If you are reading this you are probably familiar with yeast infection symptoms and are looking for a way to get rid of it. You will also agree with me that yeast infections are embarrassing and sometimes very painful. Of course there are various solutions to get rid of it. The medications are either in the form of home remedies, prescription drugs and over the counter medicine like Monistat 7.

If you are interested in trying Monistat 7 you should be aware that it comes in three formats or should I say dosage. First you can buy Monistat 1 which is a one day treatment suppository. Then you have Monistat 3 which you use for three consecutive nights and then there is Monistat 7 which works in the same way. You should be aware that all of those over the counter medicine contains nitrate and miconazole.

By writing this article I really want to you be fully aware of what could happen to you by using over the counter medicine like Monistat 7. Since this medication is in the form of a suppository that you need to insert in your vagina I would highly recommend that you read completely the various warnings that are provided with this medicine. There as been claims of brutal and painful side effects related to the use of this medication to treat your yeast infections.

Of course side effects vary from one person to another but some of the worst side effect that comes back on a regularly basis are intense itching and burning sensation. Some have even experienced abdominal pain and bleeding. I would highly recommend consulting your doctor before starting a full course of Monistat 7 treatment.

You probably heard of many people who told you that Monistat 7 helped them get rid of their yeast infections maybe you are reading this because of such people. But you should be aware that there is probably an equal amount of women who suffered from severe and intense torturous pain over the period of time they used Monistat 7.

Your doctor should be fully aware of the possible side effects that may results from using Monistat 7. I highly suggest gathering as much information as possible about Monistat 7, information such as the dosage amount you need to take for the different product.

Here is an example of the kind of information you could gather before seeing your doctor and before starting the treatment of course.

Monistat 7:

- Dosage = 20 Milligrams (one dose)

- Inserted in the Vagina at Bedtime

- Need to be continued for seven consecutive nights

With this information your doctor should have enough information to help you decide whether you should try it or not.

Another important thing you must be aware of with Monistat 7 is that there is a period of usage. You can find these warnings within the documentation given with the medication. If for any reason your yeast infection is not cured after that period you should consult your doctor. Your Doctor will then be able to inform you of other medication that can help you get rid of you vaginal yeast infection.

    Does Monistat yeast infection treatment make you itch?
    I’m treating myself for a yeast infection with Monistat.
    Tonight will be my third night in a row using the pre-filled creme suppositories.

    The symptoms are going away, there is not burning and almost no itching or irritation. EXCEPT for when I put in the creme at night. For some reason it starts to itch — like in the walls of my vagina — everywhere the creme is touching.

    QUESTION: Is the yeast infection treatment (Monistat creme) in this case supposed to make it itch? Is that like a side effect?
    And is it okay to buy 2 boxes of the 3-Day Monistat treatment and use it for like 4 or 5 days if i’m still having symptoms after the first 3 day pack is finished? (In other words is it okay to use more than one box of treatment?) Because I’m not sure that the yeast infections is 100% gone.

    Thanks for the help!

    The itch and very slight burn starts at the base/ opening of my vagina and runs all the way up (to what feels like) behind my navel.

    It’s not an intense itching, but definitely noticeable and extremely uncomfortable.

    AGAIN: Is this normal? What should I do?

    hmm i never had that problem with monistat… maybe you are having an allergic reaction. and yes i would say that it is fine to use two boxes but if it still isnt clear or comes right back then you need to see your dr. you might also want to ask your dr about the itching caused by the creme. good luck to ya
