Endometriosis can only be cured surgically, however, at the initial stage of its manifestation, it can be eliminated medically. As a complement to the conservative method, candles have a different spectrum of influence. Suppositories are used to treat almost all diseases of the female reproductive system. This method of drug administration is very convenient, since it does not affect the gastrointestinal tract, the drug is not destroyed in the liver.
Although topical treatment is not as effective as systemic, it is still prescribed as part of complex therapy. For this purpose, gels, creams, therapeutic tampons and douching are recommended for use. But nevertheless, the most popular are candles with endometriosis.
Is it advisable to use candles?
Quite often, doctors prescribe to their patients precisely anal or rectal suppositories. In this case, vaginal administration of the drug is most effective in cases where the disease affects the vagina or cervix, since in this case the affected areas are in direct contact with the drug.
These candles can not only be called differently, but also have differences in the principle of exposure. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antitumor suppositories are quite common. They are not used as the main therapy or for monotherapy, however, as a component of complex treatment, they can be quite effective. So, what suppositories for endometriosis in gynecology are used?
Use for endometriosis
For what reason, drugs in this dosage form are prescribed quite often with endometriosis and myoma? This occurs mainly because they have a directed effect, are absorbed and maximize their influence exactly where it is required.
Suppositories also have a local effect on tissues, promote healing and increase local tissue immunity, and eliminate inflammation. In addition, the use of local drugs reduces the likelihood of further infection.
Types of Suppositories
Suppositories for endometriosis are used in various forms. Some of them are intended to increase immunity and the body's ability to independently combat pathology. Others contribute to pain relief and eliminate pain symptoms. Still others affect the hormonal background and have antitumor activity.
Pain management
Analgesic suppositories have become widespread due to their property of active absorption and faster action compared to tablets. Also, they do not destructively affect the gastric mucosa. The most effective suppositories are considered for endometriosis of the uterus, such as Indomethacin, Diclofenac, Anuzole.
These drugs act exactly in the place where they were injected, relieve spasm and analgesic. If you use them regularly, then they can produce a noticeable anti-inflammatory effect.
Hormonal background
Most often, progesterone suppositories are prescribed for endometriosis, which make it possible to make up for the deficiency of this hormone. It is contained in them in pure form together with excipients. Preferably, the following agents are prescribed.
"Utrozhestan". They are used one at a time for six days or longer. If the use is long, then you need to take a break during your period. The cost of such a drug is approximately three hundred twenty-seven rubles. Contraindications include: impaired renal and hepatic function, various diseases of the brain and central nervous system, etc.
Suppositories "Longidaza" with endometriosis. The tool prevents adhesions, because with endometritis, the mucous membrane becomes inflamed. The active substance prevents the growth of the endometrium. From all the information, we can conclude that with the help of suppositories, women are actively fighting endometriosis. In other cases, suppositories are prescribed to support local immunity and do not directly affect the success of therapy.
"Terzhinan" is also appointed quite often. This drug is characterized by a similar composition and a similar mechanism of action, as a result of which it is prescribed for the same period. Such a tool costs about three hundred and sixty rubles.
To use candles to treat endometriosis on their own is in no case recommended. The question of their appointment is decided by the doctor solely on the basis of the results of the hormone analysis submitted by the patient.
Effect on immunity and absorbable effect
With endometriosis, it is very important to increase immunity to help the body suppress cell division on its own. Suppositories are also used for this purpose. In this case, the rectal preparation “Viferon”, which has in its composition human interferon and practically has no contraindications, is mainly prescribed. It can not be taken only if there is intolerance to any component. It helps to strengthen both local and general immunity. These candles are used for endometriosis in gynecology (the names of analogues can be clarified by a doctor) one per day, namely before bedtime. They are sold in a pharmacy and cost about a hundred rubles.
Candles with sea buckthorn oil and propolis
Among the remedies that exist in traditional medicine, propolis candles are the most popular. It must be said right away that treatment is not suitable for all patients due to the increased allergenicity of the natural component. In addition, honey is almost always included, which is also a very strong allergen. Candles are usually based on cocoa butter, which remains solid at room temperature, but at thirty-two to thirty-five degrees it melts and is well absorbed into the mucosa of the rectum or vagina.
Suppositories with endometriosis with propolis have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulating, antiseptic and other properties that help reduce pain, and at the initial stage they can completely eliminate endometriosis.
The course of therapy includes ten suppositories, which can be purchased both in the pharmacy and prepared at home on their own.
Sea buckthorn suppositories are also widely used. For example, suppositories “Uroginekorin” have anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and hemostatic effects. In addition, solutions used for douching are made from sea buckthorn oil, and intravaginal tampons are also impregnated with them.
