I have suffered from chronic yeast infections, likely from OCP use and a course of vancomycin I took 3 years ago. Because Monistat burned in the past, I typically turned to tioconazole 1 day. I've come to realize however, that these 1 day treatments never truly eradicate yeast fully, contributing to recurrent infections that are more resilient. I've tried literally every home remedy, to no avail (...

I used this just yesterday. It started burning immediately. I urinated pushing all of it out that I was able to. I woke in the am and douched to make sure I cleaned it all out. I feel fine today.

I'm not allergic to anything.. Never had issues with any meds ever. This was the most horrible experience I've ever had. Severe burning pains. I wish I read the reviews before taking this.. Although, I probably would have still tried it, but I never would've imagined anything like this. I cried myself to sleep after about an hour, woke up the next morning feeling normal until I went to the restroom, then back again. I had to call off work, hardly can walk. Called my dr and got a script for something else. I didn't have to go in, just call your dr, don't put yourself thru this inbareable pain!!Read More Read Less

This was absolutely HORRIBLE. I will never ever again use this. Burning and itching almost instantly and unbearably. I was practically in tears within 5 minutes after using it.

I just took Monistat 7 for my first yeast infection in two years. I had used this product several times in the past with no side effects and with success, but this time I had instant, severe burning pain. I didn't think I was going to be able to sleep or even get through work the next day. I started reading reviews about this product, and severe burning is apparently pretty common, despite what this site says about it being rare. Some women have suffered severe chemical burns as a result of using this product. I read one review from a previous victim of this product who advised to immediately get one of the applicators and rinse out with warm water to avoid long-term side effects from letting this fire-medicine sit inside of you all night. I did that immediately and the burning pain eased. I am going to call my OB tomorrow morning (I am pregnant and used this product as per my OB's medical advise) and find out if there is another solution for curing yeast infections. But please take the advice I took and RINSE THIS MEDICINE OUT IF IT BURNS!!! No one wants a chemical burn up in her little girl!Read More Read Less

Severe burning and itching. I've used this product before and didn't experience this problem. It is practically unbearable. I see where many others are experiencing the same problem.

Very easy to use although a bit messy. Within 15 minutes of application, I experienced intense itching in and around my vagina. I tried sticking it out for a couple of hours. The itching turned to burning, so I took a bath to remove the cream. I tried again the next day and the itching burning started earlier than it had during the first application. I was too scared to try it a third time.

I have tried the cream before, but the burning was unbearable. This time I got the vaginal suppository. No burning! The infection cleared up quickly.

Please do not use this. I am pregnant and my doctor has messed up on my precription twice. I got tired of waiting for him to get it right so I decided to buy monistat 7 day.I incerted the first application last night and my insides feel like they were burned with a curling iron. I will be changing my doctors because I am more hurt that I have caused myself pain due to his mistakes.

The first time I used this medicine it burned like hell but after a few hours it subsided. The next few days the burning lasted for about 20 minutes and it itched like crazy but I'm satisfied because I'm seeing results and feeling so much better!

Ouch, ouch, OUCH!!!! First of all, I am 6 1/2 months pregnant so this was the only thing that I could take. The nurse told me I had to take Monistat 7, only 7. Last night was the first night I took it and holy hello, I laid in bed rolling back and forth and crying because it burned SOOOO bad. It felt like I lit a match and inserted it. I normally wake up once a night to use the bathroom. I was up about five or six times last night and would just stay on the toilet because getting up caused more burning and severe pain. I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone. Taking it made me feel WORSE than I felt before. I am going to my family doctor today to hopefully get some help. This was a huge waste of money and I am completely disappointed (to say the least). I laid in bed crying until I cried myself to sleep. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE product! And it is now about 12 hours later and it STILL burns!Read More Read Less

If you are a big girl, its difficult to insert with out the stick falling out, and once you get it in it burns and itches like fire in your crotch. I didnt even have syptoms before putting it in, dr made me.

The first night I used this product everything went fine. But the last night and this night was absolutely horrible! I can't sleep because of the intense itching and burning on my who-ha. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone and will discontinue use, this cannot be normal or healthy.

the very first time I have every had a YI. i think it was becasue of being at a party with a hot tub. this was very easy to use, for first time users insert slowly and as far inside as you can..the first time I was nervous and didn't insert all the way. Make sure thta you use a panty liner or you will have a mess the next day!

I have interstitial cystitis and am very sensitive in my girls parts. While inserting the applicator, it felt like I was being clawed at from the inside. Approximately thirty minutes after inserting the cream, I experienced intense burning in my vagina. I also used the external cream, which caused intense burning. This product obviously works wonderfully for many women, but it can mke things much worse for those of us with extreme sensitivities.
