PAIN

[mrshellion.livejournal.com]

I am using Monistat 7 cream for a yeast infection. This is day two. It began late Monday, but I was unable to start the treatment until Tuesday night. When I put it in last night, the pain and itching in the vulva was so bad, I barely slept. Today it was feeling better. I barely scratched it at all. Tonight (I just put it in) the irritation is monumental. I am grinding my teeth and on the verge of tears.

Is this normal? I've used Monistat 7 in the past and I cannot remember it being this bad. Should the post-application itching be this awful?

Thanks guys...

NO it shouldn't. Discontinue use immediately and call your doctor.

I used this kind of treatment a few years ago with no problem, but a few months ago when I used it I cried from the pain. My DOCTOR never told me that people who are allergic to sulfa-based drugs (are you?) or other substances can often have an adverse reaction to Monistat and other like treatments. Even when I told my doc this reaction, she had NO idea what caused it. The pharmacist right away told me this was the problem.

Take it out right now, rinse yourself well, soak in a bath if you can, put on some hydrocortisone cream, and ask your doc for a prescription of Diflucan, and tell the doc about this problem!!!

Good luck.

I had this problem, except it wasn't a yeast infection i had, i had vaginosis (sorry butchering a spelling), the symptoms can be the same but it hurt so bad to put in the cream i had to call my doctor. I ended up having to take some medication orally for it, definately get it checked out.

It caused me SO MUCH PAIN!!! Now I only take Diflucan which works pretty quickly but is a pill by presciption.

I'm allergic to sulfa- causes the itching you describe ALL over my body. All I can use is diflucan.

Thank you so much for posting this. I thought I was the only one. I used Monistat awhile ago and had no problems, this year I tried to use it twice and had severe burning and itching. I wondered if it was because the formula was three day instead of seven day, but now I think it is just that I am sensitive down there. In general my body is very sensitive.

yeah, i would definitely go to the doctor. while there may be nothing wrong with the cream but there could be something worse wrong with you. some other type of infection probably. :D Good Luck!
