Suppositories to restore microflora, as a rule, are used if the body is not able to independently adjust the ratio of various bacteria. The reasons for the imbalance of bacteria in the vagina can be quite a lot. Among them are diseases of an infectious origin, hypothermia, non-observance of personal hygiene rules or a sharp change in climate.
Dysbacteriosis
Violation of the vaginal microflora is otherwise called female dysbiosis. Its development leads to the fact that the vaginal microflora, which in the normal state helps the immune system to resist harmful microorganisms, such as fungi, viruses and bacteria, does not cope with the functions assigned to it. In the future, a decrease in protective properties occurs, recurrent diseases of the genitourinary system and discomfort in the genital area, accompanied by itching, pain, burning, irritation and dryness.
To date, many drugs are presented in pharmacies, including vaginal suppositories to restore microflora in the female body. Let's consider some of them.
Vagical
Vaginal suppositories "Vagical" incorporate active components of natural origin. The preparation contains calendula extract, due to which suppositories have a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. These vaginal suppositories quickly restore the vaginal mucosa, and also have a strengthening effect on the body's immune system, protecting it from external stimuli.
Medicinal calendula contains pentadecylic and salicylic acids. Bacteria under their influence stop reproduction and eventually die. A drug is especially effective against staphylococcus and streptococcus. The effect of calendula on the female body is correlated with the effect of taking antibiotics, it promotes the regeneration of mucosal cells and prevents the formation of scars.
Normalization of blood circulation
Suppositories normalize blood circulation in the female reproductive system, which contributes to a more rapid removal of the inflammatory process. Also, the effect of the drug is aimed at healing erosion.
Candles for the restoration of microflora "Vagical" can increase the quality of life of a woman who has entered the menopause. Calendula extract, which contains a large amount of mucus and polysaccharides, helps eliminate itching, dryness and irritation.
Before introducing a suppository, it must be moistened with warm boiled water. Candles dissolve pretty quickly. The most commonly prescribed scheme for the use of Vagical suppositories is two suppositories per day, morning and evening. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor and is usually a week.

What other candles to restore microflora exist?
Gynoflor
The drug is available in the form of tablets for vaginal administration. It is intended to restore female microflora and treat dysbiosis. The composition of Gynoflora includes the synthetic hormone estriol and lactobacilli, useful for microflora in general.
Candles for the restoration of microflora after thrush are indispensable.
Beneficial microorganisms settle in the vagina and create an acidic environment that prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. Lactic acid is produced in an amount sufficient to regenerate and protect the genital mucosa.
Due to the vital activity of the lactobacilli that make up the vaginal tablets, bacteriocins are produced. The latter adversely affect harmful bacteria.
Estriol is a kind of estrogen that is produced by a woman’s ovaries. In suppositories with lactobacilli to restore the Ginoflor microflora, estriol is necessary in order to promote the growth of mucous membrane cells and, accordingly, their recovery. This improves the condition of the vaginal walls. In addition, estriol can resist unpleasant symptoms that occur against the background of menopause.
Ginoflor vaginal tablets increase the protective properties of the female body in opposing external stimuli, which is due to the function of the barrier of the vaginal mucosa.
