Vaginal dysbiosis is a frequent companion of pregnancy. Treatment of women waiting for a child is difficult, since most drugs are simply contraindicated. At the same time, infectious diseases require immediate response, since they can have a negative effect on the course of pregnancy.

It should be understood that the violation of the microflora of the vagina is a woman's disease and is not included in the group of sexual infections, and therefore in no way can be transferred to the sexual partner of a woman. But the diseases that can become the main cause of this dysbiosis (trichomoniasis, chlamydia, gonorrhea), can quickly penetrate into the body of another person with unprotected sex. For the prevention of such diseases it is recommended not to have sexual relations with an unfamiliar or not provocative person. Having a single sexual partner is the key to a happy life and the successful birth of a healthy offspring.

Despite the fact that candles to restore the vaginal microflora are very safe to use and sold without a doctor's prescription, they are not recommended for themselves. After all, no woman, even if she has the characteristic symptoms of a disease, will not be able to make a correct diagnosis. Diagnosis of the majority of sexual infections, which are the cause of vaginal dysbiosis, consists in carrying out a blood test and smear examination in the laboratory. According to their results, the specialist prescribes appropriate treatment (in most cases, antibiotics). The use of antibiotic drugs in itself can cause dysbacteriosis of the vagina and intestines. Therefore, often in conjunction with the main drug for the treatment of diseases specialist appoints candles to normalize the microflora of the vagina, as well as probiotics to restore the intestinal microflora.

Why is it necessary to treat vaginal dysbiosis?
