| 5 | Monistat 3 | I can see why some of you ladies would complain about using the applicator to insert the Monistat into your vaginas. Although the applicator is not as smooth as I would have ideally liked it to be, it was not entirely unbearable. All in all, it was NOT painful to use Monistat. | Right before my man walked in the door with the Monistat 3 (sweet guy went to the grocery store to purchase it for me because I was being a baby about the whole yeast infection experience), I started freaking out about using the medication altogether because I was reading about all the negative comments on this site. I think people have a tendency to over-exaggerate and embellish their stories. Please do not let the comments here discourage you or frighten you from a medicine that could potentially help you get relief!!! Try it yourself and form your own conclusions! | F | 23 | 1 days | 12/18/2008 | 5 | Yeast Infection | The side effects are worse than the actual infection. Within 2 minutes after taking my first dose I began feeling this intense itching/burning sensation. This kept me up for the majority of the night. As I said before my syptoms were nowhere near as bad before as they are now and I'm not understanding why or how that is possible. After reading many of these comments I find comfort in knowing that it is not just me or something I did, and can now conclude that I shouldn't continue the next two doses. | I understand that everyone's body reacts different however the fact is that there are many of us on here that are experiencing the same problem and to the same degrees of discomfort. I recommend to those who have not used this product to maybe think of some alternative methods and/or products | F | 23 | 1 days | 12/28/2006 | 5 | Second yeast infection | I have never experienced the burning and itching that has come with the first initial use of this product. But this has seriously worked for me now both times I've used it. I feel instant relief about 30 minutes after I start using it. My doctor recommended this product to me and said that the burning you feel is probably because the infection had been there for a while and/or the skin is raw and irritated. | F | 20 | 1 days | 4/28/2013 | 5 | Yeast Infection | First, I drink a cup of cranberry juice with a garlic tooth so I won't taste it and a little yeast pill called AZO, then I apply the ovule, this usually helps speed up the curing and prevents for any future "problems" :) hope it helps ! | F | 23 | 1 days | 2/6/2013 | 5 | yeast infection | Slight tingling | F | 21 | 1 days ovalune | 12/8/2012 | 5 | yeast infection | none | I am SO glad that I didn't read these comments prior to taking the medication. It would have scared me to kingdom come. Meanwhile, I think those who are scared or have experienced these symptoms should go the 7 day route. The medication is working great for me so far, and though I hope to never get another yeast infection...I will certainly keep all Monistat products in mind. Good luck to all of you searching for the right meds, and I hope everything works out for you! | F | 19 | 1 days 1X day | 4/24/2010 | 5 | Dr. recomendation | None | I was suffering with irritation. I assumed it was the Tide with Downy, but it wasn't because it did not go away. It got worse to the point I was in tears. I called my Dr. when it got to this point. I have't had a YI since I was a teenager so this didn't cross my mind. This worried me, because I'm not a sexualy active person, that's why I called my Dr. She told me I had a YI and to go to the store and purchase Monistat 3. It was so cold outside 10 degrees, 10:00 at night, but I had to do it. I came back home, inserted the suppository, recieved some releif, fell asleep, and woke up feeling great. I believe my last 2 treatments will have me back to normal. I'm a shower person, and when I read bubble baths can contribute to YI, I said that's where it came from. I decided to soak in bubbles one night, relax have a glass of wine,candles just pampering myself, and this is what I get, a YI. I love showers, and that is what I'm sticking to from this day forth. Thank you Monistat 3. I'm glad I tried this product before reading the feed back. I'm not 100% yet, but I beleive I will be by Friday. NO MORE BATHS FOR ME. GONNA SHOWER MYSELF WITH BUBBLES. | F | 54 | 1 days 3X day | 1/13/2011 | 5 | Yeast infection | It wasn't really a strong burning but it was definitely "warm" you are going to get some burning and irritation from using any kind of drug it all depends on how raw you already were, how naturally sensitive you are etc. Says right on the package that it's going to happen. I got the pack that had the ovules, cooling wipes, and external cream. Let me tell you those wipes took care of any initial irritation from the ovules and applicator. | F | 27 | 1 days | 11/23/2011 | 5 | YEAST INFECTION | INCREDIBLE AND HORRIBLE BURNING AND ITCHING ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES AFTER FIRST APPLICATION | I've only taken my first dose last night but I have used it once before when I was pregnant. The burning sensation is truly terrible and almost unbearable but it does work greatly. The symptoms get milder as the treatment progresses. What helps me get through it is that I keep thinking that the burning sensation is the medication working. Have you noticed that the women who have the most serious and scary and terrible complaints are older women, maybe this has a connection. Don't let these comments discourage you, it works greatly, most good things have a bad side effect and you have to feel bad before you feel better. | F | 23 | 1 days | 1/9/2009 | 5 | Self Diagnosed Yeast Infection | Very little itching, no burning. Nothing any worse than the symptoms of the infection. I had a very little bleeding the morning after but the insert says that you may have that. | When I was in high school I had a very mild yeast infection & don't really remember what I took or how I felt. This is my second one but I caught it at the very start. Before using the first aplication last night I read most of these postings & almost didn't use it because some of the experiences these other women had. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let it scare you into not using this product. I know everyone reacts to medications differently but talk to your Dr first if you have concerns. Its already working & I'm going to finish the treatment. | F | 23 | 1 days | 6/14/2008 | 5 | Yeast infection | Itching, leaking | I was really terrified to take this after reading some of the comments on here, but decided to go on with taking the monistat 3 ovules. I took my first ovule last night before bed and within about 20 minutes I had pretty intense itching. But that was it. I wasn't doubled over, I didn't feel like I was on fire. It just itched pretty bad. The next morning the itching was somewhat worse than the day before, but on other sites I read that the itching means that the medicine is working. I am about to use my second dose and I feel sooo much better than I did yesterday, the itching and soreness has definitely went away a little. I would have to say the worst part of this whole experience was the leaking that occurred during the night and for the better part of the next morning. | F | 20 | 1 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | Yeast infection | noticed a slight itchy burning sensation earlier in the day that progressed into an obvious YI. Got the medication on pharmacy recommendation. Cleaned the area with a wipe, and applied the cream. Stingy at first but more of a, "if it burns it's working" sensation. Inserted the ovule and had total relief within an hour. I will continue the treatment for the full 3 days. So far I'm happy with the results! | F | 27 | 1 days 1 | 10/26/2014 | 5 | yeast infection | I was completely freaked out reading these reviews and wasn't going to try the medicine at all, but I'm glad I did. I think that the people who had terrible burning and itching had skin that was irritated to the point of being raw and open. My yeast infection hadn't progressed to that point yet and I think that's why I didn't experience any negative side effects. | F | 20 | 1 days | 7/27/2014 | 5 | Yeast infection from antibiotics | Leakage | This is my 2nd ever yi and first time using monistat. I've been laying in bed for almost 2 hours now, prepared for extreme pain, because other reviews warned about "burning from hell". I haven't felt any discomfort so far, I just hope it really works. | F | 21 | 1 days 200? | 7/17/2016 | 5 | Suspected yeast infection | I was freaking out having never having a YI but I had extreme redness, horrible itching, which ultimatly lead to burning, and my discharge was thick! Never has this happened before, so online I go, going against all warnings about not using product if you have never had a YI before, I had to try! I got the 3 day, upon insertion of the first " egg " for the first 30min-hr the itching and burning got noticibly worse, it all depends on your pain tolerance I suspect, but tolerable! I didnt lay down like everyone else, i kept it moving, which i had some leakage, but nothing major, by day 2 my symptoms have completely dissipated, so Im not sure if I should continue, but I will! I will recommend this product without hesitation! People complain about a burn, Im more concerned with the red swelling and itching, devil ass burning with a side of thick pasty discharge that was there pryor to this miracle "egg" ! If you can suck up a little pain or discomfort, try it, and say "bye, bye" to funk of your YI! Granted all resullts are different, but who knows until you try! Thanks Monistat 3 , saved me from the spread eagle procedure at the costly gyno! ❤️ | F | 36 | 1 days | 7/28/2016 | 4 | yEast infection | This is my 2nd yeast infection.. The first time I had to go to my gyno and she gave me 1 dose of Difulcan which cleared it up immediately. This time I had the same symptoms so I treated it with Monistat 3. The first night I inserted the suppository it burned and itched SO bad for the first 20 min. It was bearable though. 2nd and 3rd night.. No issues. It did take a full seven days however to clear up all symptoms. Hope this helps!! | F | 21 | 1 days 200MG | 11/10/2015 | 4 | Yeast infection | First yeast infection, never used tampons before so I was slightly scared to use the applicator but it wasn't too bad. After applying the anti itch cream and inserting the cream I laid down and began feeling a burning sensation. Bearable, but uncomfortable. It kind of feels like icy hot in a way, after about 20 minutes the burning lessened and began to give a little bit of relief. Hopefully day 2 and 3 are better. | F | 19 | 1 days | 1/28/2016 | 4 | yeast infection | None | I was expecting the worst after reading about how badly this product burned everywhere on the internet, despite having used it once many years ago. I have what I believe to be a mild but lingering yeast infection and upon the first usage, I had no side effects. It will come out of you when you go #2 however, even 24 hours later, which is somewhat annoying but obviously unavoidable. | F | 37 | 1 days 1X day | 2/9/2016 | 4 | YI | I just took the first dosage and although it is very uncomfortable, the discomfort is not worse than prior to taking the medicine. After about 30 min the burning and discomfort went away. Although it is very uncomfortable at first stick with it and you will experience relief. | F | 23 | 1 days | 2/4/2014 | 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 1x | 11/8/2014 |
