| 3 | SERVERE Yeast infection | Uncomfortable It was so uncomfortable to put the applicator in. But no burning or itching. Just a bit weird to know cream is hanging in there and hoping and praying it won't come out | F | 23 | 1 days | 1/17/2013 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Normally when I have a yeast infection this stuff works fast. However, I am now into day 4 and my yeast infection is not completely gone. I suggest using the suppositories at night as to day where you would experience a lot of discharge which, by the way, is completely uncomfortable and feels gross. Days 2 and 3, I felt the burning sensation. I didn't want to stand or even urinate. I would suggest using Monistat 3 instead to get faster results. | F | 23 | 4 days | 12/8/2012 | 3 | yeast infection | I took it and after inserting the cream it itched sooo bad on the inside, but all the itching on the outside stopped.. I hope this cures it . | F | 17 | 1 days | 11/29/2012 | 3 | yeast infection | I'm not done with the seven day treatment, but for the past four days I experienced a REALLY annoying itch about 2-4 minutes after I injected the cream. However, the external cream relieved a lot of the itchy sensation on the outside...which took me about 5 minutes to work. I personally try not to think about it...it's so annoying. I read all the reviews and I really think it all depends how your body takes it..we're all different. | F | 16 | 4 days | 11/26/2012 | 3 | Yeast infection | Extreme burning on the inside of my vagina immediately after using the applicator and inserted the oval pill. I also felt extreme heat in my inside. | I chose to use the Monistat1 Day treatment Day or Night pack which came with the applicator, one white oval pill and 1 tube of cream to relieve the itching. The topical cream only caused a slight burning for a few minutes but nothing too bad. However, about 10 minutes after i used the applicator, I felt a burning that i had NEVER experienced before. It was sooo severe that i was trying to ice the area over my pj bottoms. I came upon this website just when i was starting to freak out and thank god for all the other comments. I feel very comforted to know that its NOT ME!! THe burning was horrendous for about 3 hrs and is now starting to subside. I still feel burning and heat but a lot less than a few hrs ago. From my experience, i can say that its probably better to lay down and sit up. You will definitely feel less burning lying down. I am pretty sure that the 3 Day and 7 Day will have less burning because they are less concentrated than the 1 day. But if you are like me and just want to treat it and move on, then you are going to have to stick it out!! I am feeling a little better so there is HOPE :-) | F | 30 | 1 days 1200mg 1X day | 9/21/2012 | 3 | yeast infection | i just used monistat 7 and its burning just a little bit, it doesn't itch or anything i hope it wont burn for the next 6 days, ive been reading that it just burns the first time you use it, for some reason im not that worried about it but its not comfortable at all.. i pray to my lord that this will help. | F | 15 | 1 days | 6/20/2012 | 3 | yeast infection | I have used this product in the past and NEVER did it burn like this! Something is absolutly different. I will say that an ice pack did help. I used a gel ice pack over my pajama pants. | F | 36 | 1 days 7day | 2/27/2012 | 3 | For a YI | I, like many other have taken Monistat in the past and never experienced this before. After just 2 min of using it, I had so much itching and burning I thought I would go crazy. I can't wait to be done with this treatment. I agree with the many others that said the formula for the product must has changed recently. | F | 25 | 2 days 3x | 2/8/2012 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Well, with all the negative reviews I'm reading here, it makes you wonder if the product works. I started my first injection about 7 PM tonight. It did burn and itch. However, it's now 10 PM and it feels much better. Like peroxide on an infection it burns and foams up right? Don't you think Monistat 7 would have the same reaction for a yeast infection? I would think so. | F | 51 | 1 days 7 day | 2/4/2012 | 3 | yeast infection | Slight burning and itching | So far I think the slight burning and itching is the medicines way of curing the yeast infection. I will update on the last day. | F | 30 | 2 days 100mg 1X day | 1/18/2011 | 3 | Yeast infection | extreme burning and itching | I used Monistat many times in past years. I never experienced any side effects, and it always seemed to work. However, now I am in my thirties, and have two children--- who knows if that is the change or the product has changed. I used Monistat for two nights now, and I have extreme burning and itching upon applicati and until I am able to fall asleep. I do not know if the product is working, but I am going to complete the series because I do not want to have to start all over again. I agree with a past commentor... I think that the product has changed over the last few years. | F | 33 | 1X day | 11/21/2010 | 3 | yeast infection | Slight burning sensation, great deal of itchying and irritation | I used monistat 7 a couple times before. But last night (first doasge) i had to use monistat 3 b/c that was the only one the store held. I read the directions and side effects etc, before i inserted the pre-filled app. The side effects stated that i might experience burning, itchying, and irritation. But i never experienced that before while useing this product. So i went ahead and insterted the app. And not even 10 min. after i felt slight burning but alot of itchying. I was so tired and wanted to sleep but couldnt. So i took some night quil, which knocked me out. And when i woke up the next morning the pain was gone. So i thought.I went to use the bathroom and when i was done. It all started back up again. So i took some tylenol and went back to sleep for maybe 2-3 hours. When i woke up the pain was gone again. I was to nervous to move b/c i didnt want the pain to come back. But it didnt. I felt fine. Well...randomly i would feel about 5-10 sec. of itchyness and irritation. But that was it. I know the side effects can be unbearable, but once its done...you'll think it was worth it. However after reading everyones comments,im still a little iffy with this product. Only because lately everyones experiencing the side effects after how many times they've used this. It really makes you wonder if they changes something in the product. I rated it a 3 because even though these side effects are killer, ain the end you feel better. | F | 19 | 3 days 1X day | 11/6/2010 | 3 | Diagnosed yeast infection | I was diagnosed with a yeast infection by my doctor and bought the Monistat One-Day treatment because why prolong it for seven days, right? Wrong. I didn't have any of these horrific side effects you girls have described, but when I spoke to my doctor after, she recommended that I use the Monistat 7 since the one-day treatments don't actually cure most yeast infections. That's ridiculous. Monistat shouldn't be able to market a product that isn't even considered effective by doctors. Don't bother wasting your time with the one-day treatment... | F | 19 | 1 days 100mg 1X day | 10/26/2010 | 3 | yeast infection | intense itching and burning | I have used Monistat 7 for over 30 years and not until now have I ever experienced this. Have they changed the formula? I am also eating yogurt which helps the PH balance. I am on HRT which is what start this. This, my friends, is not fun! | F | 56 | 7 days whatever 1X day | 7/9/2010 | 3 | yeast infection | Have had yeast infections before - had problems with severe itching and burning when applying Monistat - The effects were more intense than the yeast infection. Did use the diflucan (one-time pill) on a few occassions. Seemed to work really well, until the last couple times I had to use one. Had reaction - all over-body itching. Very bothersome constant itching to where my skin was bleeding - had to be put on steriods to get rid of itching. The only thing the doctor could associate it to was the Diflucan (happened two different times when I was given Diflucan). Found the best treatment for myself was the long 7 day treatment - but I have to say the side effects are alot less invasive for me. | F | 46 | 3 days 1X day | 6/28/2010 | 3 | Itching | I have only had Monistat 7 for one day but almost right away when I used the internal cream I experienced REALLY BAD ITCHING. But after 30 minutes its going away...thank god. Hopefully it doesn't do that every night. So far I have felt no burning. My yeast infection was not that bad though and that might have something to do with it. | F | 21 | 7 days 1X day | 3/26/2010 | 3 | Yeast infection or so I thought... | Ok, so I came to this board & was relieved to see that there were many ppl experiencing the burning, painful feeling when using this product. However, my roommate told me she has NEVER experienced these side effects & urged me to call my doctor. I did the next day & they nurse practitioner said that a) it should not be painful & b) the pink discharge is NOT normal. So I was told to come in the next day. I went in & the nurse practitioner tried to take a culture but since I had the monistat still in me, she said the results could not be told from just a quick microscope screen. She then asked about possibly having a urinary tract infection, which I thought I might have a mild one due to my urine being cloudy. She said she noticed that my uterus was indeed inflamed and she gave me antibiotics for a UTI, since she said the symptoms I was experiencing were more indicative of a UTI than a yeast infection. I did not realize a UTI can cause that itching feeling | I would rate N/A b/c I misdiagnosed myself and used the wrong product. | F | 37 | 7 days 1X day | 3/4/2010 | 3 | Burning No itching | I am on night two of monistat 7 and its really painful.... I jus want to get rid of the yeast infection but the burning from this product is almost unbearable...I thought I was the only one experiencing this until i read all the comments on this site. Monistat needs to go and remix this product so it will not cause burning or itching | F | 19 | 2 days 1X day | 3/2/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | okay.... well first night i wanted to die... burning oh the burning and itching like crazy but i stuck it out, it got better... | im 17 and i consider my threshold for pain quite low.... but i do recommend take a shower the first night if you have these symptoms... it helps or just sit in the bath tub for a while it then calmed down... the second night just itching... grrr more ... but im sticking it out i want this thing out of my body!!!! good luck gals | F | 17 | 7 days 1X day | 2/17/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Intense burning and itching | The first time I took Monistat 1 was about a year ago, and I experienced the most horrible burning sensation inside that woke and kept me up for hours in tears. I recently tried it again, hoping that it wouldn't hurt quite so bad as it did before, and instead of burning, I had an extremely irritating itchy feeling. From reading other comments, I definitely will try using either Monistat 3 or 7 next time. Monistat 1 is just way too harsh despite how well it works; I would honestly have rather endured the yeast infection than to insert the ovule. | F | 17 | 1 days 1X day | 2/13/2010 |
