Vaginal tablets have proven to be a very effective tool
for eliminating various fungal infections that occur in the vagina. However, it
is good to know that there are different types of vaginal tablets from different
manufacturers that can be used for various diseases, infections, illnesses and
some of them can be used as a contraceptive too.
They work in a very simple way. Vaginal tablets or
cones are placed inside the vagina and once they are dissolved, their content
affects the sources of the problems that appear in women. So what exactly do
these vaginal tablets contain? As we have mentioned before there are several
types of vaginal tablets so we will list what some of them include –
antiseptics, lactic acid, milk sugar, estriol, lactobacilli, antifungals,
antibiotics and few other ingredients or a combination of these
ingredients.
These vaginal tablets are recommended by doctors in
certain cases. Depending on the type of the vaginal tablets they are mostly recommended
in these cases:
-
To restore the vaginal flora that was
destroyed after fungal infection
-
To restore the usual vaginal flora that was
violated after antibiotic use
-
For treatment of menopausal problems
-
For treatment of recurrent infections of
the vagina
-
In some cases of hormonal disorders
(especially in younger women)
-
Against burning and itching in the vagina
-
Against vaginal dryness
-
For pain during the sexual intercourse
-
For treatment of various vaginal infections
-
For treatment of candida (fungus)
-
For treatment of trichomoniasis
-
For prevention of sepsis
-
For achieving asepsis before any kind of
gynecological interventions
As you can see the list is long and the effects of
vaginal tablets can be helpful in various situations.
It is good to know that, just like many other
medications, vaginal tablets have side effects that can appear in certain
cases. For example, these cases include - over sensitivity of the metabolism to
a certain substance and presence of ulceration. Also a lot of young women
reported side effects while using vaginal tablets. These tablets can cause side
effects in people that are suffering from some malignant diseases as well as
people suffering from endometriosis. If any side effects occur patients are
advised to consult with their doctor immediately.
These vaginal tablets work after they are dissolved so
keeping them in a relatively cold space is a must. They dissolve inside the
vagina on a certain temperature so if you leave them outside exposed to higher
temperatures there is a high probability that they will dissolve.
Using vaginal tablets is not something that you should
do on your own. They can be used only on the recommendation of a gynecologist.
Women that are pregnant and nursing mothers should be especially careful when
taking vaginal tablets. Some vaginal tablets are not recommended for these
categories of women. Women that are using other types of medication should be
careful too, because some combinations can cause serious complications and side
effects.
