Treatment of oophortitis with folk remedies

Traditional recipes for eliminating vaginal itching

The main advantage of folk remedies is their extremely “mild” action. Such drugs are very difficult to overdose on, so they are classified as relatively safe. Folk remedies are also indispensable during pregnancy and breastfeeding, when taking traditional medications is very undesirable.

Expert opinion

Despite their relatively mild effects, folk remedies cannot be considered completely safe. It should be borne in mind that almost all plant components can cause allergic reactions. Moreover, hypersensitivity to them can develop precisely during gestation and lactation.

When symptoms of dryness, itching and burning appear in the external genital area, use herbal infusions. They are added to warm sitz baths, which must be used daily, and are also used for lotions that have a local effect. Here are the most effective folk recipes that can be used when the above symptoms appear:

Use warm infusions of sage, calendula and chamomile

Pour three teaspoons of chopped sage, a teaspoon of calendula oil and chamomile flowers into a glass of boiling water and let it brew for an hour. Mix with oak bark solution. Use the resulting mixture as a lotion in the morning and evening.

Chamomile decoction for bath or douching

1 tbsp. Chamomile flowers are poured with 400 ml of boiling water. After this, the broth is boiled for 5 minutes over low heat and cooled. This decoction is suitable for douching (daily for a week), as well as for adding to the bath.

Infusion of marina root and wild peony root

The infusion is prepared by steaming 1 tsp. powder obtained from dried marina root and wild peony root. To do this you will need 250 ml of boiling water. After this, the infusion must be kept for 5 minutes over low heat and left for 3 hours. The warm infusion is suitable for douching or adding to a sitz bath.

Infusion of nettle flowers

As you know, stinging nettle is an excellent remedy for relieving itching and inflammation. A decoction of its flowers in the proportion of 1 tbsp. per glass of boiling water is prepared by simmering over low heat for 2-3 minutes. The decoction is used for douching once a day.

Douching with whey or a weak solution of apple cider vinegar

Provided the woman is aware of the presence of a yeast infection, douching with a mildly acidic solution may be appropriate. However, you should not abuse this method of treatment, as it can lead to serious disruption of the microflora.

Red brush

The most popular plant, which is often recommended even by experienced specialists. Gynecologists note the anti-inflammatory and anti-infective properties of the plant. And older women will appreciate the qualities of Rhodiola cold in the fight against menopause.

Treatment can be carried out both internally and locally:

• To prepare the decoction, use 1.5 tbsp. finely chopped Rhodiola quadruple root and 0.35 liters of boiling water.

Keep in a water bath for 10 minutes, leave, strain and after ¾ hour add warm water to the volume of a glass. We drink half an hour before meals three times a day for 1 month. You can also take it for douching.

• The tincture is prepared at the rate of 25 g per piece of vodka. We wait three weeks and take 30 drops four times a day.
• For irrigation, you can take not only a decoction, but also make a special solution:

0.5 tsp tinctures per 400 ml of clean boiled water.

• You can make homemade candles; for this we use a cotton swab and a decoction.
• Herbal tea made from red brush is also popular, which can be purchased at a pharmacy or ordered online.

General recommendations for vaginal itching can also have a good effect:

• It is necessary to increase the volume of water consumed. The best option here is 2 liters of clean water per day. For example, you can make it a rule to drink a glass of water 30 minutes before meals, which will saturate the body with moisture and overcome itching associated with dry skin and mucous membranes.
• It is worth limiting the consumption of flour and sweet foods, which contribute to the growth of fungal flora. Also, limiting such products will help normalize metabolism.
• If itching occurs in the vagina, you should change your underwear exclusively to natural cotton. After all, pathogenic microflora multiply in a warm and humid environment, which can form in the intimate area due to wearing synthetic underwear that does not allow air to pass through.
• When visiting a pool or beach, you must immediately take off your swimsuit after swimming, as a humid environment will worsen the symptoms of the disease.

Burnet

This perennial plant has an excellent hemostatic and wound healing effect. Therefore, it is often used for additional therapy during the main treatment of cervical erosion, as well as uterine bleeding.

• Take it in the form of a decoction:

2 tbsp. Place the rhizome crushed into powder, place half a liter of cold water in a water bath, bring to a boil and hold for another 30 minutes. We drink 1 tbsp every 2.5-3 hours.

• In case of serious bleeding, as first aid, you can douche with a decoction or a cotton swab soaked in it.

Modern effective remedies for relieving itching

In addition to folk methods (various herbal infusions and decoctions) with which you can treat vaginal itching, modern medicine and cosmetology offer special gels for intimate areas.

Restoring gel "Ginocomfort" is an effective and affordable remedy for eliminating symptoms such as itching, burning, dryness in the vagina and labia. Its composition was developed by specialists from the pharmaceutical company VERTEX. Due to the content of chamomile extract and tea tree essential oil, panthenol, bisabolol and lactic acid, the Ginocomfort Restoring Gel allows you not only to quickly restore the normal state of the vaginal mucosa, but also to prevent the proliferation of pathogenic flora. To evaluate its effectiveness, clinical studies were conducted at the Department of Dermatovenerology with the clinic of St. Petersburg State Medical University. The product has the necessary documents and quality certificates.

Gynocomfort gels are suitable for daily use and are applied directly to damaged or inflamed genital mucosa.

After the first use, the woman experiences a significant reduction in the symptoms of itching and burning. Among other properties of these gels, it is worth noting the replenishment of the lack of lubrication in case of excessive vaginal dryness, as well as an anti-inflammatory effect.

Kirkazon

Since ancient times, women have been treated with kirkazon. If you remember its second name - aristolochia (which translated from Greek means “better birth”), then it becomes clear why kirkazon was especially popular in postpartum cleansing. Inflammation, fungal infection and unpleasant color and odor residues on the pad can be treated in no time with this plant.

• Individually, aristolochia is used as a drink:

2 tsp per 600 ml of boiling water) 2 tbsp. three times daily intake.

• But for douching, it is part of herbal preparations. If you use only fillet, then the ablutions should be plentiful and long, preferably at night. Because most often, fillet is used as an additional support for the main therapy due to the low concentration of active substances.
