Monistat 3 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "First day was the same as all these reviews describe - HORRENDOUS and sinfully filled with fire in and around my vulva. We all scream together. Second day (today), there’s absolutely no pain/itchiness/soreness/side effects. I really do think that the initial pain is just the medicine WORKING and eating away at the fungus. The worse the spread, the more it hurts at first. Today I have nothing to complain about and I think we just need to stick it out for that first couple hours of hellfire. It’s definitely working now, oof."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "The email I just sent to the makers of Monistat: The itching and burning I am experiencing right now is excruciating. This is unacceptable. I have used Monistat products many times in the last 15 years, and I have never experienced anything like this torture. That I may have to go to my local emergency room to have my vaginal flushed out is beyond ridiculous. I have never hated a brand as much as I hate Monistat right now. After reading a very long, very recent thread of women who have had similar reactions, I think it is grossly negligent of your company to say that "mild" itchy and burning may occur. The only justice in the world would be for every male executive and product developer in your company to develop crotch rot inside their penis and be forced to use this product. Their female counterparts need to go straight to somewhere bad for pocketing their pay while Monistat victims writhe in pain and discomfort. I hate you people and I plan to make it my mission to let everyone woman know how disgusting, useless, and harmful your products are. Do not send me any coupons as an "We're sorry our product set your vagina ablaze with the venom of a billion tiny fire ants. Here is a discount for your next hot molten lava therapy kit." Do not dare."

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Wow. Hour one I was feeling fine... decrease in YI symptoms. Happy. Hour two? Burning blazing fire, an inferno. Where do the flames come from. I was wailing spread bald eagle in front of my ac. I took painkillers. I gently laid some wet paper towels. Nothing. Finally fell asleep after two more hours and lots of pain. It is now day two and I’m still irritated (not as bad but worse than my YI). According to other reviews it should calm down in uhhh about a day or two but I don’t know. Just go to the doctor. I’m begging you. Just go to the doctor. Your copay and medicine price mean nothing in the face of this California forest fire. 0/10. Save yourself."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Have used this medication (Monistat 1) twice in the past, with no side effects. Tonight after putting the ovule in and using the appropriate topical cream I started to experience extreme burning sensations 1000% worse than the yeast infection itself. It feels like the outside and inside of my vagina are on fire. If I hadn’t seen all these reviews I would be taking myself to the hospital as I have never experienced something like this before. This product should not be on shelves."

Monistat 3 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Don't listen to all the bad reviews on this product, people obviously don't know how treatment for a fungal infection works. The worse the pain or itching after insertion or application of cream, the worse the infection. If its really burning and itching, it just means you have a really bad infection and the medication is attacking it. Also using the 7 day treatment may be better for really bad infections as it will not hurt as bad, its more of a gradual treatment as opposed to the 1 or 3 day treatment."

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Placed the vaginal insert inside my lady bits and the applied the external cream and waited. About 20 minutes later the whole area started to feel warm and tingly as if I had rubbed a vopour rub all over my honey pot. At first I was nervous not knowing if this was normal or how intense this “heat” would get. After about 15 minutes when it levelled out and stopped increasing in intensity I actually didn’t mind it. It kind of felt interesting and not at all unpleasant. And the best thing is it actually worked and got rid of the infection."

Monistat 7 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I know Monistat 7 gets a lot of hate, but it works. The box says you may experience a mild increase in itching and burning, and I've found a way to decrease it. The first night I used it I just lay down with a pad on and it felt fine, but when it started to leak, the outside of my vagina felt like it was covered in termite bites. Worse case scenario, the itching subsides after an hour. I'm in the middle of my seven day treatment and I've found what works best is literally shoving a towel into your underwear to basically clog the leak. This product should NOT touch the outside of your vagina, despite what the box says. In the morning, if it leaks it DOES NOT burn, it's just the initial hour. Please do not let this deter you from buying this product. My vagina was so swollen from my yeast infection I would start to cry when I wiped. The morning after my first application, no itching, no swelling, no pain. This product WORKS, just make sure not to let any leak out."

Monistat 7 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Day 1- I inserted Monistat laying down and put it on the vulva and labia, then went to get up to do my night time routine (BAD IDEA). The intense burning started immediately and lasted for about an hour. From a scale of 1 to 10, the pain was about an 8. I wanted to get better, so I sucked it up and just went to sleep. Day 2: The next day, I woke up with a swollen vagina. It hurt to pee and walk. I was uncomfortable the entire day and just wanted this to end. I made sure to do my night routine, insert the cream laying down and go straight to sleep. Surprisingly, there was no burning sensation this night. It was easier. Day 3: It didn’t hurt to pee this time. There’s still minor swelling and redness, but not as bad as day 2. I think it really is working, so I’m going to continue it. The foul smell is still there, but it’s probably because I still need to finish it. Ladies, I know it burns and I know it freaking sucks!!! But, get through it, finish it, and get better."

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Honestly I was reading the comments about this product while the egg was in and I was so worried. It started burning after an hour but it wasn’t bad burning like others have said it was burning where it tingles and you can’t handle it and then after an hour I went away. I went to sleep scared because I read comments of ladies waking up during their sleep crying and I didn’t I wake up until the next day. There was no itch, no nothing. I just went on with my day and I feel fine. I think it just depends on your vagina. And sometimes ladies think they have yeast infection and treat it with this product, but it may be something else bacterial and end up messing it up and it burns them since they’re using the wrong product, or some women may have sensitive skin."

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Do not use this product ever! I normally use Monistat 3, but vacation starts tomorrow, so I tried Monistat 1 thinking it would be better. My crotch is on fire! No amount of spread eagle with a cold wet cloth is making this go away! I would rather have a raging yeast infection, than have injected this acid into my vagina."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok, so I read these reviews and thought what a bunch of wimps. I used the first dose and had mild stinging for a few minutes. No biggy. Now it's the second day and I used another dose. Oh sweet mercy. Liquid lava doesn't even begin to describe the pain. Monistat should be called Rot your crotch because I'm pretty sure mine melted like an ice cube in Texas in August. What sadistic person created this stuff. The pain. Then the nausea. To say it was bad was an understatement. Thank goodness there were no police around as I lay writhing in pain with my eyes crossed, jumping and twitching like frog legs in a frying pan. Dear ladies I apologize, you are not wimps. I endured natural labor but at least at the end of that pain I had a beautiful baby girl. This was a close second and no baby at the end."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So yes, YI's SUCK! If you have to buy monistat you are already in a very uncomfortable place. I have used both monistat and the generic brands and both cause burning. It's unfortunately just a side effect of the medication working. For me it's no worse than the itching of a YI. But if it's unbearable for you, call your doctor next time to get the pill instead. I don't like the pill because I always seem to get a YI when I'm out of town, or on a weekend/holiday (or both! Hello labor day weekend!"

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Took the monistat and first hour was really irritated, but I took some ibuprofen and felt much better. Got worried at one point when after about 3 hours I noticed a lot of the egg had kinda like melted out of me. But I woke up this morning and haven’t had any irritation or burning :)"

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Oh my goodness. I have used Monistat in the distant past. No problem. Took care of my YI. Found out on Friday the 13th I have another one. Doc was going to call in a script but didn’t. I figured I can take use OTC Monistat. Welp. I figured wrong. Popped it in at bedtime. Two hours later I wanted to call 911 to get the fire department to put the fire out in my vajayjay. I am now sitting on a bag of frozen peas after taking ibuprofen and making out my will."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got this 7 day cream from dollar general pretty cheap, around $7 and when I first put it in it burned pretty bad but I just sat on my phone or ran around to keep my mind off of it and after a hour it doesn’t burn as bad and I already feel like my yeast infection is gone it works superrrr well, when you put alcohol on a cut it burns but that’s how you know it’s cleaning. You have to deal with the bad to get the good but everyones body is different."

Monistat 7 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have used Equate 7 Day before with success, did have some burning a bit when I inserted, but it was tolerable. I used Monistat 7 last night and within two hours I was awake with unbelievable BURNING and itching. I couldn't sleep, it was so uncomfortable. The pain I felt was enough that I almost panicked. I wiped off as much as I could and used a cool rag to help. I finally got an ice pack and put that there for 20 minute increments. It was miserable. I was up for hours, then finally was able to sleep around 4 a.m. I feel swollen and irritated this morning, with some itching but I walk like I've got on a full diaper. I'm seriously not sure what to do now....can't do another night like that."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have never in my life left a review on anything. Not Amazon, not a restaurant, not a game, nor a forum. What has Monistat changed???? I used this SEVERAL times in the past and I have never experienced this terrible burning/ itching. Like seriously if it weren’t for everyone else’s reviews I would think I had an STD that I didn’t know about. I am on fire and trying my best not to run to the tub, turn the shower on and hit a handstand. . and wait... what’s that smell? OH! That’s just my VAGINA burning to a black CRISP!!! . Save your cookies ladies. I remember I used to have one TWENTY MINUTES AGO!!!. Seriously, just get Diflucan."

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ladies it was funny because I called my bf after the first day of having that egg inside of me and told him it was no big deal. It's the third day and I thought I'd escaped the rumored torture but wow was I wrong. It's much worse than the YI. Please listen to the reviews on this one ladies. Do not try this medicine. We ladies should all sign a petition to get this awful egg taken off the shelves or we should be refunded for the pain and suffering that comes to us along with this ."

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I told myself if this medicine ended up working I would leave a positive review because at one point I was doubting it. I was on antibiotic and a yeast infection quickly followed..white discharge with no odor, ITCHING at the opening and inside me, and vaginal soreness, I felt like I got kicked between the legs! I dealt with it for a few days taking AZO before I turned to Monistat 1. Let me tell you the first day and after, I did not think it was working and started to worry I had something worse..day 3 the discharge was the absolute worst it's been, day 4 still wasn't cleared up, I washed with some coconut oil down there and let it sit before rinsing..random and first time I tried it through this week, and then finally today day 5 the infection appears to be gone, no discharge not a single itch!! I also got my period today maybe that's why or maybe the coconut oil helped. Either way I think Monistat 1 works just give it a good couple days like it says. Best of luck!"

Monistat 7 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I gave this a 10 because it definitely works BUT if I had to rate the overall experience I would give it a 2. Literally only keeping it above 0 because it is effective. The internal itching you get using this stuff is unbearable! The first night is always the absolute worst and it gradually gets better every night after. After night 3 there usually isn’t much itching or burning. But MY GOODNESS, you would think there was a way to make this work without the discomfort or something they could provide you to ease the discomfort."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Now I know why my dr advised me to use M7 not M3...! M7 is a lower strength to M3 which is "regular strength". First applicator I used itched & burned like crazy within a few minutes. It was so unbearable I ended up using the bathroom to push it out & then took a shower to rinse it out. BUT...to my astonishment the next day both itch & discharge diminished - not completely but definitely & noticeably much less. That encouraged me to apply the second dosage. Except this time I took my sweet time pushing in the plunger. I pushed a little, then paused, and repeated til entire dosage was applied. Took me a good 10 mins total. There was a long continuous mild itching which was irritating but it did not burn. Took benadryl to take edge off & fall asleep. Fingers crossed..."

Monistat 7 (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, I had a mild YI and almost didn't take this stuff because of the horrifying reviews. So, for three weeks, I tried probiotics, apple cider vinegar, a yeast cleanse supplement, oregano oil, coconut oil, and eliminating all sugar (even fruit). I definitely recommend this method for weight loss, but the YI remained. While contemplating sticking a clove of garlic...up there...I realized I was being ridiculous, and it was time for modern medicine. Day 1: inserted the cream before bed and prayed that fire ants were not about to populate my nether region. I felt...a warm sensation?...for maybe ten minutes...then RELIEF! The next morning (upon standing up) resulted in a mass exodus of cottage cheese and medication from my nether region (sorry, if you're googling this, you've already seen worse), but zero discomfort. Day 2: same - no warm sensation - just relief. Less of a dramatic morning stand-up, but a smaller yeast evacuation. Day 3: no signs of YI Day 4: no signs of YI - debating stopping the medication, but it is seven-day for a reason. Day 5: YI is a thing of the past. What's yeast? Day 6: taking the medication is now a superfluous yet instinctive part of my bedtime routine. Day 7: FINALLY"

Monistat 1 Combination Pack (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Stay away!! I used Monistat over a decade ago. Some reviews say that the burning is because it’s not a yeast infection. Untrue! This Monistat is a different formula and whatever they put in it causes extreme burning! My labia minor and major burned in ways I cannot describe. The inflammation is not minimal! Please don’t purchase this product. On day 1 there was some mild discomfort and itching. Day 2 was by far the worst as the product began to slow seep out and I was up all night in pain and agony. Day 3 the “chunks” of the egg start to come out and I finally felt relief. It is now Day 4 and there is some itching but barely noticeable. Don’t use this product. Please! The FDA needs to investigate this."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've looked online for lots of reviews for Monistat. I've used it in the past and every time I have horrible burning and irritation right after applying. It was worse than the yeast infection itself. Took hours for me to just be able to sleep."

Monistat (miconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Hi. I am an RN. Like many women, we’ve all had an yeast infection a time or two. I would treat mine with OTC Monistat. Sometimes I would do the 1 dose treatment or the 3 dose treatment. I’ve NEVER had a problem with Monistat. I would treat myself and feel relief. Well just this week, I noticed myself getting a yeast infection and went to purchase OTC Monistat. When I tell you that I felt like my lady parts were engulfed in flames and swollen- it was the worst pain EVER. Nothing I did gave me relief from this medication. I had to wait till it cleared itself from me. I would prefer to just have my mildly irritated vagina back than to EVER use this cream again. And according to the multiple reports on this site about this product...Monistat needs to reevaluate its formula."
