Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I, of course, like many unsuspecting victims, went to buy this product without reading the information/reviews on it first. Once injected, I read the reviews and, of course, freaked out due to all the negative comments. I used the Monistat one-day ovule, I was preparing myself for the worst discomfort, but all I got was some slight burning and itching, nothing unbearable. I had the discomfort for probably about an hour, and then it went away, and I already feel my symptoms disappearing. I'm not sure why some people on here had such bad reactions, but I just wanted to share my experience and say that it wasn't bad at all!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I looked into it, and burning from Monistat often occurs when you have an infection other than a yeast infection because the pH levels are different and cause a different reaction. Yeast infections don't change pH in this way. Use an infection screening kit from any pharmacy and make sure you only have a yeast infection before using Monistat. I had only a yeast infection and therefore experienced none of this itching or burning, just light cramps."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, listen here. It's really irritating reading about how 'it's burned so bad'! Lord have mercy, you have a YI, of course, it's going to burn! I applied, and yes, it burned, but understand that that just means that you have an infection that evidently needs to be cleared. Your vagina is infected, and imagine putting lemon on a cut and then later complaining, 'ahhhh, it burns'... okay, well, I applied around 10 pm, and it burned for a while, but the overall effectiveness was amazing. The itching was gone in less than 2 days. The other burning and discharge were gone within 3 days!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had an awesome experience with Tioconazole 1 Day, I was scared to try it because of all the bad reviews, but when I tried it, there was intense itching, but it was tolerable. I slept well, and after about 3 hours, the itching died down, but there was still a little itching, there just wasn’t as much. I didn’t experience any burning or swelling, I just woke up, so I didn’t get the chance to see if it hurts when I use the bathroom... so an amazing experience!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I never write reviews, but after the horror stories I've read on here, I felt compelled to share my experience. I had already bought and inserted the ovule before reading any of these reviews, maybe a tad bit risky, but I live life on the edge. Lol. I used the product around 6:30 pm yesterday evening and have had none of the issues some of the ladies here have experienced. Thankfully, it's now the next day, and I feel nothing more than a cooling sensation down there. I didn't experience any burning, but just a small amount of itching a couple of hours after using Monistat, which was nothing I couldn't handle. It seems to really be doing what it's intended to do. This is my first YI, and overall, I'm very pleased with the results from using Monistat 1."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, I'm 63 years old and have had more than my share of yeast infections, although it's really not an actual infection but an overgrowth of yeast, right? I tried Monistat 1 only because the 3, 5, and 7-day dosages were out of stock. Ladies, this product is not good. Being post-menopause with no vaginal moisture to mitigate effects, I'm now on my 5th day of itching worse than the condition itself and burning from vulva to anus. I used to use Monistat in my younger days. I cannot believe the difference! I know you fertile females are suffering too, judging from your comments. But if any other post-menopausal gals are reading this, here is my heartfelt advice: slow down, take a few days. Use the extended dosage. Good luck all. Back to cold compresses! Damn."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I used this same product in 2016. Now, fast-forwarding to 2019, I find the need to put my Vag through this hell. The Monistat causes itching, burning, and pain like no other, because it is constantly there with no ceasing. You will not sleep, concentrate, or be in a good mood while this extremely strong medication is doing what you paid to do - kill the yeast infection! I am literally writing this review as I am sitting under the massive discomfort of this medication. I don’t discourage anyone from using it, however, I put out a disclaimer: BEWARE! It will test your character, patience, tolerance, and soul! But it works, it will get rid of an itch, odor, and burning from YI. Time: It takes about 1-2 hours for the gelatin egg to dissolve, and the burning, itching, and discomfort to start. Length: This varies. Discomfort could last from 1 hour to eternity."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Like most here on this website, laying down, itching and burning, trying not to think, so I can ignore it as much as possible. Not as painful as other medications I've tried before. I tried Monistat a couple of months ago, but it didn't do anything, so I'm trying this because it's a stronger treatment. Not unbearable, but most definitely, it burns."

Now I'm reading these reviews and wish I had just called the doctor. But why does a product that's supposed to help with burning and itching make it worse?!?"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I purchased this Tioconazole 1 Day product on a Tuesday, and just like the others, my vagina swelled shut. I was in terrible pain. I’m on Jardiance, so YI are common, and normally I’d take Diflucan or I would use Monistat 7, and in a day or so I’m good. However, using this product is a different story. Here it is Friday, and I’m still itching and in pain. This product is not worth the $10 I paid. I highly recommend that this product be avoided at all costs. It was not effective and caused me pain."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Currently pregnant, and this is my 2nd yeast infection within 7 months. The 1st infection, I did the 5-day treatment with the medicine that begins with M... miconazole? No complaints about that; I just wanted it cleared up quicker than that. After itching and rubbing raw for over a week, I decided to try this 1-day treatment with the active ingredient tioconazole. It’s been about 30 min since I have inserted the medicine, and so far, so good. I was worried about the burning and itching others had experienced, but I feel like I burned and itched more before insertion. Fingers crossed it clears soon!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am 18 and experienced my first yeast infection a few days ago. I read the reviews here after I had already used the Monistat 1 and was terrified. Luckily, I have had great results. After 3 days of YI symptoms, I used Monistat 1 around midnight last night. I did experience some itching during the night, but it was totally manageable. I did not experience the intense burning/itching that others described, despite having sensitive skin. My skin was somewhat raw but not terrible before using the medication, which may have helped. The next morning, everything felt completely back to normal (besides discharge, which Monistat does say is normal), and the swelling has gone down almost entirely. Only some discharge 20 hours later. Really worked for me!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I guess our bodies do react differently. I was in excruciating pain with the swelling, the itching, and the burning from this yeast infection caused by antibiotics that I needed something fast! My husband bought me the Monistat 1 (first yeast, we weren't sure what to use). But this was the perfect treatment. Used it at night, right after a shower, and I felt so much comfort the morning after. I gotta say I was very surprised! I'm very satisfied with this product, well worth the $15. Do read the instructions. I used the cream applicator and (not that I want to, but) I would use it again. Fast relief for me. Thank you, Monistat!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This product did work, but I'll NEVER use it again. I put it in and went to bed. I woke up about two hours later, and my vagina was burning/itching like nothing I've ever experienced. It felt like my v was on fire. Seriously! It was horrible. I tried to clean it all out. About one and a half hours later, the burning and itching went away. Yes, the product worked, but I burned/itched SO bad that I'll never use it again. Just call the Dr. and get a prescription. You'll thank me later."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG this stuff burns 100x worse than the YI! I inserted it about 15 mins ago and laid right down. I was so uncomfortable I would rather not have taken anything and just called my doc for a prescription. I DO Not Recommend! After the burning started, I wondered if this was normal, so I started looking for reviews. After reading through them, I decided I couldn't take the burning/itching anymore. I went to the toilet and pushed the gel out and wiped all the cream off. For a while, I just wanted to scratch with something sharp because it was a painful itch. Now I'm laying in bed with a cool wash cloth between my legs feeling a little bit better. Man, that was torture!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so I've avoided this medication for so long because of these reviews. IDK if you other ladies are allergic to something in the medication or what, but my experience was fine! I get recurrent yeast infections, so I've tried everything under the sun except for Monistat. I've tried terconazole, clotrimazole, boric acid, gentian violet, etc. Once I inserted it, I was super itchy for like the first half hour to an hour, then everything calmed down and felt so soothing. I woke up just now and feel great! No itching, didn't experience any burning. IDK what all the negativity is about. I'll check back in a few days to see if my infection is cured! Have no fear, ladies :)"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Tioconazole worked wonders for me! I took it 2 days after I noticed my YI coming on... (I’ve had them in the past, so I knew what it was right away), and I did NOT experience any of the crazy burning or itching like the other reviews say. But I did have a slight itch after I took it, but nothing unbearable. It took 4 days for my symptoms to be completely gone. I will use this again if I ever need it!"

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This has been one of the worse decisions I’ve made. I had mild symptoms to start. I thought I’d try it to completely be clear of it since it’s only one day. I regret it so badly. I decided to look at reviews, yes after, because it’s so uncomfortable and itchy (but I don’t scratch, which makes it harder) and thought this isn’t normal because I’ve used others and they have worked. This caught me by surprise. I applied it around 11 pm last night, and it’s 11:00 am right now, and I still feel discomfort, but thankfully it isn’t as bad, mostly it’s just throbbing. Don’t buy it, ladies, it’s not worth it at all."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE WITH THIS PRODUCT!! I got a yeast infection after a round of antibiotics. I had only mild symptoms for about 4 days before I decided to treat. The only reason I treated was that I am about to be super busy at work and wanted to feel my best. I chose the 1-day treatment because why treat for 7 days what you can treat in 1? Big mistake. I inserted the ovule, no problem. As soon as I put in the 'itch relief' cream, the itching and irritation increased 1000%! I feel so much worse than I did before this treatment. It's ironic that the treatment I used so I could be my best at work will probably make me actually miss a day at work. The discomfort is almost unbearable."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm turning 16 at the end of this month, and I had another yeast infection. I used Vagisil before, suggested by my doctor. This time, my mother went and picked up Monistat 1. In comparison, there was no burning or irritation once I applied the medicine. I would suggest wearing a pad and loose pants that you don't mind getting ruined, as suggested. However, I felt very uncomfortable about 4 hours after. It was a mixture of burning and itching, so I kept walking around my house and trying to get myself to ignore it. I eventually laid down and went to sleep. When I woke up, I felt completely better. There is still some irritation, but it isn't as bad as it was a few days ago. I would highly recommend it if you don't mind the slight side effects."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "If you can endure a major constant itch for a few hours, then you’ll be fine. Tioconazole works and will have your symptoms almost gone by the very next day. Yes, once you put it in, it will give you an intense itch. If the product melts and comes down your vagina, yes, it will then burn. I kept my legs propped up right after application so it didn’t burn me. Too bad, but the itching came 10 minutes after application. The itching was so bad that I showered, and it cured the itching. Even with me showering, I still had more product up there. Some did come out in the shower, but not a lot. Just know it works and this product is way better than having to wait to see a doctor and get a script."

Tioconazole topical for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Girl, stop, if you're thinking about buying this, just stop and read these reviews. The burning and itching are far worse than your yeast infection could ever be. My only escape is reading these reviews to know I'm not suffering alone. I had to make a doctor's appointment to make sure I didn't ruin my entire vagina. I have to assume it's only time before a lawsuit or it's taken off the shelves because of the mass suffering to all these poor, innocent vaginas out there."
