Ginoflor drug: reviews of women

Dysbacteriosis of the vagina is a problem that thousands of women face. The disease affects not only the health of the lady, but also on intimate relationships with a partner. It requires serious treatment, otherwise an inflammation may occur in the small pelvis. "Gynoflora" (reviews of patients say that after two applications of the drug the amount of secretions is markedly reduced) effectively restores the microflora of the vagina.

Composition of tablets

The drug "Gynoflor" (reviews of ladies say that the remedy quickly helps to remove thrush) is available in the form of vaginal tablets of light beige color.

The composition of the drug includes lactobacilli acidophilic (lyophilizate, which contains more than 100 million viable bacteria) and estriol. As additional components are involved: lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous, sodium starch-glycolate.

Pharmacology

How does the Ginoflor drug work? The reviews indicate that after the tablet is inserted into the vagina, the number of excretions first increases, but after several applications this symptomatology disappears. The drug is widely used in the field of gynecology, since it has antiseptic and antimicrobial action, it has active ingredients that are approximate in composition to substances in the female vagina.

In the immune protection of the vagina enters the bacterium Lactobacilli, which produces lactic acid and has an anti-infective effect. Acidic medium created by lactic acid, promotes the reproduction of acidophilic lactobacilli, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic environment. Lactobacillus acidophilus also produces hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins. They successfully fight infections and viruses that destroy the vaginal microflora.

Estriol is a short-acting estrogen. Has an immune trophic effect on the epithelium of the vagina. Proliferating mature epithelium absorbs the glycogen necessary for the functioning of lactobacilli, creating an acidic vaginal fluid (pH 3.8-4.5). Creates a negative atmosphere of growth and development of pathogenic microorganisms.

The change in the microflora in the vagina is due to the influence of many factors. This use of antibiotics, non-compliance with hygiene, diseases, hypothermia and a number of other reasons. As a result, the number of lactobacilli decreases. Intravaginal administration of the drug strengthens the epithelium of the genital organ and restores the microflora. Lactose in the preparation plays the role of filler and can be processed into lactic acid by lactobacilli.

The epithelium of the vagina can be attenuated and traumatized due to hormonal disorders. This factor does not prohibit the use of "Gynoflora" in women during menopause. Here, the drug removes symptoms such as vaginal dryness, burning and itching, restores the epithelium of the vagina and urethra, and also significantly reduces the number of inflammations.
