Tablets for female infections. The most effective suppositories, antibiotics and tablets for inflammation for women

Vaginal suppositories, or suppositories, are a special dosage form that is used to treat local symptoms of various gynecological pathologies. They are intended for insertion into the vagina. Suppositories have gained popularity due to the fact that they are easy to use, quickly relieve symptoms of the disease and have virtually no side effects.

The composition of vaginal products includes the main synthetic medicinal substance, usually with antimicrobial, antifungal or contraceptive action, as well as auxiliary components of plant and animal origin - oils and fats. In combination with fats, manufacturers use cocoa butter, paraffin, gelatin, glycerin and other components that ensure rapid absorption into the vaginal mucosa.

The fat base for suppositories is necessary in order to maintain the shape of the preparation at room temperature and quickly melt inside the body. For vaginal suppositories, components are specially selected whose melting peak occurs at a temperature of 36-37°.

Vaginal gynecological suppositories are produced at pharmaceutical factories and pharmacies. They are given a spherical, ovoid or flat shape for ease of administration. The length of the suppository is 2-3 cm, and the weight is 4 g. Unlike rectal suppositories, this type of medicine is larger in size and refractory, which is associated with the anatomical structure of the vagina.

The dosage form helps women quickly get rid of disturbing symptoms that reduce their quality of life. For many gynecological diseases, vaginal suppositories are the basis of therapeutic treatment. They have a number of advantages, a list of which is given below:

act locally - directly on the site of inflammation and the vaginal mucosa;
the active substance does not pass through the stomach, therefore it does not lose some of its properties when absorbed; according to statistics, gastric juice neutralizes more than 70% of the active substances, and only 10-13% reaches the site of inflammation when taken orally;
suppositories are not metabolized in the liver and kidneys, which reduces the load on these organs;
the main substance of the suppositories is quickly absorbed into the blood and within 30 minutes reaches the concentrations necessary for treatment;
vaginal suppositories do not destroy the immune system and minimize possible allergic reactions;
installing candles takes only a few minutes and is not difficult;
the oil base reliably holds the drug on the mucous membrane, ensuring its effect on the source of inflammation.

Disadvantages of this method

Despite their harmlessness, vaginal tablets and suppositories are a medicinal product that must be treated with caution and strictly follow the instructions from the manufacturer or the recommendations of the attending physician. Vaginal suppositories have the following disadvantages:

they are prescribed with caution to women who suffer from severe chronic diseases: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, insufficient functioning of the thyroid gland;
the suppositories contain drugs that can harm women with their individual intolerance;
suppositories can be most effective only after an accurate diagnosis has been established, and for this it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive diagnostic examination;
Some of the drug may leak out and stain your laundry.

Vaginal suppositories are included in the group of products that are approved for over-the-counter sales. However, you should not treat them yourself. The disease can become more serious or chronic.

Is it possible to use rectal suppositories?

If vaginal and rectal suppositories contain the same active ingredient, for example, sea buckthorn extract, then in exceptional cases a replacement can be made.

Rectal suppositories containing papaverine, belladonna extract, and those intended for the treatment of hemorrhoids should not be inserted into the vagina.

Likewise, contraceptive vaginal suppositories should not be inserted into the rectum. They are completely ineffective there.

Advantages over other treatment methods

The following drugs are used to treat vaginal inflammation: special tablets, gels, capsules, tampons soaked in medicine from a syringe tube. Gynecologists consider suppositories to be the best dosage forms for local action. Why?

Irrigation of the mucous membrane from a syringe. The vagina has a folded structure, so when douching, the medicine does not reach some areas. For this procedure to have the desired effect, it must be performed on a gynecological chair using a dilator. At home, it is necessary to irrigate the mucous membrane for 10-15 minutes from a special syringe, which is very inconvenient, given that the course of treatment is at least 10 days.
Tampons impregnated with medicinal substances. The procedure is ineffective, since the medicine reaches only the lower parts of the vagina. The tampon closes the natural ventilation pathways of the upper sections and creates favorable conditions for the development of pathogenic flora.
Gels and ointments. Applying them on your own to the walls of the vagina is fraught with even more severe inflammation in a woman’s way, because you need to follow strict hygiene standards: cut off your nails, wash your hands well and treat them with antiseptics before starting the procedure. When applying the medicine from a syringe tube, it is impossible to distribute it evenly throughout the vaginal mucosa. This means that such treatment will not have the desired effect.

Vaginal suppositories do not have the above disadvantages. They are actively used in gynecological practice for treating diseases all over the world.

Types of medicinal product

Here is a list of vaginal suppositories:

Medicinal suppositories. If a smear on the pathogenic flora reveals the causes of the inflammatory process and the type of pathogen, then a course of treatment with vaginal suppositories, which have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, is prescribed. Currently, there are many drugs that suppress and destroy specific types of infections and relieve acute symptoms. As a rule, vaginal suppositories are prescribed in combination with other antimicrobial drugs. The course of treatment ranges from 5 to 14 days according to individual indications.
Contraceptive suppositories. They contain spermicides, which destroy the cell walls of sperm and immobilize them. Some drugs contain components that have antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal effects. Thus, suppositories not only protect against unwanted pregnancy, but also protect a woman from possible sexually transmitted infections during unprotected sexual intercourse. Contraceptive suppositories are inserted 10-15 minutes before sexual intercourse. Their effect lasts up to 4 hours. Each subsequent sexual intercourse requires the introduction of a new suppository.
Suppositories that restore vaginal microflora. The composition of the preparations includes probiotics, lacto- and bifidumbacteria. Their main goal is to suppress the growth of “bad” flora and populate the vagina with beneficial microorganisms - natural inhabitants responsible for women’s health. Depending on the state of the vaginal flora, suppositories are taken in several courses to consolidate the desired result.

Indications for use

The gynecologist prescribes the best vaginal suppositories based on a number of symptoms:

itching and burning in the vagina;
unpleasant odor;
profuse leucorrhoea and discharge;
dryness of the vaginal mucosa;
discomfort during sexual intercourse;
redness of the skin and inflammation of the external genitalia.

This group of symptoms indicates that there is an infection of the reproductive organs.

How can you independently assess whether you need specialist help and treatment?

Discharge normally ranges from 2 to 10 ml per day, its color is white or transparent, and with good hygiene there is no odor.
A woman should be alarmed that the discharge has become more abundant, it is either gray watery, or has the appearance of cheesy flakes, or it is a purulent discharge of a yellow-green color.
The main symptom of infection is the smell that appears shortly after hygiene procedures. It may be putrid, resemble rotten fish, or just plain smelly.

What pathologies of the reproductive organs lead to the appearance of a putrid odor? Let's list the names:

Vaginal dysbiosis. The state of dysbacteriosis leads to a shift in microflora towards pathogenic and opportunistic organisms of a wide spectrum, the rapid growth of which causes an unpleasant odor.
Thrush, or vaginal candidiasis. The growth of fungal flora leads to copious curdled discharge that has an unpleasant sour odor.
Colpitis. Inflammation affects the mucous membranes of the vagina and external genitalia. Most often, the disease is caused by coccal bacteria - streptococcus and staphylococcus, which leads to purulent discharge and a foul odor.
Gardnerellosis. The disease is caused by microorganisms - gardnerella, their development is accompanied by an odor similar to rotting fish.
Oncological processes in the uterus and fallopian tubes. This is a diagnostic sign of advanced stages of cancer.

If a woman notices at least one of these signs, then this is a reason to consult a gynecologist, undergo a diagnostic examination and a course of treatment, including vaginal suppositories.

Drug names

List of vaginal suppositories traditionally used in the practice of a gynecologist:

Clindacin. The main active ingredient of the drug is the antibiotic clindacin. It has a wide spectrum of action against pathogenic bacterial flora. The antibiotic destroys the walls of the infectious agent and deprives it of mobility. Suppositories are prescribed for the treatment of vaginitis, which is accompanied by inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and bacterial vaginosis caused by rod and coccal microflora. Another indication is gardnerellosis. Like any antibiotic, clindacin can promote the growth of fungal flora, so it is prescribed in combination with Nystatin. Ineffective against pathogens of trichomoniasis. The course of treatment with the drug is 3-7 days, the issue of extension is decided by the gynecologist based on control smears. Indicated for the treatment of adolescents.
Gynoflor. Suppositories are drugs that restore the vaginal microflora after treatment with antibiotics and strong antimicrobial drugs, which kill healthy vaginal flora along with pathogenic ones. The drug is used for 14 days 2 times a day - in the morning and at night. The use of suppositories requires adjustment from a specialist, since they are contraindicated for endometriosis and tumor diseases of an estrogenic nature.
Fluomizin. The suppositories contain a medicinal substance that effectively destroys pathogenic bacterial flora, including fungal infections and Trichomonas. Often the drug is prescribed for preventive sanitation of the vagina before surgical procedures or childbirth (according to indications). Suppositories have a number of contraindications, so they are not prescribed for the treatment of girls who are not sexually active.

The drug is used in the treatment of nonspecific vaginitis, candidiasis and inflammation caused by Trichomonas. The course of treatment with suppositories is 7-10 days. The drug disrupts the vaginal microflora and shifts the normal pH level. After it, you need to take a course of microflora restoration.
Terzhinan. The strongest antimicrobial, antifungal drug that destroys all types of pathogenic microflora. Together with infectious agents, suppositories kill the normal inhabitants of the vaginal mucosa, so a course of treatment for dysbiosis will be required. Doctors take a very balanced approach to prescribing this drug if the risk of spreading the infection is significantly higher than others. Suppositories are prescribed with caution to patients with weakened immune systems, as they affect blood factors responsible for immune status.
Neo-Penotran. The suppositories contain specific components that are active against fungi and trichomonas. They are taken in combination with oral medications of similar action. The course of treatment is 10 days. Suppositories are incompatible with alcohol and are prescribed with caution to patients taking anticoagulants (medicines that prevent blood clotting).
Lomexin. Suppositories are used to treat thrush and other fungal diseases of the vaginal mucosa. The course of treatment is 3 days, 1 suppository at night. This dose is enough to achieve stable remission. Since the drug is ineffective during menstruation, it is better to use it in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
Pimafucin. The active substance is a modern synthetic antibiotic from the macrolide group, which is active against bacterial and fungal microflora. Successfully copes with thrush. Suppositories have no toxic effects, so they are often prescribed for the treatment of vaginal infections for pregnant women.
Hexicon. A drug with broad antimicrobial action against sexually transmitted infections. They are used to treat inflammation of the cervical canal of the cervix. These suppositories are prescribed as a prophylaxis before pelvic surgery, childbirth, artificial termination of pregnancy, installation of an intrauterine device, if there has been unprotected sexual intercourse with an unknown partner. The course of treatment is 5 days; for prevention, a 3-day course of 1 suppository at night is enough - 2 times a year. The use of suppositories must be planned so that the course does not coincide with menstruation.
Livarol. Antifungal suppositories are effective for all types of thrush and complex fungal-coccal infections. The course of treatment is 5 days. For frequent relapses of thrush, it is recommended to take short 3-day courses for 6 months, 5 days before the onset of menstruation.
Polygynax. The suppositories contain two antibiotics - polymyxin and neomycin. Nystatin is included to suppress the growth of fungal flora. Vaginal tablets effectively treat inflammation caused by bacterial flora, including the blue-green pus stick. They are used to treat vaginitis, colpitis, vulvovaginitis. Prescribed in the complex treatment of ovarian inflammation, as well as for preventive purposes before childbirth, abortion, and surgical operations on the reproductive organs. For medicinal purposes, the drug is prescribed in a course of 1 suppository per night for 12 days. It is contraindicated in women with allergies to soy protein and peanuts.

In the acute stage, the course of treatment is 7 days, 2 suppositories - in the morning and at night. For relapses of chronic forms - 1 suppository at night for 14 days. Gynecologists prescribe suppositories with caution due to a large list of contraindications.
Bifidumbacterin. The suppositories contain live cultures of bifidumbacteria, the presence of which in the vagina is a sign of women's health. Suppositories are inserted 2 times - in the morning and at night for 10 days. The main goal of treatment is to populate the vagina with beneficial microflora. Vaginal suppositories such as Bificol, Atsilakt, Laktozhinal, etc. have a similar effect.

Depantol. The suppositories contain active substances such as dexpanthenol and chlorhexidine bigluconate. The main purpose of the drug is to heal damaged vaginal mucosa. Suppositories destroy microbes and enhance metabolic processes in tissues.

What diseases are treated with this technique?

Diseases that are treated with vaginal suppositories:

colpitis;
thrush (fungal infection of the vagina);
vaginitis;
sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, gardnerellosis, uroplasmosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital herpes and others;
salpingitis;
cervicitis;
cystitis;
cervical erosion;
benign tumors of the genital organs.

Application in complex therapy of genital organs

In addition to local treatment of inflammatory processes in the vagina, vaginal suppositories are used in complex therapy of adnexitis, endometritis, cervical erosion, and fungus. Quite often, these diseases are caused by sexually transmitted infections - gonococci, chlamydia, trichomonas, as well as nonspecific pathogenic flora coming from other foci of inflammation.

Adnexitis is an inflammation of the ovaries, which is accompanied by cutting and aching pain in the lower abdomen and a sharp deterioration in well-being. Antiviral vaginal suppositories with antibiotics are used to treat it. After them, a course of suppositories is prescribed, which support the vaginal flora and contribute to the speedy restoration of the functions of the reproductive organs.

Endometritis is an inflammation of the inner layer lining the uterus. Occurs when an infection occurs during childbirth, abortion, or minor surgical operations. The disease occurs with intoxication, the patient’s temperature rises sharply, weakness and chills develop. Along with antibiotic therapy, which is carried out orally or intramuscularly, gynecologists prescribe antibacterial vaginal suppositories to enhance the effect of the main drugs and prevent infection of the vaginal mucosa and cervix. Antibacterial suppositories suppress the growth of Trichomonas and other aerobes and prevent the addition of fungal infections.

In the treatment of adnexitis and endometritis, fluomizin and Terzhinan suppositories, in which the main active ingredient is metronidazole, are most often prescribed. The course of drug treatment is up to 10 days; depending on the course of the general disease, 1-2 suppositories per day are prescribed.

At the end of the general course of therapy with anti-inflammatory drugs, gynecologists recommend restoring the vaginal microflora with suppositories containing bifidum and lactobacilli. Longidaza suppositories have proven themselves well. The course of treatment is 2-3 weeks, 1 suppository per night.

Cervical erosion is a common pathology when there is a lesion in which healthy epithelial cells are replaced by cylindrical ones. Erosion is treated with cauterization. Vaginal suppositories are used before the procedure as a preventative measure. The most commonly prescribed are Hexicon, Polygynax and Livarol.

Anti-inflammatory vaginal suppositories have proven to be very effective in the complex treatment of cystitis. Their action is aimed at enhancing the effect of basic antimicrobial drugs, reducing tissue swelling, and relieving inflammatory processes in the vagina. As a rule, Hexicon is used to treat cystitis - 2 suppositories for 10 days. To restore normal vaginal microflora, a course of Acylact is prescribed - 1 suppository per week.

Installation Rules

Before installing candles, you must carefully read the instructions for the drug, stock up on panty liners and wash your hands thoroughly with soap. The best time to install a suppository is at night. In a relaxed position, medicinal substances are absorbed as quickly as possible and act effectively. The patient does not experience any inconvenience from the fact that part of the dissolved suppository flows back.

When installing a vaginal suppository, you must follow a certain algorithm of actions:

Lie on your back, bend your knees and pull them towards your chest.
Take the suppository or applicator together with the suppository in your hands (some suppositories are sold complete with them), carefully insert the suppository into the vagina and slowly remove the applicator back.
If the candle is inserted with a finger, then it must be inserted along the entire length of the middle finger. If installed incorrectly, the product will melt and leak onto the laundry.
After inserting the suppository, it is recommended to lie on your back for 20 minutes. This time is enough for it to melt and be absorbed by the walls of the vagina.
Some of the melted contents of the candle will flow back out, this is normal, the remains should be blotted with a gasket.
It is not recommended to have intimate intimacy while undergoing treatment to prevent the risk of re-infection.
It is advisable to undergo treatment together with a sexual partner.

Anti-inflammatory vaginal suppositories are a medicine that may have side effects.

If you feel a burning sensation and itching when installing the suppository, you should consult your doctor; there may be an intolerance to some medicinal components.

Contraindications to treatment with suppositories:

systemic diseases: diabetes mellitus, renal, liver and heart failure;
period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
with individual intolerance to individual components of the suppositories;
when itching, rash, runny nose, swelling and other manifestations of allergic reactions appear;
vaginal suppositories containing metronidazole are incompatible with alcohol and disulfiram;
clindamycin-based suppositories are not combined with antibiotics of the erythromycin group;
suppositories with antiseptics are not used in the presence of ulcers of the vaginal mucosa and cervix;
Some suppositories are contraindicated for skin tuberculosis.

Vaginal suppositories are inserted into the body cavity and directly affect the source of inflammation. This is their main advantage over other dosage forms used in gynecology.

Many women experience severe pain during menstruation, which causes discomfort and disability. However, moments arise when spasms appear that are not at all associated with menstrual periods; this indicates the appearance of inflammatory processes in the genitals.

Anti-inflammatory drugs in gynecology are used only after consultation and diagnosis by an obstetrician-gynecologist. As a rule, when pain occurs, women are recommended anti-inflammatory suppositories, injections, and tablets. Sometimes, as a preventative measure, women may be prescribed decoctions and teas from medicinal herbs.

Each treatment regimen has its own flaws, so it must be prescribed on an individual basis, after all tests and diagnostics have been carried out.

Suppositories are one of the most popular drugs in gynecology. This type of medicine has a quick effect and is small in size. The main specificity of suppositories is their long shelf life not only in the refrigerator, but also indoors, as well as rapid dissolution at body temperature.

According to the method of administration, suppositories are classified as:

Rectal suppositories are used for insertion into the rectum. Their shape may be different.
Vaginal suppositories have an oval, round, or cone shape.
Stick suppositories must be used for insertion into the ureter and cervix. They have small sizes of 1-3 mm and a thin rod-shaped shape.

Advantages of candles

The main quality of suppositories is their dissolution, as well as the penetration of active substances into the bloodstream and elimination of the source of inflammation. This form must be used for diseases of the digestive tract, as well as for chronic diseases (duodenal ulcer, stomach ulcer, diarrhea, gastritis), since suppositories do not enter the stomach and do not disintegrate in the liver.

Vaginal suppositories quickly affect the symptoms of the disease and eliminate inflammation. They are easy to use and do not cause allergic diseases, therefore they are most often used in gynecology.

Anti-inflammatory suppositories for diseases of the genital organs are prescribed for colpitis, vaginitis, fungal and sexually transmitted diseases. The effect of suppositories is to penetrate the active components into the source of inflammation, affecting pathogenic bacteria that cause pain. They must be used only with the permission of a gynecologist and are prescribed only taking into account the microflora of the vagina.

This group of suppositories is prescribed for abortion, endometriosis, erosion and inflammation of the uterus and ovaries. For such diseases, it is used in antimicrobial therapy.

Suppositories for severe illnesses

When inflammation of the ovaries appears, the obstetrician-gynecologist recommends taking not only anti-inflammatory drugs, but also painkillers. Such medicines include:

Medicines must be taken for inflammation of the ovaries inside the vagina, lasting 14 days.

An important drug is Longidaza. It must be taken after difficult abortions and childbirth. The active components of the drug prevent the formation of adhesions and help thin the blood. It is able to increase immunity, helps quickly restore the mucous membrane and relieves inflammation in the ovaries.

It must be remembered that cervical erosion cannot be cured only with suppositories. A combination treatment should be formulated: tablets, cauterization and ointments.

Tablet forms

Any disease or inflammation of the female organs is accompanied by pain. Today, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are relevant in gynecology, which help to quickly relieve the source of pain and remove inflammation. Anti-inflammatory tablets are necessary to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, normalize blood circulation and reduce capillary permeability.

If a woman has painful periods, as well as dysfunction of the reproductive organs or inflammation of the ovaries, then tablets containing phenylacetic acid, which is a non-steroidal drug, are prescribed. These include:

Ketaprofen;
Ibuprofen;
Rapten;
Rapid.

These medications are also available in injection form, which eliminates inflammation faster. They have an antispasmodic effect in the schematic treatment of ectopia, as well as during the insertion or removal of an intrauterine device and punctures.

If you take a few Nurofen tablets half an hour before a painful procedure or minor surgery, you can easily endure the pain. The pain cannot be tolerated, so a pill can significantly alleviate the situation.

Herbal infusions

Herbal treatment, no matter how doubtful, is effective for inflammation. Many obstetricians and gynecologists are skeptical about herbal medicine and do not believe in its properties. However, since ancient times, herbs have been able to work wonders and alleviate a woman’s condition with diseases and inflammation of the genital organs. The following types of plants are useful in gynecology:

Herbal plants containing estrogen. These are: clover, sage, licorice, mistletoe, sweet clover, raspberry, linden.
Herbal plants that have male phytohormones. These herbs are recommended to be taken to synthesize natural male sex hormones in women. This group includes: lovage, Yakut, hogweed, celery, red brush.
Plants with progestin. This is a fairly large group that is necessary for the production of progesterone. These are: meadow lumbago, upland uterus, cinquefoil, sacred vitex, raspberry fruits and leaves, cuff.

If excessive synthesis of sex hormones occurs in a woman’s body, then their partial inhibition is necessary, otherwise inflammation will occur. You need to drink medicinal herbs such as black root and sparrowweed.

Taking medications in gynecology is necessary for preventive measures or as a combination of treatment. But before taking herbs, a woman should consult an obstetrician-gynecologist and herbalist.

What side effects may occur?

Taking medications in gynecology not only helps to heal the necessary organ and remove inflammation, but can also have side effects. The most common symptoms of side effects are:

high incidence of intestinal diseases;
nausea, vomiting;
headache;
discomfort and flatulence in the stomach;
dermatological diseases;
diarrhea.

In order for a woman to avoid such problems, it is necessary to take the correct dosage of the drug and follow the recommendations of the gynecologist. You should be especially careful when taking medicinal herbs, as they cause allergies.

Conclusions

Medicine is developing more and more every day. The pharmacy has a wide range of medications that can help with gynecological problems.

Before starting to take this or that drug, a woman needs to be diagnosed and consult a doctor. It is necessary to quickly detect the disease and strictly follow the treatment prescribed by the gynecologist. Women's health is fragile and must be protected, so to avoid problems and inflammation, it is necessary to be checked regularly by a gynecologist.

Gynecological suppositories are used for gynecological diseases. Particularly popular are anti-inflammatory suppositories, prescribed vaginally or rectally to treat almost every problem of the reproductive organs.

Gynecological suppositories or suppositories are a medical preparation consisting of a solid active substance and an oil base that dissolves at human body temperature. Suppositories have a wide spectrum of action and differ in the duration of use.

Depending on the female pathology, several groups of suppositories are distinguished. They are prescribed for the treatment of ovaries, cystic formations, vaginitis, candidiasis, uterine fibroids or fibroids, endometriosis, erosion, colpitis, nonspecific gardnerellosis, trichomonas, genital herpes, candidal adnexitis, cystitis, internal pelvic adhesions and others.

Based on the method of introduction into the body, suppositories are divided into three groups:

Rectal, having a cone-shaped or cylindrical shape and inserted through the anus.
Vaginal, egg-shaped or spherical suppositories inserted into the vagina.
Uterine - thin, stick-like and inserted into the urinary canal or cervix.

The most popular are Hexicon candles. But pregnant women are prescribed absorbable phytosuppositories based on propolis and sea buckthorn oil. Suppositories for endometriosis are an adjuvant in the complex therapy of gynecological inflammation.

Their action is aimed at suppressing and destroying pathogenic microorganisms that initiate the inflammatory process and restore the body. Gynecological suppositories, used for various diseases of the female genital organs, effectively relieve many unpleasant symptoms: redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort.

The advantages of these drugs include:

painless administration of the drug;
convenience and ease of use;
natural ingredients in the composition;
local effect without causing harm to the gastrointestinal tract and liver;
direct impact, rapid dissolution and entry into the blood;
antiseptic, anti-infective, antifungal effect;
free sale without a doctor's prescription.

Anti-inflammatory suppositories have a number of disadvantages, which include:

nausea;
excessive gas formation and other intestinal disorders;
difficulty defecating;

in rare cases - itching, irritation, discomfort.

Candles are indicated for use in the following cases:

dysfunction of the menstrual cycle;
protection of microflora and external genitalia from infections;
frequent pain in the lower abdomen;
vaginal dryness and discomfort due to menopause or hormonal imbalance;
gynecological inflammation (uterus, appendages, intestines, vagina);
chronic pathologies of the genitourinary area;
violation of reproductive and sexual function.

Vaginal suppositories for inflammation: types and features of use

Vaginal suppositories for inflammation are needed in order to eliminate the cause of inflammation, as well as relieve unpleasant symptoms. After all, the inflammatory process in the body entails many other disturbances in the functioning of organs and systems, and this, in turn, affects the patient’s well-being.

Suppositories for inflammation of the appendages and other female organs are divided into two groups:

Steroids (can be natural or synthetic) - have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, eliminate itching and allergic reactions. However, this type of medicine contains hormones, so it is not recommended to take them without the supervision of a specialist. The doctor also selects an individual steroid treatment regimen.
Non-steroidal (do not contain a hormone) - have anesthetic, antipyretic properties, help relieve inflammation, itching, fever.

For the treatment of gynecological diseases, anti-inflammatory drugs are used in accordance with the diagnosis. For example, endometritis and adnexitis respond well to treatment with drugs that do not contain steroids. In combination with an antibiotic, they give the required effect. Duration of treatment is from 7 to 10 days.

The most commonly used:

Voltaren;
Movaplis;
Diclofenac;
Indomethacin.

The listed drugs are used by introducing them into the rectum. There are also suppositories that require vaginal use:

Terzhinan;
Fluomesin.

The main active ingredient in these suppositories is metronidazole, which has an antimicrobial effect and relieves inflammation. In case of a complicated course of the disease, the course of treatment may exceed 10 days.

Usually, after a course of taking such drugs, the vaginal microflora is disrupted and becomes vulnerable to various fungal infections.

Patients may complain of itching and an unpleasant burning sensation in the vagina. To avoid this, the doctor additionally prescribes Acylact or vaginal suppositories for prevention.

Progress in treatment is monitored by a gynecologist, focusing on the results of smears. The acute course of the disease is, as a rule, the primary symptoms - discharge with a strong unpleasant odor and suspicious color, pain when urinating, redness of the epithelium. The chronic inflammatory process also manifests itself, but patients do not feel any obvious discomfort.

Treatment of chronic diseases is more complex and lengthy. Chronic inflammation of the ovaries and uterus has the same symptoms, but they are less pronounced. However, treatment may require longer than in the acute course of the disease.

Antibacterial vaginal suppositories: a review of the best medications of this type

Suppositories can be administered either vaginally or rectally. The drug is used to relieve swelling, heal damaged epithelium, and for bacterial infections.

You can also make your own candles. Propolis candles are prepared by adding cocoa butter to crushed propolis leaves.

The proportion is 20 parts propolis to 1 part cocoa. The resulting mass is thoroughly kneaded and sent to the freezer to completely harden. Use vaginally before bedtime. To make sea buckthorn candles, you will need: beeswax (0.3 kg), sea buckthorn oil (100 ml), vitamin E capsules (5 pcs.). It is necessary to mix all the components, after melting the wax in a water bath. Pour the mixture into molds. Suppositories are used once a day for 20-25 days. A break is taken during menstruation.

Candles with the addition of pine needles. Add finely chopped pine needles (proportion 5:1) to the melted pork fat and cook for about half an hour. The resulting mass should be filtered and sent to freeze. Candles are used once a day, it is advisable to do this shortly before bedtime. The course of treatment is 7-14 days.

These agents can block the spread of pathogenic agents or have a detrimental effect on them. But in order for the fight against them to be successful, it is necessary to establish exactly which ones. In some cases, it is impossible to determine the diagnosis and the best solution is broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs.

Features of the fight against pathogens

It is important to consider that many antimicrobial drugs have a powerful effect not only on foreign agents, but also on the patient’s body. Thus, they have a detrimental effect on the microflora of the gastric region and some other organs. To cause minimal damage, it is important to begin treatment immediately, as microorganisms spread at a rapid rate. If you miss this moment, the fight against them will be longer and more exhausting.

In addition, if it is necessary to use antimicrobial drugs for treatment, they must be prescribed in maximum quantities so that microorganisms do not have time to adapt. The prescribed course cannot be interrupted, even if improvements are noticed.

It is also recommended to use different antimicrobial drugs in treatment, rather than just one type. This is necessary so that after the completed therapy there are no foreign agents left that have adapted to a particular drug.

In addition to this, be sure to take a course that will strengthen the body. Because many drugs can cause serious allergic reactions, they should be taken only as directed by your doctor.

Sulfa drugs

We can say that they are divided into three types - these are nitrofurans, antibiotics and sulfonamides. The latter means have a destructive effect because they do not allow microbes to obtain folic acid and other components that are important for their reproduction and life. But premature termination of the treatment course or a small amount of the drug gives the microorganisms the opportunity to adapt to new conditions. In the future, sulfonamides are no longer able to fight.

This group includes well-absorbed drugs: Norsulfazol, Streptotsid, Sulfadimezin, Etazol. Also worth noting are medications that are difficult to absorb: “Sulgin”, “Fthalazol” and others.

If necessary, for better results, the doctor may recommend combining these two types of sulfonamide drugs. It is also possible to combine them with antibiotics. Some antimicrobial drugs are described below.

"Streptocide"

This drug is mainly prescribed for the treatment of sore throat, cystitis, pyelitis, and erysipelas. In some cases, the medicine may cause side effects such as headache, severe nausea accompanied by vomiting, and some complications from the nervous, hematopoietic or cardiovascular systems. But medicine does not stand still, and similar drugs are used in practice, but they have fewer adverse reactions. Such drugs include "Etazol" and "Sulfadimezin".

"Streptocide" can also be applied topically to burns, festering wounds, and skin ulcers. In addition, you can inhale the powder through your nose if you have an acute runny nose.

"Norsulfazole"

This drug is effective for cerebral meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, gonorrhea, etc. This antimicrobial agent quickly leaves the body, but it is necessary to drink a large amount of water per day.

"Inhalipt"

Good antimicrobial drugs for the throat, which are prescribed for laryngitis, ulcerative stomatitis, pharyngitis, are those that contain streptocide and norsulfazole. Such means include "Inhalipt". Among other things, it contains thymol, alcohol, mint and eucalyptus oil. It is an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent.

"Furacilin"

This is an antibacterial liquid known to many, which has a detrimental effect on various microbes. The medicine can be used externally, treating wounds, washing the nasal and ear canals, as well as internally for bacterial dysentery. Some antibacterial and antimicrobial drugs are produced on the basis of Furacilin.

"Fthalazol"

This slowly absorbed drug can be combined with antibiotics. It is also combined with Etazol, Sulfadimezin and other drugs. It actively works by suppressing intestinal infections. Effective for dysentery, gastroenteritis, colitis.

Nitrofuran

In medicine there are many drugs that are derivatives of Nitrofuran. Such remedies have a broad effect. For example, "Furagin" and "Furadonin" are often prescribed for cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis and other infectious diseases of the genitourinary system.

"Penicillin"

The drug is an antibiotic that has a detrimental effect on young microbes. It is ineffective in the fight against influenza, smallpox and other viral diseases. But for pneumonia, peritonitis, abscess, sepsis, meningitis, Penicillin is a good help. Various drugs are obtained from it that are superior to it in action, for example, “Benzylpenicillin”. These medications are low-toxic and cause virtually no complications. That is why it is believed that these are strong antimicrobial drugs for children.

But it is still worth considering that low-quality medicine can cause severe allergies. It can also suppress the natural intestinal microflora in the elderly and newborns. For weakened people or in childhood, vitamins C and B are prescribed simultaneously with Penicillin.

"Levomycetin"

Strains resistant to Penicillin are inhibited by Levomycetin. It has no effect on protozoa, acid-fast bacteria, anaerobes. For psoriasis and skin diseases, this drug is contraindicated. It is also forbidden to take it if hematopoiesis is suppressed.

"Streptomycin"

This antibiotic has several derivatives that help in different situations. For example, some can treat pneumonia, others are effective against peritonitis, and still others cope with infections of the genitourinary system. Note that the use of “Streptomycin” and its derivatives is permissible only after a doctor’s prescription, since an overdose does not exclude such a serious complication as hearing loss.

"Tetracycline"

This antibiotic is able to cope with many bacteria that cannot be treated with other drugs. Side effects may occur. Tetracycline can be combined with Penicillin in case of severe septic condition. There is also an ointment that copes with skin diseases.

"Erythromycin"

This antibiotic is considered a “backup option”, which is resorted to if other antimicrobial agents have not coped with their task. It successfully defeats diseases caused by the action of resistant strains of staphylococci. There is also erythromycin ointment, which helps with bedsores, burns, purulent or infected wounds, and trophic ulcers.

The main broad-spectrum antimicrobials are listed below:

"Tetracycline".
"Levomycetin".
"Ampicillin."
"Rifampicin".
"Neomycin".
"Monomycin".
"Rifamcin."
"Imipenem."
"Cephalosporins".

Gynecology and antibacterial treatment

If in any other area a disease can be attacked with broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs, then in gynecology it is necessary to strike with a well-selected, narrowly targeted agent. Depending on the microflora, not only medications are prescribed, but also their dosage and course duration.

Most often, antimicrobial drugs in gynecology are used externally. These can be suppositories, ointments, capsules. In some cases, if necessary, treatment is supplemented with broad-spectrum drugs. These may include "Terzhinan", "Poliginax" and others. Faster results can be achieved if you take two or three drugs at the same time. In any case, preliminary consultation with a doctor is important.

Tablets for genital infections, which can be used both internally and vaginally, are today one of the main and most effective ways to combat sexually transmitted diseases. The choice of drugs is very extensive and depends on the type of disease and the type of its causative agent.

What are sexually transmitted infections?

Many people confuse the concepts of sexually transmitted diseases and STDs, but this is a mistake. The fact is that sexually transmitted infections include a number of diseases transmitted through sexual contact. In general, sexually transmitted infections can be divided into four groups:

Infections of the genital tract develop under certain conditions, mainly against the background of general weakening of the body and reduced immunity.

All of the above types of diseases are united by the fact that they are sexually transmitted and are fraught with the development of many complications that affect the genitourinary system and negatively affect reproductive function. One of the most serious complications of sexually transmitted infections is infertility.

The symptoms of these diseases are very diverse and largely depend on the type of pathogen. The main and most common signs include the following:

Itching, burning and discomfort in the genital area.
Frequent urge to urinate, which may be false.
Vaginal discharge.
Menstrual irregularities.
Difficulty urinating.
Inability to conceive.

It is worth emphasizing that most sexually transmitted diseases are highly treatable, but only with timely consultation with a doctor, proper diagnosis and timely initiation of the therapeutic process.

Therefore, if you detect at least a few of the above symptoms, it is recommended to immediately consult a specialist and undergo the necessary examination.

Successful treatment of sexually transmitted infectious diseases begins with testing. After a diagnosis has been made and a characteristic pathogen has been identified, the doctor will determine which medications will be most effective and efficient in a particular clinical case.

Types of drug therapy

Medicines against genital tract infections are very diverse. Drug therapy is divided into several types. Let's look at them in more detail

Today, antibiotic therapy is considered the most effective way to combat sexually transmitted infections. The choice of medication is individual and is made by the attending physician based on the results of a preliminary culture of the infection, which allows one to determine its sensitivity to certain antibiotics. In most cases, patients are prescribed drugs belonging to the following groups:

Fluoroquinolone.
Cephalosporin.
Penicillin.
Tetracycline.
Macrolide.
Aminoglycosides.
Nitroimidazole derivatives.

The following factors are contraindications to taking antibiotics:

The patient's age is under 16 years.
Liver pathologies.
A pronounced tendency to allergic reactions.
Kidney pathologies.
Individual intolerance to some components of the drugs.
Pregnancy.
Lactation period.
The presence of a sexually transmitted infection of a fungal or viral nature.

Drugs are prescribed to improve blood circulation in the pelvic organs. These medications are considered auxiliary and are prescribed to almost all patients. The most common representatives of this pharmaceutical group include:

Aescusan;
Trental;
Chimes.

Antiviral agents are necessary for viral infections. Mostly for these purposes, patients are prescribed medications such as Penciclovir, Valaciclovir, Famacyclovir, Acyclovir, Arbidol, Peramivir, Orvirem, interferon preparations, Cycloferon, Amiksin.

The following factors are contraindications to antiviral therapy:

Pregnancy.
Breast-feeding.
Previously undergone liver transplantation.
The patient's age is under 18 years.
Renal dysfunction.
Individual intolerance.
Disturbances in the functioning of the digestive system.
Blood diseases.

Antifungal agents are used to treat sexually transmitted infectious diseases, the development of which is provoked by fungal pathogens. In this case, patients are prescribed Ketoconazole, Fluconazole, Irunin, Mikosist, Diflucan, Oronazole.

The following types of antifungal antibiotics are also used:

Nystatin.
Amphotericin B.
Pimafucin.
Levorin.
Natamycin.

The presented pharmacological group has the following contraindications:

Pregnancy.
Lactation period.
Allergic reactions to allylamines.
Diseases of the endocrine system.
Kidney failure.
Impaired liver function.

In addition, patients are required to be prescribed immunostimulants that help the body fight pathogens and increase its level of resistance. These medications are necessary for a successful treatment process, since in most cases, sexually transmitted infectious diseases develop precisely against the background of decreased immunity.

Possible side effects

With a long course of drug treatment, it is likely that unwanted side effects will occur. The most common of them are:

Nausea.
Attacks of vomiting.
Dizziness.
Painful sensations in the lower abdomen.
Headaches.
Indigestion.
Diarrhea.
The appearance of allergic rashes.
Dysbacteriosis.

If such painful signs appear, you should urgently seek advice from your doctor. The patient may need to adjust the dosage or change the medication.

Features of drug therapy

Both sexual partners must undergo treatment. During the treatment process it is necessary to use contraception. The duration of the therapeutic course and the choice of drugs should be prescribed only by a specialist based on the diagnosis and taking into account the health status and individual characteristics of the patient.

In order for treatment to produce favorable results, it must be regular and systematic. You cannot prescribe medications yourself, change the dosage or stop taking them, even if external painful symptoms disappear.

The medicine must be taken at the same time to constantly maintain a certain concentration of the active substance in the blood.

When taking medications for a long time, especially antibiotics, do not forget to take probiotics and special yoghurts to maintain normal intestinal microflora and prevent dysbiosis.

Treatment of sexually transmitted infections with medications is considered an effective and efficient way to solve this problem. However, to achieve favorable results and minimize the likelihood of developing undesirable side effects, the therapeutic course must be prescribed exclusively by a qualified specialist and carried out under his full supervision.
