    Why is this product suitable?

    EVA INTIMA® BIOLACT DOUCHE is a medical device designed for the effective and safe restoration of the normal acidity of the vagina, when it is disturbed by reasons such as:

    1. a) pathological conditions such as vaginal infections of bacterial or fungal etiology [vaginitis]
    2. b) taking some medications such as antibiotics
    3. c) normal conditions such as menstruation.

    Thanks to the supply of live lactic bacteria in the form of the seed, the viability of the probiotic strains and their successful implantation in the vaginal mucosa is ensured, with the aim of the immediate remodeling of the beneficial flora.

    Its composition is enriched with glycogen and lactic acid to ensure ideal conditions for the growth of lactic bacteria even under inflammatory conditions as well as with chamomile extract for immediate relief of itching, burning and irritation.

     Innovative form of probiotics 

    Symbiotic product 

    1x 109 Bacillus coagulans seeds per dose 

    Suitable for adult women

    How does it work;

    The seeds of the lactic bacteria Bacillus coagulans are inserted into the vagina. At this point they are stimulated by environmental conditions (lactic acid) & germinate taking their active form. They attach to the gaps in the vaginal mucosa and begin to consume the existing food (glycogen) and release lactic acid. At the same time, the proliferation begins and the vaginal balance is gradually reshaped. It does not contain medicinal substances, preservatives, synthetic colors and fragrances.

    How do I use it?

    THERAPEUTIC USE:

    1. A) Vaginitis treated with medication. One vaginal douche a day for 4-8 days after the end of the medication.
    2. B) Atypical vaginitis without medication. One vaginal douche a day for 6-8 days.

    PREVENTIVE USE: One vaginal douche per week, and one vaginal douche for two days after the end of menstruation (period).

    1) Tear the sachet containing the powder.

    2) Unscrew and remove the cap from the vial with the rinsing solution and add the contents of the sachet to the vial using the special funnel.

    3) Re-screw the cap and shake the vial vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes.

    4) Remove the projection from the cap of the vial and fit it into this vaginal nozzle.

    5) Once relaxed, the user simply place the nozzle into the vagina (approximately 7,5 cm) and performs the douche by squeezing the bottle slowly and steadily.

    NOTE:

    • Douching can take place either when you are sitting on the toilet or in the bathroom [sitting or standing].
    • If a significant amount of cleaning solution remains in the vial, remove the vial from the vagina and repeat the douching procedure with the remaining amount of cleaning solution.

     

    Important information:
    Store in a shady place at a temperature not exceeding 25°C, away from children.
    During the hot summer months, the product should be stored in the refrigerator.

    WE ARE HERE to answer you

    Each question corresponds to a need. That is why it is worth answering it.

    What is vaginitis?

    Vaginitis is characterized by inflammation of the vaginal mucosa, i.e. the lining that covers the inner surface of the vagina.

    What are the symptoms of vaginitis?

    The main symptoms of vaginitis, regardless of its etiology, are the presence of pruritus (itching), irritation, burning and excessive secretions of a different texture, smell and color from the normal ones. Pain during sexual intercourse and urination can often coexist.

    What are the most common causes of vaginitis?

    The most common causes of vaginitis are bacteria and fungi and can often be caused by a lack of estrogen or allergies (e.g. from the use of condoms or other intravaginal products). However, it is not uncommon for inflammation to occur but without finding a specific cause. These cases are characterized as non-specific vaginitis and are usually attributed to hormonal imbalance (common during pregnancy). 

    How do I know if I have bacterial vaginosis?

    Bacterial vaginitis is the most common vaginitis. Symptoms that usually predominate are pruritus (itching), irritation, burning and the appearance of excessive secretions of thin texture, strong odor (fishy) that may intensify after sexual intercourse or period, and has a gray color.

    However, special care is required as there are sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria such as vaginal trichomonas infection.

    In any case, the correct and safe diagnosis and treatment is performed only through the gynecologist after a series of diagnostic tests (colposcopy, vaginal discharge culture, etc.), a practice that is recommended to follow every time you notice changes in the wider area.

    How do I know if I have fungal vaginitis?

    Fungal vaginitis is the second most common vaginitis. It is not a sexually transmitted disease and cannot be transmitted as fungi are part of the normal flora of the vagina, where they remain normal in low populations. Common causes of their overgrowth that can lead to vaginitis are conditions that lead to a decrease in lactobacilli in the vagina and the predominance of other microorganisms in the area (e.g. after taking antibiotics for any reason, use of inappropriate and strong antiseptic vaginal solutions, etc.).

    Symptoms that are usually predominant are intense pruritus (itching), irritation, burning and the appearance of excessive secretions of viscous texture and white color characterized as leukorrhea, without the presence of a characteristic unpleasant odor.

    In any case, the correct and safe diagnosis and treatment is performed only through the gynecologist after a series of diagnostic tests (colposcopy, vaginal discharge culture, etc.), a practice that is recommended to follow every time you notice changes in the wider area.

    How can I relieve the symptoms of vaginitis?

    Depending on the symptoms that concern you there are product options that can relieve you. However, complete relief from the cause of inflammation can not be achieved without first diagnosing it and receiving appropriate treatment from your gynecologist.

    In case of non-specific etiology of vaginitis you can combine (figure for atypical vaginitis)

    How can I prevent the appearance of a vaginitis?

    The appearance of a vaginitis can be prevented if the normal flora of the area is maintained with the predominance of lactobacilli, the acidic environment of the vagina (pH 3,5-4,5) in the presence of lactic acid and the necessary moisture for the tissues. Securing these factors prevents the development of infections. In case their presence is disturbed, appropriate product options such as probiotics, vaginal pH regulators and hydrating products can help to restore and maintain them and prevent infections.

    Tips:

    • You can adopt the daily intake of probiotics by mouth through special supplements with lactobacilli to easily and naturally strengthen the flora of the vagina
    • You can use daily special cleansing fluids for the sensitive area with enhanced composition for protection against microorganisms.

    I often get vaginitis shortly after my period. Why is this happening to me? What can I do?

    The transition to reproductive age is marked by the periodic appearance of bleeding that lasts for a few days and usually occurs every 24 to 28 days. The presence of blood in the vaginal area -although normal- can lead to minor disorders in the vaginal environment affecting the vaginal pH and the presence of lactobacilli as the blood has a neutral pH. This effect, combined with the fact that blood is an excellent nutrient medium for fungi normally present in the vagina, often leads to the body's inability to control the overgrowth of fungi that eventually cause inflammation in the area.

    Enhancing the normal mechanism of removal of bleeding residues and the immediate restoration of vaginal pH to its normal acidic values can reduce the occurrence of vaginitis after the end of the period.

    Tips:

    • Prefer the use of a panty liner with a cotton cover which you change regularly in relation to the tampons
    • You can use daily special cleansing fluids for the sensitive area with enhanced composition for protection against microorganisms.
    • You can adopt the daily intake of probiotics by mouth through special supplements with lactobacilli to easily and naturally strengthen the flora of the vagina

    I often get a recurrence of vaginitis due to fungi. Why is this happening to me? What can I do?

    Fungi, although natural colonists of the vagina, very often lead to infections and there are specific reasons that reduce the likelihood of successful reduction and relief from the manifestations of vaginitis. As a result, the recurrence of symptoms of fungal vaginitis is often recorded very soon from the previous episode, which is characterized as a relapse. The main reasons are the development of resistance to the usual medications, the incomplete diagnosis, the self-diagnosis, the non-observance of the treatment regimens, etc.

    In any case, the correct and safe diagnosis and treatment is carried out only through the gynecologist after a series of diagnostic tests (colposcopy, vaginal fluid culture, identification of responsible strains, selection of effective active each time, etc.), a practice that is recommended to follow whenever you notice changes in the wider area.

    Scrupulous adherence to treatment regimens and the adoption of tactics that directly enhance the local balance and defense of the area are the means to successfully reduce relapses.

    Tips:

    • choose cotton underwear and limit the use of tight synthetic underwear
    • avoid the daily use of panty liners
    • change your swimsuit immediately and do not sit directly on the sand of the sea
    • generally avoid tight clothing and anything that can significantly increase the humidity and temperature of the area
    • use daily special cleansing fluids for the sensitive area with enhanced composition for protection against fungi.

    What are probiotics?

    Probiotics are living microorganisms that do not cause disease in the human body and contribute in many ways to ensuring its health, e.g. inhibiting the growth of other pathogenic microorganisms, contributing to digestion in food, etc.

    Why are they considered necessary especially in cases of vaginal or other infections?

    Normally, in most cavities of the human body as well as in the skin, there is a flora, i.e. microorganisms that over the years have managed to coexist harmoniously with humans and develop a mutually reciprocal relationship with them (microorganisms find suitable soil to survive and at the same time strengthen the first line of defense of the human body). In case there is a disturbance of the normal flora e.g. from taking antibiotics then it is easy to give pathogenic microorganisms the opportunity to grow and cause infections. The most immediate restoration of the normal flora with the use of probiotic preparations contributes to the effective reduction of pathogenic microorganisms and to the inhibition of the growth of new ones.

    Why should I prefer specially designed probiotics for the vaginal flora?

    The normal flora that can colonize different cavities of the body varies significantly from point to point, depending on the age of the person, his eating habits, his lifestyle, etc. For the vaginal cavity the microorganisms that have prevailed over the years and Lactobacilli contribute significantly to maintaining the balance of the area. This type of bacteria needs to dominate every time, especially during the reproductive age of the woman, in order to maintain the acidic environment in the area. If the lactobacilli population is disturbed, the possibility of pathological conditions increases. The probiotic preparations that work effectively to revive and restore the vaginal flora are those that contain a large amount of lactobacilli - the type of bacteria that normally prevail in the vagina and form the desired acidic environment and pH of vaginal fluid.

    Why should I prefer probiotic strains in the form of seed?

    There are bacterial strains used as probiotics which by their nature have the ability to take two forms depending on the prevailing conditions:

    -the seed form, a resistant form that preserves the micro-organism when environmental conditions endanger its viability,

    -the germinal form, which enables the microorganism to grow and multiply when conditions are favorable.

    The choice of probiotic preparations offered by their bacterial strains in the form of a seed ensures that the microorganism reaches the desired target tissue alive despite all the processing it has undergone during the production, packaging, storage and transport stages. This achieves the maximum efficiency of their use.

    Why are there small color differences between the vaginal suppositories of eva intima biolact ovules?

    As an eva intima biolact ovules contains populations of live lactobacilli in the seed form, there may be slight changes in the color of the suppository (from whitish to light gray-beige), which is considered normal as it depends on the culture materials used each time for the growth of these bacteria.

    How often can I apply probiotics to the vaginal area?

    Applying vaginal suppositories is beneficial as often as you choose to do it without any restriction on the frequency of use. However, when it comes to restoring the flora after infections, it takes at least 8 days for a strong and complete lactobacillus population to re-form in the area.

    Why is it important to get significant amounts of lactic acid in the vagina at any age?

    Lactic acid is the factor that shapes the acidic environment in the vagina.

    During reproductive age it is released by the lactic acid bacteria of the normal vaginal flora after the metabolism of the glycogen they use as food. The acidic vaginal environment is pleasant and enhances the action of lactobacilli while at the same time limiting the growth of other pathogenic microorganisms.

    However, beyond the reproductive age, such as during menopause, maintaining acidic conditions in the vagina can be a means of preventing infections. At this stage of a woman's life, vaginal pH regulators that provide ready-made lactic acid and directly form the required acidity in the vagina can help immediately.

    The area of my vagina presents an intense itching, irritation and a burning sensation. What may it be?

    Pruritus (itching), irritation and burning sensation are clinical manifestations that can be observed in conditions of different etiology in the vaginal area. They are usually observed in cases of infection of various etiologies that coexist there with increased vaginal secretions with or without odor. The presence of these symptoms without the presence of hypersecretion may be due to the occurrence of vaginal dryness.

    In any case, the correct and safe diagnosis and treatment is performed only through the gynecologist after a series of diagnostic tests (colposcopy, vaginal discharge culture, etc.), a practice that is recommended to follow every time you notice changes in the wider area.
