I have used Monistat 1 a few times before and never had any problems. I got a yeast infection about a week ago and decided to try and treat it with yogurt. I used all natural goat's milk yogurt and that worked really well, but after a few days my vagina still felt a tiny bity itchy, so I decided to use monistat 1 as an extra precaution. I put it in around midnight and fell asleep, at 2am I woke up from the most horrible burning and itching I have ever felt down there. I put some of the external itch cream on, but that only made it worse. I went to the bathroom and washed everything off, but I was still burning. Then I decided to put more goat yogurt on because that really helped with the itching before. Lo and behold, the itching and burning subsided in about 5 minutes and I was able to fall back asleep. I will never take monistat again, I think I will use goat yogurt and garlic for any more vaginal yeast problem.
I used monistat maybe 4 hours ago and the outside and inside are burning very bad, I keep wiping thinking that it will get better but its not, put some powder on the outside about 10 mins ago, and felt some relief, but Im about to go get a douche from the drug store because I literally can not walk around and move because I AM SO FREAKING UNCOMFORTABLE ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. I THOUGHT MONISTAT WOULD WORK BETTER THAN ANYHTING. AND I ONLY USED ONE OF THE TUBES BECAUSE I FELT THE UPCOMING SIGNS OF AN INFECTION COMING AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT TO USE THIS ONCE. I WAS SO WRONG. I will never use this product again. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF CALLING MY GYNO'S OFFICE LEAVING A MESSAGE IN THE GENERAL MAILBOX TO SEE IF THEY WILL CALL ME BACK TO BE SEEN ANYTIME TOMORROW. iM GOING TO HAVE TO CALL OFF WORK. IM 22 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER EXPEREINCED ANY MEDICIATION WITH SUCH A HORRIBLE SIDEEFFECT, IT REALLY SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE SHELVES.
i just used monistat 1 and it burns a little bit but it is bearable...i'm thinking maybe its from me scratching the hell out of myself down there but i don't know i hope it goes away
Hello, I have had irritation/burning for over 2 years.. The doctors say it is some type of vulvodynia... I did research and am not on vagifem, which is a pill inserted vaginally.. It takes away the sy,ptoms, but still waiting for a cure... Hope this helps someone
I had a minor yeast infection and have used Monistat in the past with no problems. I used the 3 day treatment and as soon as I put it in I had HORRIBLE itching and burning. I was almost crying it was so bad. I douched with tap water to get all the cream out and felt much better after that but am still experiencing burning a few hours later.
Thank you sooo much for posting this remedy!!!! At nine months pregnant, I started to develop some irritation and itching, so I picked up Monistat at the drug store. After inserting it, I went to sleep, and got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I thought I was going to die. I have NEVER experienced that much pain in my whole life. How this product is still on the market is beyond me. I got on the computer and started to google anything to do with Monistat, that's when I read your post. At 2AM, I'm pulling into my 24hr Walgreen's to buy four douches. Worked like a charm, was able to sleep the rest of the night. Thank you!! I had no idea what to do.
I woke up this morning to the same thing - swelling - burning and when I sit down I am in such pain. The only comfort is lying down so I am not sitting on my "female area"& cool/warm baths which you are not to do when you have a yeast infection. I think this is a reaction to the Monistat 1 because it is such a strong dose in comparison to the 3 or 7 day options. Never again - I am miserable.
I am also experiencing the burning from monistat 1. I've been up hours crying because of it when I too decided to Google it. I've got to go to work tomorrow and don't have time for this. I need to be sleeping. I'm going to try to get it all out of me as the last post described and sit in a cool bath. I know one thing.....I will NEVER EVER EVER buy this product EVER again!!!!!!!
