Like many other people here, this medication made everything so much worse for me. The itching from the yeast infection is annoying, and I relieved it with some diluted vinegar, but thought that might not be enough.

Like many other people here, this medication made everything so much worse for me. The itching from the yeast infection is annoying, and I relieved it with some diluted vinegar, but thought that might not be enough. I had a couple yeast infections before this, mostly back when I was a teenager. A couple of days ago I noticed the symptoms, first the itching and then the tell-tale "cottage cheesy" discharge. The diluted vinegar made everything feel so much better, but it's not very convenient, especially since you should do it 2-3 times a day. So, I got this quick 1 day treatment. That was such a bad idea. A couple hours after inserting it, my vulva started itching again, which I just figured was the YI symptoms. A few minutes later my vagina (inside) started burning really bad. I have a high pain tolerance, and this was bad. After several minutes of this intense burning I had to do something, so I washed everything out with vinegar again. Almost instantly when I got all of the medication out, the burning subsided. It doesn't even itch anymore. I definitely advise anyone who uses this and experiences the burning to get the medicine out of your vagina. You will probably feel better once it is out.

This medication, like others like it (miconazole, ticonazole, butoconazole, etc.) can, and likely will cause some pretty nasty external burning when you use it. Why shouldn't it? Peroxide burns when you put it on a cut, right? I just grit my teeth and bear it, because if you use it before bed, it goes away before you wake up. Better than a yeast infection any day. Before a week's time, I'm good as ... Show Full Comment

Before a week's time, I'm good as new. I get these infections less than twice per year.

I bought this product on a whim because my YI was getting so bad that I couldn't stand the itching and pain anymore. So I went to Dominicks and picked up Monistat 1.

I bought this product on a whim because my YI was getting so bad that I couldn't stand the itching and pain anymore. So I went to Dominicks and picked up Monistat 1. When I came home I started reading reviews on here and was terrified about the pain people were having. After 5 minutes of debating if I wanted to do it, I finally went ahead and did it. I inserted the ovule,which did cause some discomfort since my vagina opening was so swollen, and applied some of the creme to the itchy parts and immediately went to bed. I didn't wake up at all. There was NO PAIN whatsoever. And I think I feel a lot better. My labia and clit are still swollen and a bit sore but I'll use the itchy creme for that. Overall I am really pleased with this product.
