Vaginitis or vulvovaginitis is the most frequently observed gynecological disease in the primary medical attention and it is characterized by an inflammation of the vagina that causes secretions with a characteristic scent, reddening, pain, ardor and irritation.
The normal secretion of the vagina is clear, off-white, highly viscous and without acid scent. The vagina has its own ecosystem with a balance of the bacterial flora present that includes lactobacillus spp, anaerobic and other microorganisms that are present in smaller amounts, such as: staphylococcus, streptococcus, escherichia coli, Gardnerella vaginalis ( Bacterial vaginosis) , Mycoplasma hominis and others, that are united to the vagina epithelial cells receptors and in this way they avoid the presence and entrance of undesired organisms. When this ecosystem is altered vaginitis can appear.
Vaginitis can be classified as infectious and non-infectious. The non-infectious vaginitis is mostly due to: estrogen deficit, antibiotic use, hormones , oral or topical contraceptive preparations, vaginal showers, vaginal medicines, chemical irritations, vaginal atrophy and allergies. The infectious vaginitis is responsible of 90% of the remaining types of vaginitis, being the main causes: bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis and trichomoniasis.
A formulated herbal combination based on Systemic Medicine stimulates the immunological system of defenses and attacks the causal germs, reason why it contributes to prevent and to cure infectious vaginitis, diminishing its intensity, duration and recurrence, without producing secondary effects. Some of the plants indicated for the treatment of the vaginitis are: Echinacea, Astrágalus membranáceus, Hydrastis canadensis and Tabebuia avellanedae.
We recommend to women that suffer infectious Vaginitis the use of this combination of adaptogens, which fight the causal agents of the vaginitis without producing adverse indirect effects that many of the conventional medical treatments cause, especially in those patients who have been affected for a long time.
