A lack of estrogen during menopause leads to the development of atrophic colpitis - a disease that causes a lot of trouble to women who are over 45 years old. Currently, the Belgian company has proposed an excellent tool for the treatment of this ailment - Triozhinal. The reviews of everyone who used candles or capsules are positive.
Atrophic colpitis: what is it
Atrophic or senile colpitis is an inflammation of the walls of the vagina during a woman’s life when menstruation ceases. More than 40% of postmenopausal women have atrophic vaginitis. Postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis occurs due to thinning of the vaginal walls, urogenital or vaginal atrophy, due to a decrease in estrogen levels. This most often occurs after menopause.
Women with vaginal atrophy are more prone to chronic vaginal infections and problems with urinary function. Often, women can hear complaints of pain during intercourse.
Signs of atrophy
Atrophic colpitis is manifested by such symptoms:
- lack of vaginal lubrication (vaginal dryness);
- burning in the vagina;
- spotting after intercourse;
- pain or discomfort during it;
- prolapse of the walls of the vagina;
- pain or burning when urinating;
- frequent urination
- frequent urination at night;
- frequent urinary tract infections;
- urinary incontinence (involuntary or stressful).
In some women, symptoms occur several years before menopause, some begin to complain about them after the cessation of menstrual function, while others may not show any complaints at all. All these symptoms have previously been treated with purely estrogenic drugs or homeopathic medicines in tablet form. Not always treatment brought relief. In almost 80% of cases, the use of the drug Triozhinal is effective. Reviews confirm this statistic.
Causes of urogenital atrophy
The cause of senile colpitis is a decrease in estrogen. Without estrogen, the vaginal tissue thins and dries. It becomes less elastic, more fragile and easily injured.
A decrease in estrogen saturation may occur in other situations, including:
- while breastfeeding;
- after removal of the ovaries (surgical menopause);
- after chemotherapy for cancer;
- after radiation therapy for cancer of the pelvic organs;
- after hormone therapy of oncological processes of the mammary gland;
- in women who gave birth by caesarean section.
Smoking worsens the blood circulation of all organs, including vaginal cells. In this case, all tissues lack oxygen. Thinning of the mucosa occurs, blood flow decreases or is limited. It should be noted that smokers are also less susceptible to tablet estrogen therapy. And therefore, the use of the Triozhinal means (candles) is justified. Reviews of many note the positive effect of this drug.
Regular sexual activity helps restore vaginal cells and benefits the cardiovascular system: improves the condition of the heart and blood vessels. The Triozhinal also acts. Patient reviews confirm that some symptoms of somatic diseases disappear.
Statistics of Atrophic Disorders
Data on the prevalence of symptoms of this disease do not reflect the real situation, since most women are silent about existing problems. The frequency of the disease ranges from 3% in perimenopause to 60% in postmenopausal women lasting more than 5 years.
The composition of the "Triozhinal"
Optimal for the treatment of urogenital atrophy, especially if it is accompanied by dysuric disorders, is the drug Triozhinal - candles. The reviews of everyone who used it are always positive. The composition of the "Triozhinal" includes: estriol in an amount of 0.2 mg, progesterone - 2.0 mg, and a strain of lactobacilli, known for a high degree of affinity with the cells of the vaginal mucosa. Local use of hormones in combination with these beneficial bacteria provides an increase in the level of Doderlein sticks in the vagina and allows the drug to exert its effect almost immediately, which reduces the risk of atrophic dysuria recurrence several times. The formation of a normal vaginal biocenosis due to lactobacilli allows for effective supportive therapy of atrophy of the vaginal mucosa and bladder at a low dosage of estriol.
Dosage
The following treatment regimen with the Triozhinal drug seems to be optimal: 2 weeks, 2 capsules at a time, then 1 capsule 1 time per day for a week. And for further maintenance therapy, 1-2 capsules per week are enough. It is not necessary to use the Triozhinal tribotic (capsules) for a long time. Reviews of women confirm that it is enough to use it only for 3 weeks. And this allows you to level all the symptoms of urogenital atrophy, especially their dysuric manifestations, and significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
The effect of the drug "Triozhinal"
Doctors' reviews indicate that after the use of this drug, the vaginal biocenosis normalizes. Such an effect is not characteristic of any of the estrogen preparations used to treat atrophic colpitis. At the same time, the woman notes that the quality of sexual life has significantly improved. Dryness, discomfort during sexual contact disappeared. This is due to the fact that the optimal hormonal composition of the drug "Triozhinal" is selected. Reviews of patients indicate that the condition of the vaginal mucosa is significantly improved. This is due to the fact that trophic vaginal epithelium is normalized, the amount of glycogen increases, which allows maintaining the optimal vaginal pH - from 3.8 to 4.5. It is in such an acidic environment that the most favorable conditions for the life of the rods are created, which protect the mucosa from the negative influence of pathogenic microorganisms.
This is because the optimal amount of estriol in the Triozhinal preparation was selected. Instructions for use, reviews of gynecologists indicate that after a week the effectiveness of 0.2 mg of this natural estrogen is already visible, which affects not only the vaginal mucosa, but also all organs of the reproductive system. At the same time, not only trophic, but also blood circulation improves, the quality of cervical mucus increases.
2 mg of progesterone, which are part of the Triozhinal preparation, promote the formation of intermediate cells in the vaginal mucosa and stimulate the formation of proteins and glycogen.
The third component of Triozhinal is the dried doderlein rod strains. They provide a normal ratio of these sticks in the vagina and are resistant to various antimicrobials, which prevents the occurrence of
candidal colpitis.This ratio is represented by the Triozhinal. Instructions, reviews of gynecologists indicate that this is the most optimal set of necessary components.
Advantages of the Triozhinal
Doctors now claim that oral estrogens have no effect on the symptoms of vaginal atrophy. They are used only in the case of a combination of urogenital atrophy with menopausal disorders. Local drugs containing small doses of estrogen are more effective in the treatment of atrophic urogenital disorders, since they do not affect the whole body and do not worsen the general well-being of patients. The maximum effect of the use of these suppositories, creams, vaginal tablets and silicone vaginal rings occurs by the third month of treatment with Triozhinal.
Reviews of doctors indicate that this drug contains the estrogen hormone estriol, which has a lesser effect on the whole body of a woman. All other drugs for general and local use include hormones: 17β-estradiol, estradiol acetate, estradiol hemihydrate, conjugated estrogens, estrone. All of them in high doses can cause side effects in the form of engorgement of the mammary glands, nausea, vomiting, minor spotting from the vagina, candidiasis and psychological discomfort.
Various forms of estradiol lead to proliferation of the endometrium, and therefore, an annual assessment of the state of the uterine mucosa is required. Estriol does not affect the function of the endometrium and does not cause its hyperplasia. Therefore, in these cases, the Triozhinal tool is used. Reviews of many patients indicate a good activity of this drug for a short time of its use.
Of the side effects of treatment with Triozhinal, only pain or engorgement of the mammary glands should be noted . Rarely, there are other undesirable symptoms: burning or itching in the vagina, vaginal blood circulation , edematous syndrome.
Contraindications
There is a large list of contraindications for treatment with Triozhinal capsules, so the risks of oncological processes must be taken into account.
Diseases in which the drug is contraindicated:
- mammary cancer;
- hormone-dependent oncological processes, especially endometrial cancer ;
- liver cancer;
- vaginal bleeding;
- endometrial hyperplasia;
- liver disease with a change in biochemical parameters;
- porphyria;

With simultaneous use with Phenobarbital, Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Rifampicin, Rifabutin, Nevirapine, Efavirenz, the breakdown of estrogen increases. This decreases the effectiveness of the drug. Estrogen metabolism decreases when used together with inhibitors of microsomal liver enzymes (Ritonavir, Nelfinavir). Hypericum perforatum preparations also work.
The use of capsules "Triozhinal"
Reviews say that within a few hours after application, an improvement is felt. After the first week of admission, dysuric symptoms disappear. Some women say that Triozhinal helps in the treatment of certain gynecological diseases: adnexitis, fibroids, infertility. The correct application and implementation of all the doctor's recommendations allows you to use the “Triozhinal” (candles) for the treatment of all diseases caused by estrogen deficiency. Patient reviews are proof of this.
The price of the drug is available. Now the drug Triozhinal is in great demand. Customer reviews report that the drug can be bought at any pharmacy, and two bottles are enough just for the course of treatment.
