Women's health problems
The health of every woman is an incredibly thin and fragile “matter”. Severe environmental deterioration, uncontrolled use of drugs (especially antibiotics), and widespread urbanization greatly harm the female body. In gynecology, such factors are considered to be among those that lead to the suppression of the normal microflora of the vagina. As a result, the protection of the genital organs is constantly under threat, and the risk of developing inflammatory diseases increases.
The appearance of foci of inflammation of the female genital organs is, in principle, promoted by any disease, including infectious diseases, as well as excessive hypothermia, various types of interventions carried out for surgical or diagnostic purposes, abortions, lack of personal hygiene, etc.
Symptoms of sexually transmitted infections are often mild, and women themselves do not go to doctors, which leads to serious consequences. The genital route of penetration is one of the most basic, leading to problems in the female genital area. Treatment of a disease, as you know, is not a very pleasant process, therefore, in their intimate life, women should always think about preventing them.
It's no secret that the use of antibiotics, which today are one of the main means of treating diseases in the genital area, and their uncontrolled use leads to the appearance of thrush, the treatment of which must also be started promptly and carried out competently.
To constantly maintain the health of the female genital area, it is quite possible to use a natural antiseptic - tea tree oil. This essential oil is widely used in gynecology for the external treatment of viral, fungal and bacterial gynecological diseases.
Women need to remember that the use of any, including natural, remedies for the treatment of diseases of the genital area should be carried out under the strict supervision of doctors in order to avoid unforeseen troubles.
In order to prevent, for example, vaginitis, a woman may well use tea tree oil for intimate hygiene, adding five drops of it to the soap foam used for washing. Similarly, you can use water for intimate rinsing, which is prepared as follows: tea tree essential oil (5 drops), half a teaspoon of soda are diluted in a glass of warm water.
Tea tree oil, used as an additive to intimate cosmetics, can prevent the sexual transmission of fungal, viral, and bacterial infections.
The unique properties of tea tree oil allow it to be used to destroy pathogenic flora of the vaginal mucosa and urinary tract. Thus, it is used not only as a means of treating vaginitis, but also to eliminate colpitis, candidomycosis, cystitis, urethritis, as well as to reduce leucorrhoea or vaginal hypersecretion.
Almost all women are familiar with such a disease as thrush. Today, thrush can be treated with just one single tablet, but the cause that causes it does not go away, and therefore relapses often occur. Tea tree oil for thrush has been used for a long time and is finding more and more followers, as it is a natural remedy.
In gynecology, it is recommended to treat thrush not only by washing the genitals, but also by using special tampons soaked in diluted tea tree oil (1:20 with sea buckthorn oil). Such tampons need to be changed daily and can also be used for other diseases that this essential oil helps with. For preventive purposes, a drop of natural antiseptic can be placed on panty liners.
Sitz baths with tea tree oil can help get rid of vaginitis. For such purposes, essential oil (a few drops) is added to a bowl of warm water. The procedure must be carried out for fifteen minutes three times a day.

Gynecologists also recommend treating thrush by douching with the addition of this natural antiseptic. To do this, you need a glass of warm water, 5 drops of the product and half a teaspoon of soda. The procedure is carried out before bedtime for a week. Douching should never be overused, since during this procedure, not only pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms are washed out of the vagina, but also beneficial ones that are needed to maintain a normal environment.
Pregnancy
Sea buckthorn oil is indicated for oral use for constipation, which often bothers pregnant women. The oil improves the functioning of the digestive system, helps strengthen the immune system, and participates in the preparation of the birth canal.
To prepare the body for the process of childbirth, the oil is prescribed in the eighth month of pregnancy. Oil dosage – 5 ml in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening. In addition, suppositories with sea buckthorn oil are prescribed to protect the birth canal from infection.
Are sea buckthorn suppositories prescribed to pregnant women?
Most medications used to treat gynecological diseases can harm the expectant mother or fetus. Therefore, sea buckthorn candles, safe for women and children, come to the rescue.
Vaginal tablets help pregnant patients with pathologies such as:
- colpitis (vaginitis);
- endometritis (inflammation of the uterus);
- erosive lesions and pseudo-erosion;
- endocervicitis;
- cervical dysplasia;
- ectropion (ectopia of the cervix).
Sea buckthorn suppositories will also have a therapeutic effect if a pregnant woman has inflammation or infection. They are also useful in cases of hemorrhoids, sphincteritis, paraproctitis, thrombosis of nodes, constipation or inflammation of the rectum.
Due to its safe composition, sea buckthorn suppositories are recommended for pregnant women. However, it is strictly forbidden to take suppositories with sea buckthorn for chronic diarrhea.
This question worries many pregnant women. Using tampons soaked in sea buckthorn oil during pregnancy is not only possible, but also necessary. It is a completely natural substance and does not contain preservatives, toxins and other substances that can harm a pregnant woman, and does not have an irritating effect.
Tampons are prescribed by a specialist to pregnant women as a drug to maintain the health of the expectant mother and prevent various diseases. Moreover, the sea buckthorn substance contained in the personal hygiene product will protect a woman not only from gynecological, but also from other diseases.
In some cases, gynecologists recommend using tampons a month before the expected birth, since the main component helps prepare the birth canal for delivery.
Erosion
Sea buckthorn suppositories in gynecology are an effective means for the gentle correction of cervical erosion. The disease itself is characterized by inflammatory processes in the cervix and on its surface. Erosion can occur at any age, but treatment methods depend on whether the patient plans to have children in the future.
Typically, erosion is treated with cauterization and anti-inflammatory drugs. When planning children, correction is not recommended. On the other hand, it is sea buckthorn oil that helps cope with erosion and prepare the cervix for pregnancy. Treatment is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- To wash the vagina and cervix, you need to douche with a warm chamomile decoction;
- Dry with a clean towel;
- Dip a tampon in sea buckthorn oil, insert and wear for eight hours. If you wear a tampon for too long, the supply of oxygen to the mucous membranes stops, which can lead to allergies and swelling;
- After removing the tampon, the usual hygiene procedures are carried out.
Treatment is carried out until the symptoms of erosion and the inflammatory process subside.
Contraindications for use
Despite the fact that sea buckthorn oil contains exclusively natural ingredients and has no side effects, there are contraindications that must be taken into account before starting to use this product.

How to use sea buckthorn oil in gynecology

Contraceptive tampons are becoming popular these days. Their use is associated with the inability to use other means of contraception. It is not recommended to use ordinary hygienic tampons for preparing medicinal products. Since their direct purpose is to absorb liquid.

For thrush (candidiasis)
For candidiasis, sea buckthorn oil is taken orally in its pure form - drink a teaspoon daily for 14 days. You can drink the oil with purified water, but it is important to follow a strict diet, excluding fatty, fried and spicy foods from your diet.
To eliminate itching and discomfort, tampons soaked in an oil mixture of sea buckthorn, sage, tea tree and thyme are inserted at night for two weeks (take the same amount of each oil and mix until smooth).
For inflammation
Three times a day, when the appendages are inflamed, a tampon heavily soaked in sea buckthorn oil is inserted into the vagina and left for 2 hours. The course lasts two weeks.

Result: Ointment based on sea buckthorn oil reduces inflammation and pain.
For cystitis
Chronic inflammation of the bladder is treated with sea buckthorn oil by infusing a sterile product into the organ cavity, but such procedures can only be carried out in hospital treatment. The injected product gently envelops the bladder, restores and protects tissue.
Sea buckthorn oil for cystitis is also taken orally - a tablespoon every day 25 minutes before meals.
Warm baths with sea buckthorn oil also help relieve inflammation and calm the bladder. Add 40 ml of oil to a bowl of water, mix well, and then immerse the lower part of the body in the container.
For genital herpes
Areas affected by herpes are lubricated with sea buckthorn oil, and then a disposable pad is secured, which protects the underwear from the sea buckthorn pigment.
The procedure is carried out regularly until complete recovery, and doctors strongly advise avoiding sexual intercourse during treatment.
The bactericidal effect of sea buckthorn oil also applies to other types of fungi - staphylococci, streptococci, trichomonas.
Cervicitis
The disease is usually treated using antimicrobial and antiseptic agents. After the course of treatment, bacterial preparations are also prescribed to restore the vaginal microflora.
Tampons with sea buckthorn oil can also be used for treatment. It is better to use traditional hygienic menstrual tampons with low absorbency. Gauze and cotton wool are not suitable for these purposes.
The tampon is dipped in slightly heated, warm oil. Then squeeze it lightly and insert it into the vagina for no more than five hours. The duration of treatment is 14 days.
Treatment of infection
This remedy can be used to correct infection. Treatment of diseases that are acquired sexually is usually done with a large number of antibiotics. Often, drugs must be administered intravenously or intramuscularly. To speed up recovery, you can use sea buckthorn oil.
Take a cotton ball and soak it in the oil liquid. To make the substance absorb more quickly, you can slightly warm the bowl by placing it in warm water. Next, the ball is placed into the vagina to a depth of no more than one centimeter. After this, you should take a horizontal position for 20-30 minutes. After this time, you need to remove the ball. You can repeat the manipulation up to five times a day. Do not forget about hygiene procedures, which are so necessary during the treatment of a bacterial infection of the genital tract.
Other infectious diseases
In all cases, reviews about the effect of sea buckthorn oil on infectious diseases are the most positive. Infections acquired through sexual contact are usually cleared up with long-term antibiotic therapy. To speed up recovery, wash and rub with sea buckthorn oil.
To do this, a cotton pad is dipped in oil, preheated in a water bath. You can use a homemade cotton ball instead of a disk. A cotton pad dipped in oil and slightly wrung out is placed shallowly in the vagina for half an hour. In this case, you need to be in a state of rest, taking a horizontal position.
It is not recommended to insert the disc deeper than one centimeter, since, unlike a tampon, it does not have a special rope for removal from the vagina. The course of treatment is repeated up to six times a day until the symptoms of the infectious lesion disappear.
It is also necessary to carry out hygiene procedures and antibacterial therapy of the genital tract in a timely manner.
Postpartum fissures
The process of childbirth is often accompanied by ruptures or episiotomy, which are sutured after the fetus is removed and the uterus is treated. But scars take a long time to heal, causing discomfort and accompanied by severe pain when sitting.
For faster healing, the seams are treated with sea buckthorn oil after each washing. If other disinfectants have been prescribed, you should consult a doctor before using the oil, and apply the prescribed medications first.
Herpes
The herpes virus can affect the genitals until cracks form. Immunostimulating therapy, traditionally used against herpes, copes with the virus, but does not promote healing of skin cracks.
After each hygiene procedure, you need to lubricate the cracks with oil applied to a cotton pad or swab. It is not recommended to use plain cotton wool for this, since the lint can remain deep in the crack and cause discomfort or fester.
After application, the oil does not need to be washed off, but please note that it can stain your underwear, so it is advisable to use panty liners.
Natural remedy for women's health
Traditional methods of treatment cause mistrust among some women. Moreover, the effect does not come as quickly as after professional medications.
- Levomekol should be used in gynecology for cervical erosion, inflammation of the appendages, and in the postoperative period for resorption of sutures. Apply 5 mm of the product to a cotton swab and gauze. Carefully place into the vagina. You need to use 1 tampon per day. The course of treatment is usually 10 days. Extendable as prescribed by a doctor.
- Dimexide is an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory drug. It has been used in gynecology since ancient times. It has repeatedly shown its effectiveness in the treatment of gynecological diseases. In addition, Dimexide is used as an analgesic. Dimexide can be used together with other drugs. Therapeutic tampons with Dimexide and Lidaza are prescribed for inflammation of the uterus or any infection. Before use, Dimexide is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:3 or 1:5, or in a Lidaza ampoule. The concentration of Dimexide is determined by the gynecologist. A tampon is prepared independently from cotton wool and a bandage. The medicine is placed in a syringe without a needle. Then spray it into a tampon. Place it in the vagina overnight. Must be used for at least 1 week. You cannot treat with Dimexide on your own, although it is available in pharmacies without a prescription. Efficiency is achieved due to the rapid penetration of Dimexide into the mucous membranes of the uterus, the skin of the genital organs, and tissues.
- Troxevasin is intended to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and normalize blood flow. In gynecology, it is used for chronic pain in the pelvic area, ovarian cysts, and in the postoperative period to restore the walls of the uterus. Women are often surprised when they are prescribed Troxevasin vaginally. A tampon is soaked in the gel and placed inside the vagina. Moreover, the instructions indicate “for external use.” There is no mistake in this. In gynecology, the drug is used as a basis for medicinal tampons.
- Mumiyo. At one time the drug was considered an alternative medicine with a dubious effect. Today, tampons with mumiyo are one of the most common products in gynecology. Often prescribed for chronic diseases. Treats inflammation of the uterus, cystitis, vaginitis, polyps. Treatment is carried out according to the following scheme: 2-3 weeks of use, 10 days break. The tampon is inserted overnight for 10 hours.
Therapeutic tampons are used by women when infection, bacteria, or harmful microorganisms enter the genitals. And also in inflammatory processes. The effectiveness of tampons directly depends on the degree of the disease. In some cases, it is enough to complete a course of treatment of 1 week, in others – 2 months.
Patients' opinions
Women speak only positively about the effects of sea buckthorn. It is non-toxic, does not produce side effects, and is gentle and effective. Sometimes it allows you to refuse medications that affect the functioning of the kidneys, stomach, and liver.
Reviews from doctors about the effect of sea buckthorn oil are also positive. Most often, suppositories with sea buckthorn oil are prescribed, since their use is quite simple and does not require additional machinations from the patient.
Before any method of use, you should consult a doctor, as some medications may be incompatible with the active ingredients of sea buckthorn.
