I'm going thru the same thing as you. I experienced this around 5 years ago when I had my last yeast infection. I got really swollen, so I went to my Obgyn and she couldn't figure it out either so she called a friend (Doctor), and he recommended that I take Benedryl after using the monistat, and the swelling should go down....... Well by the next morning it did, and I was good-to-go! Unfortunately I forgot about that incident, and bought another monistat 1-day treatment this time, and now I'm currently going thru the same thing. The swelling make me very uncomfortable, not to mention painful. So I'm about to take Benedryl again, and make a note to NEVER use it again if this shall happen. I'm very sensitive as well, can't use regular tampons or pads, so I had to start buying organic products, and using "vagisil ph balance feminine wash," and that seems to be working. Good luck...... It's comforting to know that I'm not some alien that is allergic to everything lol

Hi I know this was over a year ago , but I was wondering how long did it take for your lesions and blisters to go away , I took Monistat 1 3 days ago . And got a full STD test , everything negative , but it hurts so bad when I pee and the blisters are still there . The doctors gave me some nystatin- tricolohome ( spell check) but it doesn't seem to be working , and no sooner than I used the Monistat I began getting blisters so bad !

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!! This is my first time ever using it and I'm 19 years old and my vagina looks like someone did the Kylie Jenner lip challenge on it! I had mild itching before I used the product (Monistat) and shortly after use my symptoms intensified!!! I nervously referred back to the box to read the side effects and that was a side effect listed BUT what was not listed was that my vagina would blow up like a f*****g hot air balloon . I do not not know how long this is going to last but I can't close my legs, it's uncomfortable to walk and my vagina burns! So with that being said use Monistat at your own risk but I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!

I just had the same issue! Finished a round of antibiotics for strep and had typical YI symptoms. Grabbed Monistat 1 thinking it would be an easy, quick fix. NOPE. Used it Monday night. Lots of burning & pain that night, but I figure it's just working its magic so I let it keep cooking. The swelling increases over the next day and on Wednesday everything is swollen 5x, I have blisters all over the place, inside vulva and basically anywhere I put the demon cream, I cry every time I pee, and I can't walk. I spend an hour laying on the shower floor crying, call in sick to work, and head (awkwardly) to the doctor. At the time I just thought it was world's worst YI and didn't attribute it to the Monistat since I had used the 3 day without issues in the past. Of course the doctor immediately thinks it's herpes. I get oral YI meds and Valtrex for my new herpes diagnosis. The next 5 days are agonizing both from a pain perspective & psych perspective while I wait for the test results and figure out how I'm going to tell my awesome new boyfriend. I miss 3 days of work and am basically bedridden for 4 days. Swelling is down ~20% on day 5, ~60% on day 6, and ~95% on day 7. Blisters almost completely healed on Day 8 with minimal pain. I have to stop the Valtrex after 3 days because it makes me super dizzy and at this point I have found this thread and am convinced I don't actually have the herp. Just as the pain finally stops and I can go back to work, I get my negative test results back! Best day ever.
I really really wish I had found this thread even earlier and douched immediately. I think my reaction lasted so long because it basically stayed in my body and continued to irritate me for days. Get it out ASAP!! As much as I had trouble believing at the time, it does actually get better and it is probably not herpes! Lots of ice, lots of ibuprofin, and lots of baths/showers.
Screw you Monistat...

I was taking Cipro for a UTI and about 4 days after my last dose I noticed symptoms of a yeast infection- cursing myself for forgetting to ask for diflucan when I was at the doctor, knowing this usually happens when I take Cipro. So I booked it to the store and got the 1 day over the counter knock off stuff, because it's all the same. OMG I felt relief that might after I inserted the ovule. But the next day, I was in so much pain. It burned and itched more than it did before treating it. Waste of a Saturday curled up on the couch grumpy and hating my body. Sunday woke up same thing. Finally took a benadryl to help with the swelling and it made a world of difference. I also found that even wearing cotton undies was irritatting. So I wore a maxi skirt and free flowed it the rest of the day at home and the relief finally came. Life can go back to normal now. But I think I will do the 3 day next time, I dont like being as irritable as it made me due to the discomfort of the swelling.

I am glad I found this because was about to head to ER. I have been on numerous antibotics off and on for 4 months. Noticed some discharge and some itching and picked up the one day Monistat insert. Used it about Midnight, and noticed it hurt when I sat down and everything felt swelled up. It started to burn very bad by midday, and found these posts. Thought I would be okay but never use them again but swelling and pain got worse. I'm post menopausal so dryness is a problem and I started thinking it could be up there for days, so tried the tampon thing and used lube. It hurt really bad inserting and taking out. It came out blood stained, so I know it has irritated me enough to cause bleeding but it was covered with what looked like the medicine. It know feels like my cervix is so swelled I literally can't sit. Think I will go buy a douche and Benadryl, but from my experience so far unless you have a really tough vagina go with the more mild 7 day or get the pill from Doctor. What a nightmare and hope it don't last for days!

I find this so bizarre that each of us had the same exact thing happen!!! A few days ago I started feeling uncomfortable, having clumpy discharge, and some minor burning when I urinate I immediately realized it was a yeast infection. Prone to them so I usually get Diflucan from my doctor however this was a Friday night and I wouldn't be able to go to the doctor I figured monistat would help so I went to cvs and purchased monistat 1. After getting out of the shower I inserted and started feeling better immediately. So the next morning (which was yesterday) I went to work and started feeling extremely uncomfortable again I began asking my close friends is this suppose to feel this way (this was my first time using it) and they each stated "yes that means it's working" one even stated "everything get worse before it gets better you're absolutely fine". So the day goes on and I continue to grow the discomfort feeling it had gotten so uncomfortable I went in the bathroom and removed my underwear. So I go home and I advised my husband it's really hurting can you take a look at it for me. Upon checking it was Terrible!!! It looked like my vag was inside out the lips of my vag were so swollen and and blister like looked like I was related to the elephant man. I immediately went to the er. When the doctor reviewed me the first thing she said was do you have a history of herpes? I began panicking of course because I didn't have a history of it. She had to get a vag swap for testing which was the worst pain everrrrrrr frankly because the inside of my vag was swollen it felt like someone was stabbing me. Once the results came back I didnt have any stds not even a yeast infection (terrible I know). So she put me on Benadryl and has been working absolutely fine. Lesson learned I will neverrrrrrr use monistat again and I will always get diagnosed before I assume

this was so helpful , I had the same exact thing happen and my physician tried to diagnose it as herpes! I took monistat and literally everywhere I applied it I ended up with a lesion and swelling in my vaginal glands.... i knew it couldn't be an STD as I had not been sexually actives in months! thank you so much for sharing your experiences ladies!
