Colpitis can be treated with various means, but suppositories are most often used. They are easy to use, and you can select the appropriate ones based on the individual characteristics of the disease. All suppositories for colpitis can be divided into domestic and imported. Often, having different names, some are analogues of each other in terms of the active substance and the difference is only in cost. In any case, it is important to choose the right drug, taking into account the characteristics of your illness. What vaginal suppositories can be used to treat colpitis?

Features of choosing candles

Colpitis has many varieties and the path of origin differs, so it is important to choose the right treatment. With inadequate therapy, not only time is lost, but also the resistance of the infection increases. Which drugs to use to treat vaginitis depend on the type of disease and its causative agent.

Colpitis happens:

1. Specific. The disease occurs against the background of an infection that is transmitted sexually.
2. Non-specific. This type of disease does not have a specific pathogen and most often occurs due to pathogenic microorganisms, mainly streptococci and staphylococci.

Treatment requires the selection of a remedy that will be effective against a specific pathogen. Therefore, without diagnosis and examination, it is impossible to talk about adequate therapy. You can guess what disease you have based on the symptoms.

Symptoms various types vaginitis:

Trichomonas. Symptoms: foamy white discharge, hyperemia of the mucous membranes.

Yeast colpitis. Its symptoms: redness of the tissues, white spots on the mucous membrane, light discharge.

Gonorrheal. Its symptoms cannot go unnoticed: profuse leucorrhoea with a putrid odor, swelling and hyperemia of the mucous membranes. The tissue may bleed when touched. Symptoms such as itching and burning in the genitals are often present.

Senile colpitis is accompanied by the following symptoms: yellowing of the mucous membranes, hemorrhagic spots and tissue defects.

If you experience symptoms such as strange-colored discharge with unpleasant smell, then most likely we are talking about an infection. In chronic forms of the disease, symptoms are absent or subtle in most cases. They may manifest themselves in the form of slight swelling, dilation of blood vessels, or changes in tissue structure.

Candles for the treatment of colpitis

If the doctor has prescribed treatment, but pregnancy is listed as a contraindication, then it is worth consulting again (possibly with another specialist) and choosing alternative options.

Candles for restoration of biocenosis

Many medications, especially antibacterial ones, disrupt the natural microflora in the vagina. Therefore, after completing a course of treatment for vaginitis, it needs to be restored. This will also help eliminate unpleasant symptoms such as dryness and irritation. What means can restore the vaginal microflora?

The only thing you need to remember is strict adherence to storage temperature conditions. Otherwise, the bacteria will die and treatment will be pointless.

Good afternoon, dear women. New article about suppositories for colpitis, names and recommendations for use. Quite recently, I witnessed a situation where a woman did not find the necessary vaginal tablets at a pharmacy, and the pharmacist did not offer her an analogue that was on display.

It is for this reason that today I want to make a short review of medications and talk about what suppositories for colpitis can be used by women and what analogues can replace popular drugs.

Colpitis is one of the most common reasons for visiting a gynecologist. In women, this disease is associated with unpleasant discharge, pain, burning and long-term drug treatment.

Fortunately, today's range of medications allows you to individually select the most effective and efficient medicine.

Colpitis is an inflammatory gynecological disease that primarily affects the vaginal walls. Before providing a list of medications for colpitis, it is necessary to understand in detail the cause of the disease.

Various factors of a mechanical, physical and infectious nature can provoke the development of colpitis. The most common cause of the disease is pathogenic microflora, which, penetrating into the vagina, causes an inflammatory reaction from the internal genital organs.

But gynecologists also often encounter lactation, which develops against the background of enormous hormonal changes in a woman’s body.

Most often, colpitis during pregnancy is manifested by a banal thrush, which must be treated very carefully so as not to harm the health of the baby and mother.

Review of the most effective remedies for colpitis

To get rid of the unpleasant symptoms of the disease, it is most effective to use topical medications. These are primarily vaginal suppositories for colpitis and tablets.

Most of all, gynecologists like to prescribe drugs such as Terzhinan, which has a wide spectrum of action and is equally effective against both fungal and bacterial microflora.

Terzhinan (analogue of Neotrizol) is used to treat colpitis of various origins.

It is often prescribed for the sanitation of the birth canal before the birth of a child, as well as for the purpose of prevention before surgical interventions and abortions.

This drug is also prescribed for nursing mothers, but only under the supervision of the attending physician and strictly observing the dose and duration of treatment.

Vocadine is an equally popular drug among gynecologists and their patients. This product has high antiseptic properties. The active ingredient of this drug is povidone iodine, to which many patients may have an allergic reaction.

Many women know the name of a drug such as Hexicon. These suppositories for colpitis are made on the basis of chlorhexidine bigluconate, which has proven itself to be an excellent antiseptic effective against many pathogenic microorganisms.

The choice of gynecologists often stops at this medicine and the main reason for this choice is the absence of contraindications to the use of Hexicon vaginal suppositories.

The fact is that this remedy is not absorbed into the general bloodstream and acts exclusively locally, which allows it to be used by pregnant and lactating women.

To treat fungal and bacterial colpitis, vaginal capsules Polygynax are used, which combine two substances: polymyxin and neomycin sulfate.

Among the entire range of gynecological suppositories, there are cheap and effective drugs that are good for getting rid of candidiasis. This:

• Nystatin,
• Clotrimazole,
• Metranidazole.

I have many years of experience using these drugs, but they also have quite a lot side effects, therefore they should not be used by pregnant and lactating women.

You can learn more about the treatment of colpitis during pregnancy from a professional gynecologist in the video course “Colpitis during pregnancy” at this link.

Separately, I would like to say a few words about the use of suppositories to restore the natural microflora of the vagina.

As a result of treatment with potent antibacterial drugs, the causative agent of vaginitis (colpitis) is eliminated, but the symptoms of the disease may continue to bother the patient. The fact is that with pathogenic microflora, healthy vaginal flora also dies.

To restore the natural biocenosis, it is advisable to use vaginal suppositories:

• Bifidumbacterin,
• Acylact,
• Vagilak.

Here is a far from complete list of medications for the treatment of colpitis; only the most effective and safe ones are selected. Generally speaking, this form of medication for use in obstetrics and gynecology is highly effective.

As a result of a short course of treatment (5-10 days), with the help of a properly selected medication, you can eliminate not only the disturbing symptoms, but also act on the pathogen itself.

Despite the positive reviews and relative safety of this group of drugs, you should not resort to self-medication, because such behavior is fraught with negative consequences.

Colpitis, like any other disease, should be treated by a highly qualified doctor, who will prescribe you suppositories for colpitis.

See you soon and be healthy!

Suppositories for restoring vaginal microflora

The second stage in the treatment of colpitis is the restoration of the natural microflora of the vagina. Since the latter was first affected by pathogenic microorganisms and then by medications, a number of means will be needed to normalize the vaginal biocenosis.

Of course, during treatment it is necessary to follow a number of additional recommendations: do not wear tight underwear, avoid sanitary pads with fragrances and maintain intimate hygiene.

Colpitis is one of the inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs. Another name for the disease is vaginitis. It most often affects women of childbearing age. But older ladies are also not without risk. What are the symptoms and how is the treatment?

The disease is divided into several types and is actually thrush and trichomoniasis.

Typically, inflammatory processes of this disease are only part of the picture, colpitis accompanies diseases such as urethritis.

Causes of genital infection

Pathogens of infectious diseases (for example, E. coli). Infections that are sexually transmitted often cause inflammation. Refusal of condoms, frequent changes of partner and other reasons cause diseases of a specific nature (gonorrhea, chlamydia and others).

The genitals can become infected for various reasons

They are usually accompanied by colpitis. Colpitis, which is caused by trichomonas and chlamydia. They almost always become chronic. The pathogens gradually spread to all organs of the woman’s reproductive system (fallopian tubes, ovaries). Inflammation leads to infertility or miscarriage.

Microorganisms that are constantly present in the vagina. They provoke a nonspecific inflammatory process. These are the following bacteria: staphylococci, streptococci, fungi. Very often, colpitis is caused by fungi of the genus Candida. Microorganisms are identified using laboratory tests. They can occur individually or form microbial groups.

Normally, the vaginal microflora suppresses the growth and activity of such microorganisms. But if the balance of microflora is disturbed, then they multiply quickly and cause inflammation. Healthy microflora is represented mainly by lactic acid bacteria.

The growth of pathogenic flora is provoked by numerous factors:

• various gynecological diseases (ovarian inflammation, fallopian tubes and etc.);
• chronic diseases of the woman’s body;
• acute diseases;
• long-term drug therapy;
• antibiotic treatment, chemotherapy;
• insufficient personal hygiene;
• weakened immunity and HIV.

Bacteria that enter the vagina from the external environment cause specific bacterial colpitis. They enter the body for many reasons (sexual intercourse, stale underwear, medical intervention).

The cause of colpitis may be vaginal injury. Careless chemical or mechanical action often leads to disastrous results. Inflammation can occur as a result of rough sexual intercourse, improper and frequent douching, or wearing tight synthetic underwear.

Disturbances in the hormonal system and related diseases. Colpitis is often detected in women suffering from diabetes mellitus. Contraception can also disrupt the normal state of vaginal microflora. The result is an inflammatory process.

Using an IUD- intrauterine device increases the risk of developing inflammatory diseases. Women who have IUDs are much more likely to suffer from colpitis. This is especially true for nulliparous women.

The main symptoms of vaginitis in women

1. burning and itching in the genital area;
2. swelling and redness of the labia;
3. copious (purulent, milky, curdled, foamy or bloody) vaginal discharge;
4. bad smell discharge;
5. pain during sexual intercourse;
6. aching and nagging pain in the lower abdomen;
7. frequent urge to urinate;
8. deterioration in general health and increase in temperature (in acute cases).

Symptoms of colpitis can be expressed to varying degrees. It all depends on the cause of the inflammation. But if you notice heavy discharge with an unpleasant odor, then this is a good reason consult a doctor immediately.

Colpitis can occur almost unnoticed. Some women are slightly bothered by discomfort in the perineum. Therefore, they delay visiting a specialist, postponing it until later. The result is a chronic disease that provokes complications.

Various ways to treat colpitis

Treatment always involves an integrated approach. The selection of funds always occurs after a thorough examination and testing.

The treatment regimen is selected individually. Competent specialists always take into account the nature of the disease, concomitant diseases and the general health of the patient.

The treatment regimen is selected individually

Doctors prescribe:

• anti-inflammatory drugs and etiotropic drugs;
• taboo on sex before recovery, as well as examination of the partner;
• treatment of diseases that accompany colpitis.

Specialists strive to sanitize the vulva and vagina. To do this, a woman is recommended to wash her face. Good results are achieved by washing with a weak solution of manganese or with herbal decoctions (sage, chamomile, calendula). Procedures are performed at least three times a day.

If colpitis is acute and accompanied by purulent discharge, then the vagina should be douched with chamomile decoction or a special composition. It is made from rivanol and manganese solution. Douching should not be done for more than three days. Otherwise, a disruption of the microflora and normal acidity of the vagina occurs.

Many causative agents of colpitis resist the effects of antibiotics. Therefore, such drugs are usually not prescribed for bacterial colpitis. If the disease is persistent, then antibacterial agents are used topically (in the form of emulsions and solutions). Such drugs are used for a short time.

How else is sanitation performed?

1. Take streptomycin emulsion (10%), rosehip oil and peach oil. Please note that the oil must be pasteurized. The liquids are mixed and a composition is obtained, which is used to treat the vaginal walls. The procedures are carried out for a week.

2. Vaginal baths with chlorophyllipt and chamomile infusion help well.

To boost immunity, doctors advise taking vitamin complexes. After 4 months, the course of treatment is carried out again. This helps prevent relapse.

Treatment with candles

Suppositories for colpitis are prescribed by a doctor. The choice of drug depends on the nature of the disease. Very often, vaginitis is treated with Terzhinan suppositories. It is an antimicrobial and antifungal drug that has an anti-inflammatory effect. Before inserting the suppository into the vagina, it must be kept in water for 20 seconds. The treatment regimen involves daily use of suppositories. Terzhinan is usually administered at night. The course is 10 days. In advanced forms of the disease, treatment lasts 20 days.

An effective medicine in the form of suppositories is Vocadine. The suppositories should be inserted very deeply into the vagina. If colpitis is acute, then suppositories are used 2 times a day (1 pc.). The course of treatment with this drug is 1 week. If vaginitis is accompanied by ureaplasmosis, chlamydia or mycoplasmosis, then effective Genferon suppositories are prescribed. They must be combined with tablets (metronidazole, fluconazole, etc.). During the treatment process, the genitals must be kept clean. Pimafucin and Klion-D 100 suppositories bring good results.

Traditional methods of treatment

1. Take oak bark - 1 tbsp. l. It must be crushed and brewed with a glass of boiling water. Next, keep the broth in a water bath. The finished liquid should infuse (about 12 hours). After this, it must be filtered and used for douching. It's better to do this before bed. The course lasts 10 days.
2. You will need: cornflower, willow grass, creeping clover, white water lily, garden peony, cat's foot inflorescences, garden rose petals, sweet clover, chamomile and knotweed. All components are taken in equal proportions (1 spoon each). After making a mixture of herbs, take one spoon and add a liter of water. Boil for at least 10 minutes, strain, infuse and take orally (half a glass before meals). To make the liquid tastier, you can add honey, jam or sugar to it. The course lasts 3 months. Then a break is taken for 2 weeks. After this, the treatment continues again.
3. The following mixture is well suited for douching: chamomile - 2 tbsp. l., goose cinquefoil - 1 tbsp. l. Pour the mixture with a liter of boiling water and leave. After 20 minutes, strain.
4. Celandine helps a lot. A decoction of this herb is used to moisten tampons and insert them into the vagina. For the decoction you will need 3 tbsp. l. celandine and a liter of boiling water. It is better to keep the liquid in a water bath for about 30 minutes.

Trichomonas colpitis (trichomoniasis)

This disease is caused by Trichomonas. Trichomonas colpitis is a common type of trichomoniasis in the fair sex.

If the disease has taken an acute form, then foamy and profuse leucorrhoea occurs. They have an unpleasant odor and a yellowish tint.

Trichomonas colpitis is a common type of trichomoniasis in the fair sex.

In some cases, the leucorrhoea may be grayish with an admixture of blood. Patients experience itching in the perineum, pain in the lower abdomen and frequent painful urination. Upon examination, the doctor reveals swelling and irritation in the external genital area.

The walls of the vagina have a purulent serous coating. There are several types of Trichomonas colpitis. Doctors provide comprehensive treatment, which includes therapy for concomitant diseases.

Atrophic (cyanotic) type of inflammation of the vaginal mucosa

Atrophic or senile colpitis is inflammatory and dystrophic changes in the vaginal mucosa. It occurs due to the fact that the walls of the epithelium become thinner and hypoestrogenism occurs.

Symptoms:

• vaginal dryness;
• constant inflammation;
• spotting with blood.

To diagnose, the doctor conducts an examination, examines smears and performs a colposcopy. There are two forms of atrophic colpitis.

1. postmenopausal
2. colpitis caused by artificial menopause.

Treatment of the disease includes the use of local remedies and hormone therapy. This type of colpitis occurs in 40% of women. It usually occurs 5 years after menopause. The complex of symptoms characteristic of the disease is caused by a lack of estrogen.

Treatment in most cases involves taking hormonal drugs. In addition, local preparations in the form of ointments and suppositories are used. For example, Ovestil and Estriol. Systemic effects are provided by such agents as Climodien, Angeliq, Estradiol and others.

Systemic hormonal therapy is carried out over several years (about 5). Sometimes specialists prescribe phytoestrogens. Hormone replacement therapy is also recommended as a preventative measure.

Yeast species - thrush

Another name for this form of colpitis is thrush. The disease is widespread in gynecology. According to statistics, every second woman has thrush. Colpitis in this variant is manifested by the active proliferation of the Candida fungus.

This fungus is also present in normal microflora. It is found in the oral cavity, esophagus, and genitals. But an increase in the amount of yeast-like fungus leads to an imbalance. A focus of inflammation occurs in the body.

The acute stage of thrush has the following symptoms:

• curdled white discharge;
• white coating on the external genitalia;
• unbearable itching in the vagina;
• burning when urinating;
• unpleasant odor from the genitals;
• nagging pain in the lower abdomen;
• pain after sex.

The disease may periodically worsen. During menstruation, the symptoms subside slightly. Diagnosis is carried out through examination. A smear test is required. Additionally, a study is carried out to identify concomitant diseases of the genital area. This type of fungus activates the community of pathogenic microorganisms and weakens the immune system.

Therefore, yeast colpitis is sometimes accompanied by sexually transmitted diseases. Self-medication leads to relapses. The disease becomes chronic. That's why Only a specialist can prescribe medications. Doctors use a whole range of remedies using an individual approach (suppositories, creams, tablets).

Candidiasis colpitis

Candidal colpitis is the second designation for yeast colpitis (thrush). In patients, fungi of the genus Candida are detected in increased quantities.

Typically, candidiasis occurs when the immune system is weakened. Unfavorable circumstances cause the death of beneficial bacteria. At the same time, fungi are sharply activated.

Candidiasis usually occurs when the immune system is weakened

The infection occurs on the surface layer of the epithelium. To bring the vaginal microflora back to normal, doctors prescribe various remedies. They try not to use antibiotics, as they destroy not only yeast-like fungi, but also beneficial bacteria.

The first signs of candidiasis are cheesy white discharge and itching. Such phenomena provoke nervousness. The woman becomes irritable. Many people are bothered by a burning sensation when urinating. Burning and pain may accompany sexual intercourse. An experienced doctor immediately identifies thrush. However, tests are required to confirm the diagnosis.

Candidiasis is treated with general and local medications. Suppositories are used topically: Hexicon, Betadion, Livarol, Pimafucin. A special cream helps get rid of thrush. For example, Clotrimazole or Ginofort. Douching and washing of the genitals are also carried out.

For this, herbal decoctions (sage, chamomile), chlorophyllipt, manganese, zinc sulfate, rivanol are used. Vaginal tablets and tampons soaked in oils (rose hips, sea buckthorn) have a good effect. General therapy consists of treating concomitant diseases and strengthening the immune system.

Chronic form

Colpitis, which has become chronic, is characterized by the following symptoms:

• slight swelling of the genitals;
• periodic discharge.

For many women, the chronic disease occurs without significant symptoms. Sometimes they feel nagging pain in the lower abdomen and observe discharge. Examination reveals degenerative changes in the epithelium. If a chronic form is detected, doctors recommend an ultrasound scan.

This makes it possible to identify complications resulting from colpitis. Treatment follows the traditional scheme. The patient is prescribed vaginal ointments and suppositories. Douching is required. At the same time, treatment of concomitant diseases is carried out.

Bacterial vaginitis

Bacterial colpitis can be primary or secondary. The latter is divided into ascending and descending. In addition, there is nonspecific and specific vaginosis. Nonspecific colpitis of this type occurs due to the active activity of bacteria entering the vagina from the environment.

Causes of the disease:

1. violation of personal hygiene;
2. frequent change of sexual partners;
3. unprotected sexual intercourse and others.

Specific colpitis is a consequence of sexually transmitted diseases. Very often the cause is mycoplasma, chlamydia and ureaplasma. Bacterial vaginosis can occur in different ways. It can be acute, sluggish, subacute, latent, chronic and asymptomatic. Treatment depends on the form of the disease.

Senile colpitis

The disease occurs during menopause. During this period, functions fade away female organs, vaginal acidity is significantly reduced. The mucous membrane undergoes atrophy. All this contributes to the development of pathogenic flora.

During this period, the functions of the female organs fade away, the acidity of the vagina decreases significantly

Senile colpitis is characterized by a sluggish process. Women usually complain of vaginal dryness. Pain and burning rarely occur.

Severe dryness causes itching. If the patient is bothered by purulent discharge mixed with blood, then doctors prescribe an examination to identify malignant tumors in the uterus.

Acute type of disease

The acute form is characterized by pronounced symptoms. They depend on the cause that caused colpitis. Sometimes the patient experiences a whole set of symptoms.

• curdled discharge with an unpleasant odor;
• burning and itching in the vagina;
• pain and burning when urinating;
• pain in the lower abdomen;
• pain and burning during sexual intercourse;
• increased urge to urinate;

In severe cases of acute vaginitis, the body temperature rises. Sometimes bleeding occurs. Doctors detect small lesions on the mucous membrane.

Treatment of the disease depends on the pathogen. After the tests, the specialist prescribes general and local medications. Suppositories, ointments, tablets, herbal infusions and physiotherapy are used.

Bacterial infection during pregnancy

Colpitis develops very often in pregnant women. The cause is reduced immunity. In this case, the disease requires immediate treatment. The difficulty here is that during pregnancy the choice of medications is limited.

Since pregnant women have reduced immunity, they are more vulnerable to this disease

Before starting treatment, you should definitely find out what exactly caused the colpitis. Experts determine the type of predominant bacteria and select the appropriate drug. Treatment of the disease during pregnancy is complex.

It includes the following activities:

• use of antibacterial drugs;
• strengthening the immune system;
• preventing relapse and re-infection.

During pregnancy, Nystatin, Pimafucin, Betadine, Terzhinan, Vagotil, Hexicon and other drugs are used. Only a qualified doctor can select a medicine. Some products can only be used at a certain stage of pregnancy. For example, Metronidazole should not be used in the first weeks. Clotrimazole is allowed only after 4 months.

One of the most common gynecological diseases is vaginitis. It is most often caused by the entry of microorganisms into the vagina, which cause inflammation of the mucous membrane. Most often these are opportunistic bacteria - staphylococci, E. coli, Proteus. They cause so-called nonspecific vaginitis.

Inflammation can also occur from the development of specific infections: trichomoniasis, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis. Vaginitis can also be caused by fungi and viruses. All of them cause the development of the inflammatory process. Therefore are the best remedy treatment, as they effectively destroy bacterial flora.

Features of treatment of vaginitis

The main goal of therapy for this disease is to restore the disturbed vaginal microflora. When pathogenic bacteria are destroyed, inflammation of the mucous membrane gradually subsides.
