What is Gynophilus LP vaginal tablet used for?
From birth, the vagina is colonized by a natural bacterial flora. This flora closely resembles that of an adult woman, due to maternal hormones which persist in the child's body for several weeks. Then, when these hormones disappear, the girl's vaginal flora is made up of digestive and skin germs until puberty.
With the onset of estrogen at puberty, vaginal secretions increase. The flora of the young girl gradually transforms into that of an adult woman. A woman's vaginal flora consists mainly of a bacterium called Döderlein's bacillus or lactobacillus. These can number up to 10 million per ml. Lactobacilli belong to the same family as the bacteria used to make yoghurt. They naturally protect the vagina.
This food supplement regenerates vaginal flora. This vaginal probiotic contains Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus Döderleini, naturally present in women's vaginal cavities. These lactobacilli producelactic acid, which helps maintain or restore thevaginal ecosystem by lowering the pH. This medical device comes as a sustained-release vaginal tablet: the tablet dissolves inside the vagina, forming a gel that continuously releases the required quantity of lactobacilli for 4 days.
Vaginal probiotics help maintain the right balance. It is used as a relay to a local antifungal or antibiotic treatment, or at the same time as an oral treatment (usually antibiotics).
What does vaginal acidity do? It keeps germs that cannot tolerate acidity at bay. What's more, the hydrochloric acid produced by vaginal cells combines with the antiseptic hydrogen peroxide produced by lactobacilli to form a product that is highly toxic to sexually-transmitted microbes. For example, it attacks the germs that cause gonorrhea and the AIDS virus. The risk of STI transmission is therefore lower when the vagina is internally healthy.
How to use this vaginal tablet
The vaginal probiotic is used as follows:
- We recommend taking 1 tablet every 4 days, in the evening at bedtime.
- The tablet should be moistened with a little water to facilitate its introduction into the bottom of the vagina.
- During use, discharge may occur a few hours after introduction of the tablet (use of a panty liner is recommended).
- Sexual intercourse is possible 8 hours after tablet administration.
Read instructions carefully before use.
Certain infections, such as mycosis, may occur following antibiotic treatment. These drugs do not distinguish between"bad" and"good" bacteria in the vaginal flora. Some women, more sensitive than others, therefore contract vaginal infections following such treatment. If this is the case, be sure to tell your doctor. He or she will then be able to adapt the prescription to your situation.
To take care of your vaginal flora, you also need to adopt the right gestures for your intimate comfort.
