Everything You Need To Know About Birth Control

What is birth control (contraception)?

All methods that prevent unwanted pregnancy are called birth control or contraception. Birth control is a very important topic for all sexually active women. Every woman should protect herself from unwanted pregnancy. There are lots of contraceptive (birth control) methods available to protect you from unwanted pregnancy. Not each method is suitable for each woman; it is up to you to choose the method that is most suitable for you. Also, the effectiveness of some methods depends on whether they are used correctly. To help you to get to know contraceptive methods and their potential side effects, we’ve made a list of the most commonly used forms of contraception.

What are the main types of contraception?

Natural methods of birth control: calendar method, cervical mucus monitoring, temperature method, withdrawal method;
2. Local methods of contraception: condom and spermicides;
3. Barrier methods of contraception: cervical cap and diaphragm;
4. Hormonal methods of contraception: birth control pills, skin patches, and vaginal
ring;
5. Emergency (post-coital) method of contraception: “the day after pill”;
6. Intrauterine devices (IUDs): copper IUD and the hormonal IUD;
7. Sterilization.

What are the natural methods of contraception?

Calendar method of contraception (rhythm method)
A woman can get pregnant only during fertile days (five days before and during ovulation). The calendar method of contraception involves tracking fertile and infertile days to prevent unwanted pregnancy. To be able to use the calendar method of contraception, it is necessary to know exactly how many days your menstrual cycle lasts. The menstrual cycle should last 28 days on average. Ovulation occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, so if your cycle is 28 days long, ovulation will happen 14 days before the next period starts. If you have regular periods and know exactly when your next period will start, this calendar method of contraception can help you. But if your periods are irregular and occur at different time each month, this calendar method of contraception is unreliable for you.

Cervical mucus monitoring
Cervical mucus is produced around the cervix and its role is to protect, nourish and help sperm to reach the uterus. Cervical mucus changes during the menstrual cycle. During fertile days, it has a very specific appearance and you can easily recognize when ovulation will happen. During this period, the cervical mucus is transparent, stretchy/elastic, liquid, like raw egg white.

How to take basal temperature (BBT)?

It is believed that the process of ovulation has passed when your body temperature rises suddenly. Elevated body temperature lasts until the next period. If you got pregnant, your basal temperature will still be elevated, and your period will be absent that month. The ideal time to take your BBT is first thing in the morning before you get out of bed. To use this method, you must take your temperature the same way every single day, for several months to get to know your body and normal body temperature.

Withdrawal method
This method is used very often. It means stopping the sexual intercourse before ejaculation. This method is also one of the unsafe methods because sometimes a small amount of sperm can be expelled before ejaculation.

What is local contraception?

Local contraceptives include condoms and spermicides.

Condoms
A condom can be both male and female. The most popular type of condom is a male condom. The percentage of protection is about 98%. Female condom is similar to male condom. You must insert it into the vagina just before intercourse. The percentage of protection is 95%. Condom come in a variety of size, scent, and color. For it accuracy, you must use it during each and entire sexual intercourse. Also, after each sexual intercourse, make sure the condom is still intact, because a condom can break during sexual intercourse. That is why you can not use it with oily products. You can use it only with water-based moisturizers for the vagina. A condom is one of the most effective contraceptive methods. It also protects you from sexually transmitted diseases.

Spermicides
The use of spermicides mainly destroys sperm before entering the uterus. Most of them also have an antiseptic effect and prevent the development of vaginal infections.

What are the barrier methods of contraception?

Barrier contraceptive methods include the cervical cap and diaphragm. Women use both methods in the same way. The difference between them is that the cervical cap can stay in the vagina for a few days after sexual intercourse, while the diaphragm can stay only 2-8 hours. They have a similar shape, like a hat. You must insert it into the vagina no longer than 6 hours before sexual intercourse. Also, you can use it with the spermicides. The diaphragm covers the cervix and prevents sperm penetration. The cervical cap is smaller than the diaphragm and covers only the cervix. Diaphragms shelf-life can be up to two years.

What is hormonal contraception?

By hormonal contraception, we include consumption of contraceptive pills, using a vaginal ring and skin patch. Consumption of birth control pills is a very common contraceptive method. Contraceptive pills work according to the system of releasing hormones in the body that prevent ovulation. The percentage of effectiveness of these tablets is very high, about 99%. The contraceptive pill must be taken regularly (every day) and always at the same time.

How to use birth control pills?

There are different types of birth control pills. Each type has its way of use that you must follow. Most birth control pills you take orally 1 pill a day for 21 days (3 weeks) in a row, starting on the first day of your menstrual cycle. After 21 days, menstrual bleeding will start, and you will stop taking the pills. During menstrual bleeding, you should take a 7-day break from taking pills. After the break, you will start with new pack for next 21 days.
Oral contraception can also help you with other health problems: delaying the menstrual cycle, regulating the menstrual cycle, in the treatment of problematic skin, etc. Contraceptive pills are safe to use. Talk to your gynecologist about which pills are best for you. If you find bleeding in the middle of your menstrual cycle at the beginning of use, don’t worry because it is a normal occurrence. You can use the contraceptive pills at any time of your life from the age of 16 until menopause.

What are skin patches and how to use them?

The skin patch is method of hormonal contraception that sticks to the skin. It releases hormones through the skin. These hormones prevent the fertilization of the egg. Therapy with these patches lasts 21 days. One patch you have to change every seven days. After 3 weeks, menstrual bleeding will start, and you will stop using patches. After menstrual bleeding, you can continue with the therapy. The effectiveness of the contraceptive patch is over 99%.

What is a vaginal ring and how to use it?

The vaginal ring is inserted into the vagina. It also contains progesterone and estrogen, which prevent the fertilization of the egg. Vaginal ring therapy lasts 21 days. After that, menstrual bleeding will start, and you will stop using vaginal ring. After menstrual bleeding, you can continue with vaginal ring therapy. The effectiveness of the vaginal ring is about 99%.

Do contraceptives (hormone therapy) affect health?

Contraception (hormone therapy) disrupts the vaginal flora, creating an ideal environment for the development of vaginal infection. During hormone therapy, you must also take vaginal probiotic to avoid vaginal infections. By using FemmaBiotic, you can increase the amount of “good” bacteria, develop a normal vaginal flora, and avoid vaginal infections.

What is emergency (post-coital) contraception?

Post-coital contraception, also known as emergency contraception, is a contraceptive method that women use within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Women use “the day after pill” due to the lack of regular contraception or if the condom has broken. The day after pill should be taken in the first 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. This pill postpones ovulation and prevents the egg from fertilizing. If you take this pill after unprotected intercourse, there is a high chance you will not get pregnant. You should use this pill only in extreme situations, not daily. But, It is better to take this pill than to terminate a pregnancy. You should only take this pill once a year. If you take it more often, it can lead to menstrual disorders. If the period is absent, make an appointment with your gynecologist.

What is intrauterine contraception?

Intrauterine contraception (IUD) is a form of contraception that involves inserting an IUD into the uterus. Here are some examples of spirals. Copper IUD and the hormonal IUD are only available on the market here. Gynecologists place and remove the IUD. The ideal time to insert it in, is the second or third day of the menstrual cycle. The insertion takes just a few minutes and is painless; the only thing you may experience is some discomfort. The IUD is simple to use. The benefit of this form of contraception is that once you place the IUD, you no longer have to think about contraception, and you can easily remove it. The hormonal IUD releases a small number of hormones into the uterine mucosa, preventing the egg from fertilizing. Hormones act locally and the body doesn’t absorb them. Since it may minimize bleeding, this IUD is suitable for women who have heavy menstrual bleeding. The copper coil also acts locally, releasing copper ions, but menstrual bleeding may become more abundant than before the coil. Gynecological examination is necessary before the insertion of a IUD.

What is male and female sterilization?

Sterilization is an operation to permanently prevent pregnancy. Sterilization procedures for women are called tubal ligation. The procedure for men is called vasectomy. The advantage is that it is extremely effective, but the downside is that it is almost always irreversible. The decision to sterilize should be carefully considered, as it is common for patients to develop psychiatric illnesses as a result of the loss of fertility.

Everything You Need to Know About Menstruation

What is menstruation?

All you need to know about menstruation is a text intended for all girls and women of all ages and ages Every month, a woman’s body prepares for pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t happen, menstrual bleeding (menstruation) occurs. Menstruation is a normal vaginal bleeding that occurs once a month. Menstruation is a normal vaginal bleeding that occurs once a month. Menstruation occurs due to hormonal changes in the body, which cause thickening of the lining of your uterus, in order to be ready to receive the fertilized egg from which the baby grows. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining and the blood flows out of your body through your vagina.

When does first menstruation start?

Every woman is different and every woman will get menstruation in a different period. In most cases, menstruation starts between the ages of 10 and 15.

How many days is a normal period?

How many days is a normal menstrual cycle?

The average length of the menstrual cycle should be 28 days. This means that the woman bleeds every 28 days. The average length of the menstrual cycle is between 20 and 35 days. It is best to keep track of how many days you menstruate each month in order to determine the average duration of your menstrual cycle.

What color of menstrual blood is normal?

During the first two days, when menstrual bleeding is most intense, the blood is red. However, sometimes at the beginning and of the end of the menstrual cycle, it can be dark brown and pink.

What is premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?

The symptoms of menstruation vary in most women. Additional symptoms include: abdominal or pelvic cramps, headache, bloating, breast enlargement,…

How to get rid of menstrual cramps?

There are several ways to get rid of menstrual cramps: by exercising; by running; by sleeping; putting a heating pad; taking a medication;

What are the stages of the menstrual cycle?

Menstrual phase From the 1st to the 5th day of the menstrual cycle: during this period, the uterus sheds its lining and the blood flows out of your body through your vagina. Basal body temperature is at its lowest level. The abdominal cramps are present.

Follicular phase
From the 6th to the 13th day of the menstrual cycle: this phase starts after menstrual bleeding and lasts until ovulation. During this period, new uterus lining is created. The new lining gradually thickens and becomes more and more circulating in order to prepare the conditions for the implantation of the fertilized egg cell – the embryo. The vaginal discharge during this period becomes wet, whitish, and sticky. During this period, it is possible to get pregnant even if there is still time until ovulation because sperm can survive up to 5 days in a woman’s body.

Ovulation phase
Day 14 of the menstrual cycle: After ovulation, the basal body temperature rises sharply and remains elevated until the next menstruation. The basal body temperature decreases 1 day before menstruation. If pregnancy happens during the ovulation process, the basal body temperature will remain elevated and this will be one of the first signs of pregnancy.

Luteal phase
5th to 22nd day of the menstrual cycle: After ovulation, hormones continue to maintain a thickened layer on the inner wall of the uterus. 22nd to 24th day of the menstrual cycle: Progesterone is at its highest level. Day 25 of the menstrual cycle: If pregnancy doesn’t happen, the drop in progesterone causes the shedding of the lining of the uterus. But if pregnancy did happen progesterone levels remain elevated. Day 28 of the menstrual cycle: Progesterone drops sharply, causing a sudden drop in basal body temperature. If you are not pregnant, you can expect menstruation the next day. If you are pregnant, high levels of progesterone keep the basal body temperature elevated.

First Gyno Exam: Everything You Need To Know ../en/first-gyno-exam-everything-you-need-to-know/ ../en/first-gyno-exam-everything-you-need-to-know/#comments Fri, 06 Aug 2021 07:04:41 +0000 ../?p=1790

First Gyno Exam: Everything You Need To Know

When is the right time for a first visit to the gynecologist?

Most young girls are terrified of their first gynecological exam. Because of that if you don’t have any gynecological conditions, you don’t need to have an exam. Your first visit to the gynecologist can be in the form of a conversation, which will help you to build trust and overcome your fear of a real exam. The best time to visit a gynecologist for the first time is before the first menstruation, so you can learn how to take care of your intimate health. You may also go with your parents or friends.

What can you learn from a gynecologist?

The gynecologist will inform you about all aspects of gynecological health, including intimate health, menstruation, vaginal infections, sex, sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptives, pregnancy, etc. All of these topics are crucial, and it is important that you know everything about them.

When you have to visit a gynecologist?

You should visit your gynecologist: when you notice tingling, pain, increased discharge, menstrual irregularities, bleeding, sores; before you become sexually active; after you become sexually active; regardless of whether you’ve had sex or not, at least once before turning 21.

How to prepare for a gynecological exam?

If you want to see your gynecologist after your period, make an appointment between the 8th and 12th day of your menstrual cycle; Don’t use vaginal pills, creams, gels for intimate care, or strong soaps a day or two before seeing a gynecologist because they can mess with the results of swabs and PAPA tests and mask the real situation. For intimate care, use only lukewarm water or a mild gel; If you can, wear a skirt to make it more comfortable for you; Don’t have sex for at least 24 hours before your gynecological exam; If you have questions for your gynecologist, plan them at home because it is common for girls or women to forget to ask everything they wanted when they come for a gynecological exam; A gynecologist doesn’t care if you shave or not.

What does a gynecological exam include?

Gynecological exam include anamnesis and inspection.

The first part of the gynecological exam – anamnesis Anamnesis means giving information about age, first menstrual cycle, date of last menstruation, use of contraceptives, drug allergy, gynecological problems, and the reason for visiting a gynecologist as well.

The second part of the gynecological examinspection After the conversation, the examination will begin in a lying position on the gynecological table.
Inspection is divided into the examination of external genital organs and examination of internal genital organs. Inspection – examination of the external genital organs The doctor first inspects the external genital organs. The external genital organs include the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, Bartholin glands, and clitoris. This examination may detect irritation, discoloration, cysts, discharge, or other abnormalities. Inspection – examination of the internal genital organs Examination of the internal genital organs is performed in two ways. The first method is a colposcopy examination, and the second one is a bimanual pelvic examination (BPE).

What’s a colposcopy?

Colposcopy is a procedure to closely examine your cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease using a colposcope. Under high magnification, the cervix, vagina, and vulva can be examined even more clearly with this instrument. The ability to magnify the instrument from 10 to 60 times enables the detection of changes that are not visible to the naked eye. The examination lasts up to ten minutes. It is important to stay calm during the test; otherwise, the muscles of the small pelvis will be tense, making the examination difficult and painful. Once a year, colposcopy should be done. After this, the doctor will take a cervix and vaginal swab, for the existence of sexually transmitted infections, and the Pap test. The doctor will also take a test on vaginal discharge.

What is the purpose of colposcopy?

If the colposcopy is done regularly (once a year), it is possible to detect changes on the surface of the cervix very early, which, if not treated in time, can turn into cervical cancer. Pre-existing cervical cancer can also be recognized in the early or late stages.

What is Pap Smear?

The Pap smear detects the cervix and premalignant changes. The Pap smear is very important for every woman, especially for those who are in the reproductive period. The test is done by taking a swab from the cervix’s surface. The first Pap smear should be done no later than 2 to 3 years after the first sex, and then once a year as part of a routine gynecological exam.
How is a bimanual pelvic examination (BPE) performed? BPE is performed by the gynecologist by placing two fingers inside the vagina to feel the position, size, and painful sensitivity of the organs in the small pelvis: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina.

What does a transvaginal ultrasound look like?

The ultrasound test is carried out using an ultrasound probe. Your bladder must be empty for the purposes of this test. The ultrasound probe is shielded with a condom before being slowly inserted into the vagina. This technique is not harmful. The uterus, ovaries, and pelvic region are then thoroughly examined. This test lasts between 5 and 10 minutes.

What does a gyno test for virgins look like?

An ultrasound test cannot be performed vaginally in virgins. It must be performed through the abdomen or rectally. If the test is performed through the abdomen, the bladder must be full. One hour before the test, you can drink one liter of water. The hymenal opening is often found during an external vaginal inspection. The easiest way to perform a gynecological test on virgins is rectally, since the ovaries and uterus can be seen better this way.

How often should you get a gynecological exam?
All women should have a pelvic exam at least once per year, which includes: colposcopy; pap smear; test on vaginal discharge; transvaginal ultrasound. This regular gynecological exam is needed to identify potential diseases such as uterine and ovarian cancer, and other infectious sexually transmitted diseases. Of course, if you feel the need for more frequent exams, you can visit your gynecologist.

When to see a gynecologist?
You can see your gynecologist whenever you want. Also, visit your gynecologist if you begin to experience: itching or burning; pain; increased discharge; irregular menstrual cycle; heavy and painful menstrual bleeding; you are pregnant or want the baby; bleeding in menopause; infertility or other unusual changes.

My experience with FemmaBiotic: How I got rid of Escherichia Coli and persistent urinary tract infection ../en/my-experience-with-femmabiotic-how-i-got-rid-of-escherichia-coli-and-persistent-urinary-tract-infection/ Fri, 06 Aug 2021 06:56:52 +0000 ../?p=1796

My experience with FemmaBiotic: How I got rid of Escherichia Coli and persistent urinary tract infection

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are serious health conditions and are the most common infections. Urinary tract infections are often persistent, recurrent, and long-lasting. A weak immune system, the presence of E. coli, and a low number of “good” bacteria increase the risk of persistent and recurrent urinary tract infections. About 75% to 95% of UTIs are caused by E. coli. UTIs can be very unpleasant and they can reoccur many times during the year in a certain number of cases. FemmaBiotic helps in the treatment and prevention of UTIs, including acute, chronic, and recurring infections. We are sharing with you the experience with FemmaBiotic of our patient Anja, who started consuming it in order to stop persistent and recurrent UTIs and E. coli.

Anja, what is your experience with E. coli and persistent urinary tract infection?

got E. coli as a result of a weak immune system. E. coli bacteria normally live in our intestines and contribute to the protection of our digestive tract; however, when our immune system is weak, the amount of this type of bacteria increases dramatically, causing a problem. This happened to me. I couldn’t get rid of her for 6 months. E. coli is a difficult type of bacteria to eliminate. Proper therapy is crucial for recovery.

What were your initial UTI and E. coli symptoms?

I had a frequent need to pee. I had burning urination and my urine was foul-smelling and cloudy. When I went to the gynecologist, we identified Escherichia coli in a vaginal swab.

How did you get rid of E. coli and UTI?

E. coli was gone after the first antibiotic treatment, but she reappeared after just a few days. And so for the next 5 months. She kept returning after every antibiotic therapy. I didn’t know what else to do. I tried everything. I drank a lot of fluids, Cranberry tea, Uvin tea, but nothing gave lasting results. All seemed to be fleeting. E. coli clung to the bladder wall and refusing to leave.

What is your experience with FemmaBiotic in a fight against E. coli and persistent UTI?

After a difficult five months, I decided to change something. I couldn’t take it any longer. Since I realized that my urinary tract infection was caused by a lack of immunity, I decided to change my diet radically. Improper diet, carbonated drinks, and sweets increase the organism’s acidity and E. coli is a type of bacteria that likes an acidic environment. I went to the pharmacy to look for a probiotic that could help me to boost my immunity. The pharmacist suggested me FemmaBiotic. She told me that FemmaBiotic is one of the best-selling vaginal probiotics and that both girls and women buy it regularly. She is even a consumer, and she is very happy with the performance. With a complete change of diet, proper food, regular antibiotic therapy, and consumption of the vaginal probiotic FemmaBiotic as well – E. coli disappeared. FemmaBiotic helped me to increase the number of good bacteria that disappeared after antibiotic therapy and helped me to boost my immune system and prevent the recurrence of urinary tract infection. The use of this probiotic had a positive effect on my health and on boosting my immunity. FemmaBiotic regenerated my gastrointestinal tract and helped me to get rid of E. coli and persistent urinary tract infections.

Did E. coli return after a certain period?

I continued to drink FemamBiotic after the urinary tract infection. I take it for 10-20 days, then take a month or two off and repeat. The UTI did not reoccur. It is important to me that FemmaBiotic is safe; there are no side effects, and it can be used by both girls and pregnant women. Find out how to have a healthy and carefree pregnancy here.

The use of vaginal probiotics in order to boost immunity

The balance of good bacteria determines the complete health of the organism, and the imbalance leads to immunity decline and disease. The role of probiotics in strengthening immunity, both local and systemic, is crucial, since improving intestinal immunity improves systemic immunity. FemmaBiotic restores and maintains a healthy intestinal flora, restores normal vaginal flora, and prevents the occurrence of urinary and vaginal infections. FemmaBiotic contains a concentration of seven billion lactobacilli in only one capsule. The daily dose of vaginal probiotic FemmaBiotic (one capsule per day) greatly raises the number of lactobacilli, keeps the vaginal flora healthy, and prevents the development of vaginal infections.

My Labor And Delivery Experience ../en/my-labor-and-delivery-experience/ ../en/my-labor-and-delivery-experience/#comments Fri, 06 Aug 2021 06:44:55 +0000 ../?p=1801

My Labor And Delivery Experience

The birth of a baby is the happiest moment in every woman’s life, even though women are sometimes terrified of it. But it is understandable in some ways. Childbirth has always been a female topic. Women shared their experiences with each other, whether they were hard or easy to handle, so it is very possible that fear was born in that way in other girls. But that shouldn’t be the case. This experience is very individual. Each woman’s pain tolerance is different and each woman has another way of experiencing birth. It’s important to be optimistic, cheerful and everything will be fine. We are sharing with you birth experience of our patient Ivana, who decided to give birth naturally.

Ivana, what’s your childbirth experience?

the most beautiful thing in the world. I believe that every woman should experience pregnancy and childbirth. My birth experience was very positive. My delivery was five days after my due date. The night before I gave birth, I walked a lot with my husband. During the walk, I noticed that my moves were difficult and that my stomach felt heavy. When we arrived home, the contractions started. 60 seconds per 5 minutes. The pain was like the worst menstrual pain. I knew I would give birth soon. I started to prepare slowly. I took a shower and packed all my things. Six hours after the contractions started, my water broke. After that, we went to the hospital.

Did you take childbirth classes?

I attended online childbirth classes, and I am very satisfied. They taught us everything we needed to know to be fully prepared for childbirth and life with a baby. As a true nerd, I wrote down and learned everything to be fully prepared for childbirth. In online childbirth classes we learned: how to time contractions; when it is time to go to the hospital; what to pack in the hospital bag; breathing techniques; stretching exercises; how to breastfeed, etc. What did u pack in your hospital bag? The most important things to take with you to the hospital are: health card; ID card; blood type and the most recent blood picture report; all files and documents; postpartum maxi pads; mesh underwear; pajamas; slippers (one for showering one for the room); towels; toiletries; povidone-iodine foam for washing wound; octenisept toilet bowl liners; bed mats;

What did your preparation for childbirth look like?

Before I got pregnant, I had a lot of vaginal infections. Even at the beginning of my pregnancy, I had a yeast infection. Following the infection, I took every precaution to ensure the well-being of my pregnancy. More serious plans have begun in the last three months of my pregnancy. I didn’t want to risk getting a vaginal infection again during this time and passing it on to my baby. As a result, by my gynecologist’s advice, I began taking the vaginal probiotic FemmaBiotic 3 months before the birth to brace for the birth. FemmaBiotic is a vaginal probiotic that improves immunity, preserves balanced vaginal flora, and prevents bacteria from developing. Most importantly, it is formulated and adapted for pregnant women, and it is absolutely safe to consume during pregnancy. I didn’t have vaginal infections before or after the birth, and all went perfectly.

What did your birth look like?

When we arrived at the hospital and passed the admission, I went to change and return all the clothes that I had with me to my husband because I couldn’t keep them. Then, I went to the enema room. The enema wasn’t painful; I just walked around for a few minutes to increase the effectiveness of the enema, then I went to the bathroom and took a shower. Then I went to the hospital room. They hooked me up for induction so that I could open up quicker. The opening and the entire time in the hospital room were more painful than the birth itself while the baby was coming out. But this is normal because induction contractions hurt much more than ordinary natural contractions. It was incredibly painful, but I managed to gather the strength. I was eventually moved to the labor and delivery room. Delivery passed so quickly. I just had to push twice before the baby was born. After the baby is born, the pain disappears, and then came the most beautiful and happy experience of my life: I saw my baby. When they gave me my baby, I was filled with happiness and love. Soon after, baby and I were taken to a room.

What does postpartum recovery look like?

After two days, I left the hospital. There were no complications or pain. All happened in a blur. I slept, was cautious, and avoided abrupt and repeated movements as well as a vigorous activity for 6 weeks after giving birth. It took some time for all of the organs to return to their original positions and shapes. Now I can do it all over again.

My experience with FemmaBiotic: How to recognize and treat a vaginal infection

Women in the reproductive period are much more prone to the development of vaginal infections due to an active sexual life and regular menstruation. During menstruation, due to hormonal changes, the pH of the vaginal flora is disrupted, which contributes to infection after the period ends. Many women inevitably get vaginal infections after the period endsand even 40% of them have problems with recurrent vaginal infections. We are sharing with you the experience with FemmaBiotic of our patient Jelena, who, in agreement with her gynecologist, decided to consume it in order to prevent persistent bacterial vaginosis that returns every month after her period ends.

Jelena what is your experience with vaginal infections?

I got my first vaginal infection when I was 25 years old. I didn’t even know that I had a vaginal infection. During the sex, I felt intense pain and I started to research on the web what it was about. Based on the information I found, I began to suspect that it was a vaginal infection. The discharge was different, but I thought it was normal because of the stressful period I went through. I thought it would last a couple of days and it would stop, but it didn’t happen. After a few days, I got my period. I thought the condition would improve after my period ends, but it didn’t. It just got worse. My underwear was constantly messy and had a fishy smell.

How did you treat your vaginal infection?

I decided to go to the gynecologist. That’s the safest way. A positive smear test confirmed my guesses and we diagnosed bacterial vaginosis (BV). My gynecologist recommended antibiotics for seven days. After seven days, my condition improved significantly. The pain and the unpleasant smell disappeared, and my underwear was tidy again, but only until the next period ended!

What happened after the next period ended?

After the next period ended, my underwear was the same as before. It was constantly mossy and had an unpleasant smell. The smell was so unpleasant that I constantly felt it and thought that everyone around me could feel it. I didn’t know why BV came back. When I went to the gynecologist again, he told me to take antibiotics again. In the following period, the situation was repeated every month after my period ended. I didn’t know what else to do. I wasn’t ready to talk about this problem with my mother and friends because I was embarrassed and thought it was just happening to me.

How did you deal with BV?

After persistent recurrences of BV, I decided to talk with my friend. She told me that she also went through it and that her gynecologist helped her. I decided to go to her gynecologist and try to solve the problem. I couldn’t take it anymore. When such things happen to you, you cannot be successful in other areas of life. You would do anything to get rid of it. Her gynecologist explained to me the causes of my BV. The female genitalia is very tender and sensitive and we can get a vaginal infection very easily. We have to be careful what underwear we wear, what pads and gels we use. But what meant the most to me was that he recommended the consumption of a vaginal probiotic – FemmaBiotic. He explained to me that antibiotics can help, but that they also destroy good bacteria along with bad ones. Therefore, the consumption of a vaginal probiotic is mandatory with the consumption of antibiotics in order to compensate for the good bacteria that disappeared together with the bad bacteria after consuming the antibiotics.

What is your experience with FemmaBiotic in the fight against vaginal infection?

I drank one capsule of FemmaBiotic every day for 3 months. BV has disappeared. Now, during my period and a few days after, I always take FemmaBiotic preventively every month in order to keep my vaginal flora healthy and to prevent the recurrence of vaginal infection. What other habits have helped you in the fight with vaginal infections? Besides regular consumption of FemmaBiotic I started to wear only cotton underwear.It allows my body to breathe. I also regularly record and track my menstrual cycle and I know how my discharge should look like every week. We have to be careful and track our body.Only in that case will we know when and how to react. I also changed the intimate hygiene gel.Girls often go for perfume scents thinking that it will not harm them, and very often the gels themselves can cause infections if they are too strong and perfumed.

Menopause: Everything You Need to Know

What is menopause?

Menopause is the end of the female reproductive life. It is a point in time one year after a woman’s last period. Hormonal changes during menopause occur when a woman’s body stops producing eggs.

When does menopause start?

When menopause will occur depends on many factors. Every woman is different and every woman will enter menopause at different times. A higher percentage of women begin menopause from the age of 48 to 50. A smaller percentage of women begin menopause very early, from the age of 40 to 43. About one percent of women begin menopause before the age of 40, which is called premature menopause. The causes of premature menopause are very different and individual. It is also important to know that menopause does not occur all at once. A few years before menopause, the premenopausal period starts.

What are the stages of menopause?

The three stages of menopause:

  1. Perimenopause
  2. Menopause
  3. Postmenopause Perimenopause

Period Perimenopause is a point in time ten years before menopause. During this period, hormonal changes gradually occur in a woman’s body, followed by irregular menstrual cycles and various clinical indications. Significant hormonal changes occur about 6-8 years before menopause, followed by irregular menstrual cycles and various clinical indications. This period is called perimenopause.

Menopause or climacteric is a period when a woman’s body stops producing eggs. Menopause includes perimenopause and the first ten years of postmenopause.

Postmenopause is a period in a woman’s life that takes place after menopause. Postmenopause is divided into two stages: early and late postmenopause. Early postmenopause occurs before the age of 70, and late postmenopause or selenium occurs after the age of 70. Postmenopause lasts about ten years.

What is surgical menopause?

Surgical menopause occurs after a surgery that removes the ovaries due to various diseases of women (ovarian cancer, endometriosis, breast cancer,..).

What are the symptoms of menopause?

The symptoms of menopause depend on the stage of menopause in which they occur. Depending on the stage in which they occur, there are early, medium, and late menopausal symptoms.

What are the early symptoms of menopause?

  • Hormonal changes
  • A sudden drop in estrogen levels
  • Trouble sleeping (Insomnia)
  • Emotional changes
  • Feeling tired, exhausted

As a consequence of hormonal changes an irregular menstrual cycle appears. The first changes are reflected in the menstrual cycle, which can manifest as frequent or infrequent cycles. Frequent cycles occur every 20 days, and rare cycles every 35 days. Cycles are followed by profuse or scanty bleeding, unequal duration, and intensity of bleeding. As a consequence of a sudden drop in estrogen levels 50-60% of women experience psychological problems (depression). About 30% of women experience hot flashes during this period. Vaginal dryness and vaginal infection also occur due to a drop in estrogen levels. Hot flashes occur more often at night, during sleep. They are followed by sweating and temperature drops, and sometimes there is a feeling of fever.

What are the mid-term symptoms of menopause?

Mid-term symptoms begin to appear five to ten years after menopause begins. These are mainly:

  • Urogenital atrophy
  • Skin, hair, and nails changes
  • Loss of libido
  • Cognitive impairments

Urogenital atrophy occurs as a result of hormone deficiency. Due to the thinning (atrophy) of the vaginal mucosa, dryness of the vagina and disturbance of the pH value of the vagina occurs. During this period of menopause, women are more prone to vaginal and urinary tract infections. Infections are accompanied by a feeling of dryness, itching, tingling, and burning. Painful sexual intercourse is also often present. Urinary problems are most often in the form of frequent, urgent as well as nocturnal urination with more frequent painful urinary tract infections. Also there are visible skin, hair, and nails changes.The skin loses elasticity and wrinkles appear. Nails and hair are dry and brittle. As a consequence of a long-term lack of estrogen and androgens occur occasional memory lapses, often related to reduced ability to concentrate.

What are the late symptoms of menopause?

Cardiovascular diseases Osteoporosis Osteoarthritis Sensory processing disorder As of late symptoms and consequences of menopause can occur cardiovascular diseases.”Silent” disease or osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture caused by a fall or no reason occurs. Osteoarthritisis the most common joint disease that also occurs during this period. Sensory processing disorderinclude cataract development, decreased vision, blurred vision, dry eyes, increased intraocular pressure, and hearing loss.

What are the possible treatment options that can be taken to ease the symptoms of menopause?

Every woman is different and reacts differently to the treatments. When you notice early symptoms of menopause, you should along with your gynecologist determine possible treatment options that can help you to prevent the consequences of menopause. What therapies are available to prevent and treat menopausal symptoms? Hormone therapy (replacement therapy) Preventive therapy with vaginal probiotics Vitamin and mineral therapy Physical activity and healthy eating Hormone or replacement therapy (estrogen replacement) is individual and should be prescribed by a gynecologist. There are several ways in which hormone therapy can be taken: orally in the form of a cream or patch, or by injections. This therapy can be taken periodically or continuously. Hormone therapy is recommended for women who suffer from cardiovascular diseases or have a positive family history of them. Women who have reduced physical activity and do not eat healthily also can take this therapy. Medical tests are mandatory before and after hormone therapy.

Vaginal probiotic in the prevention of vaginal dryness and vaginal infections

My Experience With FemmaBiotic: Yeast Infection During Pregnancy ../en/my-experience-with-femmabiotic-yeast-infection-during-pregnancy/ Fri, 06 Aug 2021 06:10:37 +0000 ../?p=1766

My Experience With FemmaBiotic: Yeast Infection During Pregnancy

Pregnant women are more prone to vaginal infections due to changes in hormonal levels. The most common vaginal infection during pregnancy is a yeast infection. Yeast infection is most often treated with antifungal medications, that destroy the fungi that cause the infection, but after a short time, the infection reappears. We are sharing the experience with FemmaBiotic of our patient Marija, who, in agreement with her gynecologist, started to drink it regularly after the appearance of yeast infection during pregnancy.

Marija, what is your experience with yeast infection in pregnancy?

I have never had vaginal infections in my life. I have always taken care of my health and intimate hygiene. I went to gynecological exams regularly and everything was always fine. I got a yeast infection for the first time during pregnancy. That was the first time I was concerned about my baby’s safety. I’ve never had a problem with a vaginal infection before and I just didn’t know what to do. The gynecologist explained to me that due to hormonal changes and changes in the pH of the vagina, as a result, candida – appeared.

What were your initial yeast infection symptoms?

First I noticed white cheesy discharge. Then I had painful urination, severe itching, and redness. I also felt pain in my joints and I was always tired. Despite how much I slept and exercised, I was still tired. These symptoms were my warning signs that I needed to see a gynecologist.

What measures have you taken to cure yeast infections?

I immediately went to the gynecologist. We did a swab test and confirmed the candida. The gynecologist told me that candida is, unfortunately, a common occurrence in pregnancy, but that it does not affect the growth and development of the baby, but that a long-term infection can cause premature birth, which is not very desirable. The doctor prescribed me antifungal medications. After the first therapy, the candida disappeared but returned after a certain period.

What is your experience with FemmaBiotic in a fight against yeast infection during pregnancy?

I read online about a pregnant woman who had been drinking FemmaBiotic to get rid of yeast infection and candida. Then I talked with my gynecologist and I decided to try. Including the therapy that my doctor recommended and a month of regular consumption of FemmaBiotic, one capsule per day – the infection disappeared. I could not believe it! The doctor recommended me to continue with drinking FemmaBiotic for at least 3 months more, and then repeat after a certain time to ensure that the infection did not reoccur. Regular consumption of FemmaBiotic keeps the vaginal flora healthy and prevents vaginal infections. FemmaBiotic helped me to get rid of candida. I still regularly take FemmaBiotic as a preventive measure in order to have a healthy pregnancy and easy labor and delivery.

How to have a healthy and carefree pregnancy with a vaginal probiotic FemmaBiotic?

Yeast infection is most often treated with antifungal medications, that destroy all harmful bacteria that cause the infection, but also those “good” bacteria that are normally present in the vaginal flora, which after a very short period of time again leads to the development of vaginal infection. After antifungal therapy, the use of FemmaBiotic is mandatory in order to replace the number of good bacteria (lactobacilli) and thus prevent the recurrence of vaginal infections. Find out how to have a healthy and carefree pregnancy here.

How to avoid a yeast infection in the last trimester of pregnancy?

Yeast infections can be very dangerous if they occur in the last trimester of pregnancy. During this period, they can be transmitted to the baby during delivery. The baby may get a yeast infection in the mouth or a diaper rash.

These infections are easily treated in babies, but the problem can occur when the infection spreads to the nipple during breastfeeding, and get inside. Sometimes it can be very difficult to cure an infection due to the constant transmission from mother to baby and vice versa. Because of that, it is important to drink FemmaBiotic in the last trimester and during breastfeeding in order to keep the vaginal flora healthy and prevent the occurrence of vaginal infections.

FemmaBiotic is specially formulated and adapted to pregnant women and women of all ages. It is safe to use during pregnancy, from the first day until delivery. FemmaBiotic is taken orally, which is a significant advantage if the pregnant woman bleeds or uses additional vaginal suppositories. In addition to regular visits to the gynecologist, healthy diet, consumption of FemmaBiotic, there are few other things you can do to ensure a healthy pregnancy: always wear cotton underwear; avoid tight synthetic clothing; change your underwear if you are sweating; avoid perfumed shower gels and soaps with a heavy odor. For intimate treatment, just use lukewarm water and sensitive gels that will not disrupt the vaginal flora’s balance.

The importance of vaginal probiotics for adolescents

Adolescent girls are often prone to the onset of vulvovaginitis, which is bacterial in nature and also the most common gynecological disease at this age. This is due to improper hygiene and anatomical proximity to urogenital organs and rectum. At prepubertal age, genital candidiasis occurs after antibiotic administration.

Vulvovaginitis in adolescent girls

Vulvovaginitis is considered to be one of the most common gynecological problems in adolescent girls. Vulvovaginitis or inflammation of the genitals is most commonly caused by vaginal infection. Vulvovaginitis can sometimes be the result of an allergic reaction to chemicals. Symptoms that indicate vulvovaginitis in girls include vaginal discharge, itching, redness and irritation. Vulvovaginitis in girls is most often caused by lack of hygiene (Inadequate wiping, synthetic underwear, baths, perfumed soaps, tight clothing), but can also occur as part of a bacterial vaginal infection.

What are the symptoms of vulvovaginitis?

Symptoms that indicate vulvovaginitis are redness, itching, tingling, the presence of whitish deposits (scars) on the vulva in young children, vaginal discharge, open wounds, difficult and painful urination.

Can a vaginal infection spread to other body parts?

Tingling when urinating or painful urination is the first sign that a vaginal infection has spread to the urinary tract. If you also have an extremely high temperature accompanied by shivering, the kidneys are probably also affected by the infection.

During the period when vulvovaginitis is detected until the time of treatment with the doctor, it is best to leave all preparations and creams so that the vaginal infection does not spread and worsen further. The doctor will prescribe therapy. The treatment of vulvovaginitis in girls prior to puberty is individual. Hygienic measures and protective creams should be used to treat vulvovaginitis that is not caused by a specific microorganism and tight clothing and other irritants should be avoided.

Vaginal infections

Vaginal infections are the most common gynecological diseases in women in their reproductive age. There is no woman who has not had a vaginal infection at least once in her lifetime. Every woman has to take care of herself and her health. Regular gynecological examinations, adequate personal hygiene and protection during sexual intercourse are required. Vaginal infections can often occur without any symptoms. If they are not treated in time, they can lead to serious complications.

Types of vaginal infections

Bacterial infection (bacterial vaginosis) is caused by an increased amount of pathogenic bacteria. Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that are normally present on a woman’s body both in the vagina and do not cause infection when the woman is healthy. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when a woman’s local immunity weakens due to increased amounts of pathogenic bacteria.

Fungal infection (genital candidiasis)is a vaginal and vulvar infection caused by Candida albicans. Candida normally lives inside the body. Sometimes Candida can multiply and cause infection if the environment inside the vagina changes in a way that stimulates its growth.

Viral infection (HPV, genital herpes) (HPV, genitalni herpes) s a sexually transmitted infection that may be caused by HPV, which most often leads to the appearance of condyloma (genital warts) and later in a woman’s life to the appearance of cervical cancer.

Parasitic infections (trichomoniasis) are also sexually transmitted infections. Inflammation of the vagina, cervix and / or bladder is caused by a parasite called trichomonas.

What are the symptoms of different vaginal infections?

The symptoms of vaginal infection vary. It’s not always easy to figure out
what kind of infection there is. Every woman must know how to recognize and respond to changes in vaginal discharges in time. It should also be preventive and prevent vaginal infection from occurring. Below you can learn more about the symptoms of vaginal infection. If you have these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately and have no sexual intercourse until you determine if you have a vaginal infection.

Bacterial infection (bacterial vaginosis)
If you have abundant off-white, gray or greenish vaginal discharge (fluid) that smells “fishy” you may have a bacterial infection. “Fishy” smell is the strongest after sex or during menstrual cycles. Rarely, with an itchy or a sore vagina.

Fungal infection (genital candidiasis)
The main symptom of this vaginal infection is swelling and redness of the vagina and vulva, which is followed by irritation, tenderness and tingling, and pain during sexual intercourse and urination in untreated long-term infections. The vagina and vulva are swollen and red, and there may be sores and cracks. Vaginal discharge is abundant, creamy and white (cottage cheese-like consistency or appearance, odorless).

The viral infection s accompanied by dark urine with an unpleasant odor, changes in the skin and mucous membranes of the genital region in the form of sores, warts or blisters, itching, redness or rash in the genital area, a feeling of milder or stronger burning when urinating, etc.

Parasitic infections (trichomoniasis)
The secretion is usually yellow to green in color. It is accompanied by an unpleasant odor, tingling and pain when urinating, bleeding and itching after sexual intercourse.

What are the main causes of vaginal infections?

One of the most common causes of vaginal infection is a vaginal flora imbalance. The imbalance in the vaginal flora is due to a reduction in the number of good bacteria (lactobacilli) in the vaginal flora. When the number of good bacteria in the vaginal flora decreases, the number of bad bacteria and fungi increases sharply, causing vaginal infection. Vaginal flora imbalance may occur for a number of reasons. Overuse of antibiotics, excessive hygiene, hormonal changes, use of personal hygiene products, use of condoms, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, synthetic underwear, daily use of pads, diabetes, etc. are the most common reasons leading to imbalances in the vaginal flora.

Different causes lead to different vaginal infections.

Bacterial infection
The causes of this vaginal infection may include overuse of antibiotics, inadequate hygiene, excessive hygiene, use of too strong soaps and perfume pads, unprotected sexual intercourse and hormonal imbalance. Bacterial infection occurs most often in women who have multiple sexual partners or have a new partner.

Fungal infection (genital candidiasis)
appears when immunity decreases due to stress, during pregnancy, after uncontrolled use of antibiotics, diabetes, frequent sexual intercourse, vaginal acidity disorders, synthetic underwear, swimming pool, tight clothing, nylon underwear etc.

Viral infection
Viruses that cause sexually transmitted diseases penetrate the body primarily through the mucous membranes: vagina, urethra, anus and oral cavity. Sexual contact is the main and most common, but not the only way to spread sexually transmitted infections.

Parasitic infections
It is sexually transmitted, but it is possible to get an infection in the pool, using a shared toilet, infected laundry, etc.

Can you get an infection from antibiotics?

The use of antibiotics destroys harmful bacteria that cause the infection, but also “good” bacteria that are normally present in the vaginal flora, which, after a very short period of time, leads to the re-emergence of the infection. Normal vaginal flora is of great importance for a woman’s complete health and provides natural protection against vaginal infections. Vaginal flora consists of “good” bacteria-lactobacilli, which prevent the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms and thus prevent the development of vaginal infections.

How are vaginal infections treated?

Antibiotics and antimycotics are recommended in the treatment of vaginal
infections. It is important that they destroy pathogens but do not affect the increase in lactobacilli in the vagina. Therefore, an infection may recur after some time. In order to prevent the recurrence of the infection, it is necessary to compensate for lactobacilli with a vaginal probiotic – FemmaBiotic. You should also live a healthy lifestyle, including a healthy diet, responsible sex, regular gynecological examinations and self-examination, and listening to your body.

What is a vaginal probiotic?

Vaginal probiotics are living microorganisms that, when used in an adequate amount, have beneficial effects on women’s health and are used to prevent the onset and recurrence of vaginal infections. Vaginal probiotics help to restore vaginal flora and improve local vaginal immunity. The use of probiotics has a positive effect on human health and enhances immunity. Thus, if the digestive system is healthy, the whole body will be healthy. Improving intestinal immunity raises systemic immunity and therefore the role of probiotics is very important for enhancing immunity, both locally and systemically.

Why FemmaBiotic is the best vaginal probiotic?

FemmaBiotic is specially formulated and adapted to women of all ages in our territories. FemmaBiotic restores the vagina flora, increases the number of lactobacilli, regulates the vagina PH and prevents the creation of vaginal and urinary infections. Taking FemmaBiotic immediately after antibiotic therapy is the ideal solution because it restores the vaginal flora and prevents re-infection.

Consequences of not treating vaginal infections

Untreated infections may lead to serious complications. Untreated vaginal infections may also lead to sterility. Untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, or ectopic pregnancy and to premature labour.
