Gynoflor E, vaginal tablets 6 pcs

Gynoflor E is an antimicrobial and antiseptic agent used in gynecology. It contains active substances identical to those naturally found in the human vagina. A healthy vagina is in a state of biological balance and has a natural defense mechanism against infections.

Lactobacilli bacteria are a major part of this defense mechanism; they produce lactic acid and other substances that have anti-infective effects. The production of lactic acid results in an acidic environment that promotes Lactobacilli bacteria and inhibits the development of pathogens.

Disruption or destruction of the vaginal lactic acid flora can occur due to treatment with certain drugs (e.g. antibiotics), due to local infections, serious systemic diseases or improper hygiene measures (vaginal rinses and showers). Gynoflor E contains high doses of viable Lactobacilli bacteria to help restore the natural vaginal flora. In addition to the natural flora, the condition of the vaginal epithelium is very important for the natural defense mechanism of the vagina. It can be damaged by fluctuating or deficient hormone levels (especially during or after menopause) and vaginal infections.

The second active ingredient in Gynoflor E is estriol, which is the natural female sex hormone. Estriol, even in the very low dose contained in Gynoflora E, ensures restoration of the vaginal epithelium, good blood circulation in it, sufficient thickness, elasticity and its hydration. It is also important for the development of Lactobacilli bacteria in the vagina. Both Lactobacilli bacteria and estriol act locally in the vagina.

The lactose in the vaginal tablets can be quickly fermented by Lactobacilli bacteria into lactic acid. Thus, after the first use of the drug, the reproduction and recolonization of Lactobacilli bacteria begins.
