Tablets to restore the flora of the vagina
Microflora is the vital activity inside our body, in various systems and organs. And the female reproductive organs are no exception. In the normal microflora, certain microorganisms coexist and interact: lactobacilli, bifidobactria and the vagina's own cells. These microorganisms always fluctuate in the same ratio. When this balance falls, the quantitative composition of microorganisms changes, the microflora is disturbed and dysbacteriosis (dysbiosis) of the vagina occurs.

Symptoms
Violation of the microflora of the vagina is mostly asymptomatic. If the disease has acquired a neglected form, then the following unpleasant moments may occur:
- profuse discharge with an unpleasant odor;
- itching, burning inside the vagina;
- dryness and redness of the genitals.
When these symptoms appear, you should immediately visit a gynecologist so that he prescribes special pills to restore the vaginal microflora.
Reasons for violation
A decrease in the number of beneficial bacteria and the reproduction of pathogens can be triggered by various factors:
- hypothermia;
- frequent change of partners in sexual life;
- hormonal disruptions, including pregnancy or menopause;
- environmental change;
- non-observance of hygiene rules;
- intestinal dysbacteriosis;
- long-term use of antibacterial agents;
- genital infections.
There are a lot of reasons, mostly quite banal, so no woman is immune from such an unpleasant situation.
Confirmation of the diagnosis
In no case should you make a diagnosis yourself, because self-medication can lead to disastrous consequences. It is necessary to seek help from a specialist who will conduct all the studies. The doctor will conduct an examination in the gynecological chair, take a swab for pathogenic microflora and prescribe a blood test to determine hormones. When all the results are ready and the diagnosis is confirmed, only then will pills be prescribed to restore the vaginal flora.
Stages of therapy
In normal cases, treatment is carried out in two stages:
- Elimination of pathogenic microflora inside the vagina. Preparations are prescribed that contain different active substances, depending on the detected infection.
- antifungal:
In the case of a fungal infection, specialists prescribe such tablets to restore microflora in gynecology, such as Flucostat or Diflucan. The main active ingredient in these drugs is fluconazole, which fights the fungus. It is very good because it does not disrupt the processes of the liver, unlike other substances that destroy the fungal structure. And there are few contraindications for drugs based on fluconazole. An important point is the fact that this medicinal component is approved for use from the age of three. Violation of the microflora of the vagina can be affected not only by sexually mature women, but also by girls and girls. Therefore, the issue of age limit is very important.
There are other drugs, for example: Clotrimazole, Livarol, Nystatin. Each medicine contains its own active ingredient. Before use, it is necessary to consult a doctor and familiarize yourself with contraindications.
- antiseptics and antibiotics:
They are prescribed depending on the detected infection. The most proven drugs are Betadine or Terzhinan. These drugs kill pathogenic bacteria and viruses, destroying their structure.
"Betadine" is an iodine-based drug. Very active against many types of infections, has a wide range of effects. Indicated for use even in adolescents, but not allowed for patients with thyroid problems.
"Terzhinan" - this drug has no contraindications, only individual intolerance. Patients also did not complain about side effects. Perhaps the use during menstruation, which is also a significant factor.
An antibiotic such as Clindamycin is also recommended. It is convenient in that it will suit any woman according to her preferences, as it is available in the form of a solution, capsules, cream and suppositories. Not prescribed during pregnancy.
- Restoration of normal microflora and strengthening of the immune system of the female body. To do this, use products that contain beneficial bifido - and lacto - bacteria. Modern pharmacology produces a lot of such drugs, for any preference.
- candles (suppositories):
"Bifidumbacterin" is the most common drug containing bifidobacteria. Lactobacterin contains active lactobacilli.
"Lactocide" - an analogue of "Lactobacterin", is prescribed at the discretion of the attending physician.
The preparations "Acilact", "Vagikal", "Estriol" are similar to the above and mainly contain lactobacilli and the female hormone estriol, which is responsible for the growth and health of vaginal epithelial cells. The convenience of suppositories lies in the ease of insertion and the gentle effect on the delicate and sensitive tissues of the vagina.
- pills:
"Lactogin" - brings the flora of the vagina back to normal and restores the balance between beneficial microorganisms and the cells of the female genital organs, has a mild effect.
"Vaginorm" - has a very fast period of action, recreates the normal pH-acidity, thereby enabling the reproduction of lactobacilli. It is allowed to use during the menstrual cycle. Contains a high dose of ascorbic acid, therefore, with increased sensitivity to it, the use of the drug is contraindicated. Otherwise, there are practically no restrictions.
"Gynoflor" - contains lactobacilli and the hormone extriol, which is so important for women's health. Reduces pH by increasing the acidity of the vaginal environment, in which pathogens cannot survive. The downside of the drug is that it has quite serious contraindications, therefore, it is prescribed only by a doctor and exclusively to sexually mature women.
The principle of action of these drugs is the same in one way or another - a high content of beneficial bacteria. They have a more irritating effect on the vaginal mucosa due to their dry surface.
- another type of medicines is capsules for restoring microflora in gynecology:
"Ecofemin" - contains live lactobacilli, is not allowed to be used during menstruation, but it is noteworthy that simultaneous administration with antibiotics and chemotherapy is possible.
"Vagilak" - in addition to lactobacilli contains active streptococcus, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. Cannot be used in the presence of erosion and is prohibited in childhood. Activity does not decrease even with the combined use of antibiotics.
"Laktozhinal" - most often prescribed as a means to restore microflora after long courses of antibiotics, contains very active lactobacilli.
"Laktonorm" - the use is advisable for incipient or progressive vulvitis, vaginitis, as well as before reproductive operations.
The main character is the content of lacto- and bifidobacteria. Convenience in the smooth form of preparations, quick dissolution and mild impact.
- a type of not very popular forms of drugs - gel:
"Floragin" - moisturizes, helps to normalize pH, eliminates odors and softens the mucous membranes.
"Salvagin" is an excellent antiseptic, restores pH-acidity, restores the balance of microorganisms.
Due to the fact that this form has not gained sufficient popularity, such drugs are not widely represented in pharmacies, which does not detract from the dignity of the drugs.
Pregnancy and the problem of microflora restoration
Violation of the microflora of the vagina during pregnancy is far from uncommon. The most important thing is not to make a mistake in choosing drugs for treatment. A gynecologist will definitely prescribe good and correct pills to restore microflora in women whose pregnancy he observes.
The choice of such drugs is not so great. Medicinal products containing normoflorins B and L are considered the safest for the fetus. The main indicator is the use in a hospital under the supervision of a physician. This is a fundamental factor, which is not a contraindication for the drug, but only protects the mother and the child she bears.
Of the drugs recommended during pregnancy, it should be noted "Vagisan", "Laktonorm" and "Vagilak". These are probiotics, absolutely safe for the fetus and the future woman in labor.
Prevention
In case of violation of the microflora of the vagina, recommendations for prevention, as such, are difficult to formulate. It is important to follow the basic rules of hygiene, maintain immunity, follow dietary measures and not catch a cold. But, every woman may have unforeseen circumstances that cannot be prevented. The main task is to prevent relapse, as with any disease. To do this, it is important to carefully monitor your health, visit a gynecologist on time and regularly. Doctors specializing in women's health recommend using special gels for intimate hygiene, such as Lactacid - it contains lactic acid necessary for microflora. Or Epigen - it contains glycyrrhizic acid, which effectively fights pathogenic bacteria.
