I currently have a yeast infection and last night I used Monistat-1 around 8 o'clock and sat down to watch a movie with my husband. After the movie I went to pee and I then started to experience the worst burning sensation I have ever felt in my life! It was from the Monistat-1! I could tell that whatever that drug touched inside of me was on fire so obviously the first thing I did was I had my husband Google to see if this was a normal reaction. I saw very soon that it was a common reaction, but that it was not a good reaction. I read a post in a forum from a lady that used it 4 months ago and had this reaction too. SHE IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE BAD REACTION. THIS STUFF DOES PERMANENT DAMAGE IF YOU REACT BADLY TO IT! ANOTHER FORUM SAID THAT 70 PERCENT OF WOMEN HAVE A BAD REACTION TO THE DRUG! Are you experiencing the same problem? Here is what you do: GET THAT c**p OUT FROM INSIDE OF YOU! Around midnight I decided that the medicine had to get out of me whether I used a douche or whether I ripped out my insides. I hurt so bad. Where I live, all stores are closed around midnight and the closest place to get a douche was 30 minutes away. That is an hour trip there and back. I either had to make the trip with my husband and cry the whole way there and back from the pain and burning, wait for him to make the trip and cry all alone and be miserable, or make a home remedy. My husband started searching the kitchen for any type of needle-less syringe, or squirting device he could find. Finally, he remembered buying Monistat-7 as well for the paste inside the tubes for his penile yeast infection. He cleaned one of the tubes out and put warm water in it, inserted it all the way into my vagina and squirt it out really fast. Most of the medicine squirt out with the water. He did it a second time and got more out, he did it a third time and nothing more came out, he did it a 4th time just to be sure we got it all and sure enough, nothing more came out. Thankfully, we got it all. I won't lie though, when he squirt the water into my vagina, it hurt like crazy and I started crying even more. That may be because we didn't use a solution of water and vinegar though. Either way, that evil stuff was out of me and within 5 minutes the burning reduced to what it was before I used the medicine. I was able to sleep all night. It was a miracle. Please, anyone who has this problem, get it out of you. Do not let the medicine sit inside of you and eat you alive. Use whatever you can, just get it out of you. Spread my story and instructions to every female health care forum on the web! I don't want anybody else to go through the pain that I went through and not take care of it! Best of luck to anyone suffering from Monistat-1. Jay21310
God bless you lady for posting this. I had a terrible reaction to the Walmart brand of Monostate (Equate). Same medicine, same reaction. See a Dr.? You put this stuff in when you go to bed and then you're up all night burning, on fire! Some of us can't afford a Dr., that's why we use the over the counter c**p. By you mentioning squirting cool water into the vagina, helped me unbelievable. I had a squirt bottle in the house, and that did it. Ladies use a turkey baster if you have to, but get it out. Thanks again for posting this.
Glad to see that I am not alone..Yet sad at the same time
I get yeast infections about once a year or two and they are very mild.
I saw an advertisement for Monistat 1 and thought it might be nice to only have to insert one product,one time and be done with the whole thing,no messy applicators etc.
After I inserted the napalm(ovule) I was fine for about an hour and then it began,the intolerable itching,burning,swelling,PAIN SEARING PAIN.
When I wiped I noticed I am bleeding form my vulva becuase I am so swollen and the skin is CRACKING and weeping!I cannot sit still,I am writhing and withering in pain as I type.I was actually running in place earlier it hurt so bad I had to keep moving.I know I am not going to get any sleep when it feels I got kicked in the crotch one thousand times with aerating shoes .
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT EVER!
Oil helps after the shower to sooth the skin . It works and reply the additional
Discharge that may come out
This also happened to me! I was prescribed diflucan, but in efforts to relieve symptoms quicker I tried monistat 1. I thought I was immune to it since I've tried before and it worked fine-no burning. It's now going on 48 hours and starting to feel better-I used ibuprofen last night to ease the pulsing pain of my vulva and applied a generous amount of coconut oil to my labia and peritoneal. That made all the difference. I'm still getting discharge from the capsule-but it's starting to feel better. My friend, an ER Ob/gyn nurse, advised against flinching at all costs-she says it could make the yeast worse. I'm guessing warm water would be anyone's best bet. In the future I will use garlic, acidophilus, and coconut oil suppositories. You can find the recipe on line in a google search. Just don't douche!
What helped me alleviate the pain : Husband ran to the store and bought me a douche and I sat crying in the shower for the next hour trying to get the Monistat out of my body. Now it's day two, still have slight burning and my lady parts feel very dry, but I am no longer on fire. My tip, get it out before it's too late. If it starts hurting more than a slight tingle, don't wait for it to get worse because it will.
