothing you can do but wait it out. After 3 hours, I started feeling better, but it still burns SO MUCH. I bought AZO yeast infection oral capsules to take orally to help relieve the pain, so hopefully it helps. I wish I saw these reviews BEFORE taking it. It IS NOT WORTH IT. Unbearable pain and discomfort."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, so I have a minor yeast infection. I bought the Monistat 1, and I'm doing just fine. All these posts I see about burning intensively are crazy, maybe you are allergic to the product or you have something far worse than a yeast infection. We are not Ob/Gyns to diagnose anything. Anyway, ladies, my Na Na feels just fine. Just use a panty liner to catch the medicine coming back out. There's minor discomfort because I feel the meds working, but all this itching and burning excessively is not my experience."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I applied this 2 cm egg from the center of a volcano about 28 hours ago. I wasn’t even that itchy - just wanted to get ahead of the yeast infection. About 30 minutes after application, the itching increased 1000-fold and burned now too. I put up with it for about an hour before I got in the shower and tried to wash it out of me. Then I held a cold can against my vulva and waited it out. This morning I felt alright when I woke up and thought my nightmare was over until I started moving around, which reignited my discomfort. Unless you can afford to lie still for 48 hours or you hate yourself, I would avoid this product."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I just used this product about 45 minutes ago. So far, so good! I have a little bit of discomfort, but that was there before I used the product. I had a lot of white discharge before use! (Due to yeast infection.) I recommend this product. On a scale of 1-10, the itching and burning is only about 3-10! If it works fast and properly, I'd highly recommend!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I took Monistat 1 earlier today and began feeling intense burning about 2 hours later. Very uncomfortable and painful, so I googled 'Monistat 1 burning' and arrived here, now reading all the reviews. At least I know it's somewhat 'normal' for it to feel like this, but all the same, I will never use the 1-day treatment again and would not recommend it to anyone else. It's been about 4 hours since I took it, and I'm wondering how long before the burning will ease up, *sigh*"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "After reading reviews about it, I was very skeptical. I noticed the YI about a few days ago. I decided to go with the ONE day because I felt like it'll be a faster process. I inserted the ovule, and it felt weird. It was slightly uncomfortable, and I had to lay down because I felt like it was coming out. (It wasn't, by the way, it just felt that way.) So I went to bed and was scared I was going to wake up screaming. But nope, I woke up, no pain, no nothing. I feel a lot better down there. Thank you, Monistat 1."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Inserted the medication, within two hours, I was ready to crawl out of my skin. I itched so badly that I wanted to tear my private area out. It burned and itched so badly. I will never, ever use the product again, it was so horrible and uncomfortable."
