| 3 | yeast infection :( | Slight burning and itching like crazy! | Well this is my first time ever having a yeast infection and I hope to God I never have one of these things again! I felt an strong* itch more than anything.. the burn I can deal with but the itch was unbelievable! I'm only on my first dose and I really want this thing to be gone... I don't mean to be a baby but it sucks, never again!!! | F | 17 | 1 days | 6/5/2009 | 4 | YI | None on suppositories. | F | 25 | 3 days | 5/5/2009 | 5 | Yeast Infection (Soreness/Itching) | Slight burning right after I inserted the ovule. It went away after 5 minutes. | This is my second dose, and I almost feel like I'm back to my old self again. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, maybe you should try Monistat 7. It takes longer but it is a lower dosage. | F | 27 | 2 days | 4/30/2009 | 4 | Mild burning, severe itching , and thick white vaginal discharge | I notice that almost every woman mentions not seeing the side effects on the box. IT IS NOT ON THE BOX!!!!!! it's on the instruction sheet that comes in side under SIDE EFFECTS. I admit it is uncomfortable at first but very bearable. | F | 19 | 1 days | 4/11/2009 | 4 | 1st yeast infection (dr recommend) | None that were out of the ordinary... just slight cramping (no more than what I would get when I'm on my period). Also, I was pretty tired by yesterday afternoon. I'm taking the 3 day ovule inserts, and tonight would be my 3rd night. So far everything seems good. Medicine seems to be working. | The only few recommendations that I have about this product are that you probably have to take it right before you go to bed. Otherwise, if you stand too long after you start using.. then there will be more leakage. Definitely wear pantyliners while using this product. Also, the only other concern about it is that the ovule applicators don't come individually wrapped. The ovules with the medicine are wrapped, but the applicators aren't. | F | 20 | 3 days | 4/7/2009 | 2 | yeast infection | Horrible burning!!!!! | I can't believe the girls on here saying to "suck it up". | F | 24 | 2 days | 4/1/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | severe severe severe burning and pain both inside vagina and out. | I just got back from the emergency room it was so bad. I gave it a 10 on the pain scale and have never been in so much pain in my life. It felt both like my vagina was on fire and like I was being eaten alive. I was prescribed Benadryl and Vicodin and after taking both am finally starting to feel a little better, but it was 3 and a half hours of blinding pain. I was sobbing hysterically nearly the whole time. It works for some people, but my doctor prescribed it to me earlier today and even she seemed to have no concept of what would happen. Just be wary. | F | 21 | 1 days | 4/1/2009 | 5 | Yeast infection | Really Monistat 3 is very good.This is my second experience, using monistat.First time, i used Monistat 7.Monistat 7 is a slow process.i cant adjust the infection for 7 days.So,the 2nd time i used monistat 3,within that 3days, i got relief .It was completely cured. | F | 23 | | 3/30/2009 | 4 | Late-diagnosed yeast infection | Mild burning, itching around vagina. | This is my first time having a yeast infection and first time using Monistat 3. I wasn't sure if something was wrong because I only experienced pain during sex and when I peed afterward, but after reading about symptoms online and on the Monistat box, I knew I had a Y.I.. Just used the first tube last night. I didn't want it leaking all over so I put a few throw pillows under my legs and fell asleep on my back. Didn't have any problems until about 2 o'clock in the morning when I woke up with a warm, itching sensation around my vagina and realized that some of the cream had begun leaking out. I just forced myself to go back to sleep and today I'm feeling much better(no burning or itching to speak of). Looking forward to being CURED after these next two nights. | F | 20 | 1 days | 3/5/2009 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I'm still itching 3 days after my last treatment | The cream to aid with itching works..however I am still itching and it's been 3 days after my last treatment..how long am I supposed to itch for? I don't smell or anything..It's just this itching..Ugghhh..so I'm about to try the 7 day..just to see if this works instead | F | 27 | 3 days | 3/2/2009 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Mild burning from the vulva cream. | I was on antibiotics for a UTI and soon after I had all the symptoms of a yeast infection. I went and bought the Monistat 3 (ovule form) and read about it on here before I took it. What everyone was saying scared me, but I knew I had to take it. From what it seems, the generic brand of Monistat 3 seems to create a burning and itching sensation more than the actual version. I suggest inserting it as far up as possible for best results and wearing a panty liner or small pad for leakage. People commented on how the cream that comes with it burns and itches horribly. Most woman are putting the cream on broken skin so of course it is going to sting a bit. I only put a little bit on and it barely stung. | F | 18 | 3 days | 2/12/2009 | 5 | mild yeast infection | none, very mild burning the first night | This is my first experiance with yeast infection.I was scared to death reading the experiences of other women for monistat3. I called my dr and begged her to prescribe me the oral medicine, she explained me how this medicine would just deal with the area effected and it is not a good idea to take a medicine orally and get all kinds of harmful chemicals in my blood stream specially when it is not required. I had no choice and i was sobbing badly before trying it as i thought it would hurt. But to my amazement I was totally fine. A very mild burning was there the 1st night and even in morning. My itching was completely gone. Today is my 2nd night and no burning or itching. I think people who had bad experience were maybe allergic to medicine or had a pretty bad infection. Also, maybe they had scratched themselves too much and that caused more burning when medicine was applied. Best of luck and yes please don't be scared. NOT EVERYONE HAS HAD A BAD EXPERIANCE. | F | 31 | 3 days | 2/2/2009 | 4 | yeast infection | moderate to severe burning, pain, soreness (my fist experience)...mild itching, it was MORE the soreness and burning that bothered me throughout the treatment, especially when i urinated. it was too painful for me to stand, walk, especially sit during the 1st and 2nd day of treatmet. | honestly, Monistat3 did not really help soothe any of my symptoms the 1st day/night. BUT by the 2nd and last treatment i was feeling much better. it was really painful with constant soreness during the beginning of my treatment, but by the 3rd/4th day i had minimal to no itching, pain or soreness. the only thing that was still bothering me by my 4th/5th day was the slight bleeing, and mild burning when i urinated. (but i think this is due to the treatment and just needs time for the vaginal to heal). TAKING MONISTAT3 WAS PAINFUL BUT ONLY BECAUSE I THINK IT NEEDED TO KILL OF THE INFECTION THAT WAS INFESTING THE SKIN CELLS. IN THE END I'M HAPPY I TOOK MONISTAT3. | F | 25 | 3 days | 1/25/2009 | 2 | yeast infection | extremely severe burning where I put the cream, and also inside the vagina. Painful and felt very uncomfortable. | I have the 3 day monistat pill and I have used Monistat 7 (wax-like suppositories) and those had no side effects (but it didnt cure the yeast infection either). My doctor recommended M3 and I am worried about taking the second and third dosage. I think they need to clearly state on the outside box about this side effect because the box only said that 'mild burning' may occur. | F | 26 | 3 days | 1/23/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | I literaly feel like jumping out of my body.I have never experienced discomfort like this in my life. never use his product unless you feel like putting your head through a wall | F | 21 | | 1/22/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | Horrific itching and mild burning on first and second application. It lasted for hours and was truly awful. The morning after my second treatment, I had light bleeding and I'm quite sure it's from the irritation of this "treatment." | They should have a warning on the box about the itching and burning. They should have info on the box about whether it's okay to stop this treatment after 1 or 2 days - or, if like an antibiotic, we're supposed to keep going to avoid making things worse. Seriously, they have no helpful info on the box whatsoever! | M | 40 | 2 days | 1/18/2009 | 1 | Mild yeast infection - self diagnos | HORRIBLE itching!!!!! | I never expected to EVER feel that much discomfort!!! HORRIBLE! It may work for some people, but I will NEVER use it again! I'm going to get Diflucan, I haven't heard anyone complain about itching from taking that. | F | 1 days | 1/17/2009 | 4 | mild yeast infection | Very mild burning. | I wanted to post a comment on here because I had very bad side effects from taking Monistat 1 a year ago. With Monistat 1 I experienced the extremely painful burning that other women have mentioned. I had a MUCH better experience with Monistat 3. I've done one day of treatment so far, and I was expecting to wake up in the middle of night in pain, and I never did. | F | 24 | 1 days | 1/15/2009 | 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 | 2 | Yeast Infection | I agree with these other ladies...you people who say not to be so dramatic are ridiculous! The pain and itching I felt the first time I used it was awful! I almost took myself to the ER. Nowhere on the box does it state that this will occur, so I thought surely there is something wrong! It says mild itchiness may occur. Mild my a**! This was bad! but I have to say, it seems like it is working. | F | 22 | 3 days | 1/7/2009 |
