 3  yeast infect Wow and I thought the infections made it burn and itch. The medicine tripled the itch and burn after it is first inserted. The intense itching last about an hour after I first inserted the cream and then started calming down and I could fall asleep.I still have one more application and I am scared. I would probably not use this again. F 2 days

 3  Yeast infection The initial itching was bother some but after applying the outside cream it felt better all day. Then came night. My friend is a nurse so I felt better about the burning and itching. But it is craz crazy intense. I feel it to my butt hole and even the bottoms of my feet start to itch. After the first dose the next morning I felt amazing all day. Not itching or burning. But I was dreading using it again tonight. I couldnt even put the hole tube amount in. Only like 80 percent bc it stateroom burning right away. And you feel like you cant get comfortable. After about 30 minutes it starts to slowly feel better. I just wish there was a way to make the cream not burn so dang much because its really horrible. F 2 days

 1  Yeast infection I have a mild yeast infection and as soon as I inserted the prefilled tube....GOD it seriously burns and itches!!!! I'm trying to keep calm but I dont think I can go through the next 2 days if I'm going to be on fire. Yeast infection wasn't that bad compared to Monistat 3. I definately would NOT recommend this to anyone. F 3 days

 1  Vaginal yeast infection Using this product is extremely painful! The package insert said to expect mild discomfort. It feels like my vagina and rectum are burning up or being eaten by fire ants. I tried peeing to get the medicine out of me and make the pain go away. I have a high pain tolerance (given birth numerous times without pain meds) and I am telling you, this medicine HURTS. I hate it and hope no one else has to use it. F

 4  Yeast Infection :( Relieved the urge to itch then began to itch again but it's definitely not as bad as before I only used the anti itch cream because I was in a hurry and that's what I felt like I needed was to stop the itching asap and which when I first put it on it stopped all itching and pain but after about 5 minutes it began to itch again but it's not as bad as before I used the cream. It worked well but if I need to buy more I would try a different kind to compare which I think works better F 16 1 days

 4  Yeast infection Used the external cream first. Was feeling very itchy and very annoyed. Cream actually helped within minutes of application. Very uncomfortable inserting the internal applicator due to swelling (and overal discomfort anyways); probably didn't insert applicator in completely (could barely get it in maybe 3 or 4 inches?) No discomfort or pain after internal cream. Nothing significant has happened. No pain/discomfort/ITCHINESS any more intense than originally. This is my first time having a yeast infection, therefore my first time using Monistat (use generic version). At first I was dreading using the vaginal applicator F 16 3 days

 3  Yeast Infection #2 My first yeast infection I used the 7 day treatment and I had no problems what so ever. That lead me to believe this would be the same ; I was wrong. After it is first inserted there is a burning sensation an unbearable pain (ranges different from person to person) and then it seems to subdue a bit. F 16 3 days

 3  YI I noticed some unusual things going on with my vagina like itching, redness, peculiar discharge and sure enough it was a YI. I couldn't take it anymore so i asked my mom to get me monistat, within five minutes of using this product there was an intense it h inside, and hasn't gone down, it's been half an hour. I just want to let everyone know that this is the most intense and painful itch i've ever felt in my life. F 16 1 days

 5  Yeast infection Cooling "Minty" Sensation. Fast Acting. I got the Monistat 3 box. which came with cooling wipes, ovules, and a cream, the ovule itself created a cooling minty sensation, which was demi-pleasant, however awkward. as for the cream, it relieved my itching, and perhaps its just me but i feel like it has helped the swelling go down. I would recommend this, and I will buy again if I have another infection. F 17 3 days
