Recently, the market has seen many types of "gynecological suppositories" that are loudly advertised as being effective in treating a series of gynecological diseases in women. Is it right for many people to buy and use them themselves?
Doctors recommend regular gynecological examinations.
Experts recommend that vaginal suppositories are indicated for many cases of female genital tract diseases. If you want to use them, you must have a doctor's prescription.
Recently, social networking sites have been flooded with accounts selling vaginal suppositories originating from Thailand, Korea, etc. Facebook account KN advertises vaginal suppositories G. originating from Thailand.
This account claims that just buying and placing it in the vagina will help treat vaginitis, vaginal discharge, itching, odor, and even cure cervical erosion or cervicitis. KN advises customers to only need to place 1 pill every night before going to bed to be effective, a course of two blister packs of about 10 pills costs 150,000 VND.
Not to mention, many women's groups also recommend keeping the "little girl" clean by periodically inserting a gynecological cocoon. The gynecological cocoon is advertised to clean "dirt" in the vagina, making the vagina cleaner. These people instruct self-insertion of the medicine every 2-3 months. To increase credibility, the seller also posts pictures of the "dirt" that is said to have accumulated in the vagina being eliminated after inserting the medicine.
Doctor Nguyen Le Quyen (Tu Du Hospital) said that gynecological suppositories are prescribed by doctors for patients to use for the purpose of treating gynecological infections and treating vaginal dryness during menopause.
Dr. Diem Thi Thanh Thuy (Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital) said that advertising and buying vaginal suppositories online can be dangerous to health. Especially when buyers use them without knowing their own condition. According to Dr. Thuy, gynecological infections are persistent and very difficult to treat in women.
"Each type of disease has a different treatment. For some diseases, doctors prescribe suppositories and combine them with other medications. There are also types of inflammation that only require hygiene, lifestyle changes, and diet to cure the disease. Meanwhile, the vagina is a muscular tube with an inner surface lined with a soft mucosal layer, very sensitive and capable of protecting itself from pathogens. If a woman arbitrarily inserts medication into the vagina, it will inadvertently change the vaginal environment, causing inflammation. In particular, drugs with unknown ingredients or uses that are inserted can damage the vaginal mucosa, and further can cause vaginal cancer," Dr. Thuy warned.
"If vaginitis is treated early and promptly, it will not affect fertility. On the contrary, self-treatment or self-medication can easily lead to acute or chronic inflammation," emphasized Dr. Ta Viet Cuong (Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital).
Doctor Nguyen Le Quyen added that vaginal suppositories used to treat gynecological infections will contain antibiotics or antifungal ingredients, so they must be used in the correct dosage. Overdosing can cause drug resistance, prolong treatment time, increase treatment costs, and cause discomfort.
"Note: Only use the medicine prescribed by your doctor. Do not buy medicine on your own because there is a risk of adverse effects," said Dr. Quyen.
According to Dr. Ta Viet Cuong (Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital), to protect the private area, women can clean the private area at least twice a day or after going to the toilet with clean water, without using soap. Always keep the private area dry, if you see wet underwear, you need to change it immediately. Especially during times like menstruation, after giving birth, after a maximum of 4-6 hours, you must change sanitary napkins once.
According to Dr. Cuong, there are two habits of intimate care that can easily cause women to get gynecological inflammation: using a spray nozzle and wiping with a towel. Washing the vagina with water seems very clean, but in fact, it pushes dirt and bacteria back up to the uterus. The habit of washing "deep" in the vagina can cause bacteria to increase, penetrate the uterine cavity, fallopian tubes, causing inflammation of the adnexa and adhesions of the fallopian tubes.
In addition, you should also pay attention when using towels. You should not use towels in the bathroom or share towels with many people. If the towels are not dry and clean, it will create an environment for bacteria and fungi to grow, making you susceptible to fungal and bacterial infections.
