Preparations for restoring the flora of the vagina
The flora of the vagina is an important component of a woman's health. The microflora contains a certain amount of beneficial bacteria, which are represented by lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and other beneficial bacteria. A ninth of the vagina is inhabited by lactobacilli, and one part is divided between bifidobacteria and opportunistic bacteria, which, under a certain environment, do not bother a person. With hypothermia or a change in pH, the transition of conditionally pathogenic bacteria into pathogenic ones is possible.
Responsibility for the well-being of the internal environment in women is borne by lactobacilli, which are responsible for local immunity and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Together, beneficial bacteria boost immunity. An imbalance of microorganisms, a change in the quantity and quality of beneficial bacteria causes vaginal dysbacteriosis.

Symptoms and causes of violation of the flora
Symptoms of changes in microflora include:
- itching due to vaginal dryness;
- bad smell;
- change in discharge from whitish to yellowish;
- pain during intercourse.
When the first signs of a violation appear, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist to clarify the diagnosis and correct treatment. The doctor will prescribe what drugs are needed to restore the microflora. If the cause is an infection, then the doctor prescribes antibacterial drugs, after which means are prescribed to normalize the flora of the intimate zone of women and strengthen local immunity.
Violation of the flora is possible for various reasons.
Causes:
- taking antibiotics and antimicrobials;
- intestinal dysbacteriosis;
- transferred diseases that are sexually transmitted: chlamydia, mycoplasma, candida, gardnerella;
- women after menopause;
- violation of personal hygiene;
- diseases of the female genital organs;
- climate change;
- changes in the hormonal environment (menstrual irregularities, pregnancy);
- hypothermia;
- stress;
- non-compliance with the rules for the use of tampons and pads.
After treatment of gynecological diseases with antibacterial agents, it is necessary to restore the internal environment with preparations to restore the microflora. Antibiotics kill both the pathogenic environment and lacto- and bifidobacteria. Having been treated for thrush, and without restoring the flora, it is again possible to attach an infection, since there will be no bacteria that raise immunity and protect against pathogens. That is why if, after treatment with antibacterial drugs, the vaginal environment is not restored, other gynecological infectious diseases are possible.
