Increased leukocytes in the smear, as well as before childbirth - as the preparation of the generic paths (Sanation).

The effectiveness of the drug in the fight against sexual infections provides the main active ingredient in its composition - Bigluconata chlorhexidine.

During the entire duration of the child, the need to apply these candles may occur repeatedly. After all, the risk of exacerbation of infectious diseases (including sexually transmitted) is now particularly high. But this drug is ineffective in the treatment of infections caused by acid-resistant mushrooms, viruses and bacteria (type of candida), so hexicone does not apply during the thrush during pregnancy. Moreover, the thrush may appear after using these candles as a consequence of the destruction of the bacterial flora in the vagina, which is why the candids begin their activity - a strong burning and itching occurs, white curls appear.

Meanwhile, in practice, gynecologists and obstecra are often prescribed hexicon from the thrush. How so? - you ask.

This drug can be treated with multiple sex infections and collitis in women. But he found his wide popularity among obstetrician-gynecologists for another reason: hexicon during pregnancy is allowed in early time than the help of its analogues cannot "boast". The drug acts only local (that is, at the place of use), does not disturb the vaginal microflora, it is practically not absorbed into the bloodstream and, therefore, unable to flow to the fetus. That is, it is appointed without fears to be pregnant on any lapitage period: 1, 2, 3 trimesters of pregnancy are not contraindications.

Than replace hexicone candles during pregnancy

A spectrum of drugs that can be applied during the baby tooling is quite limited. For this reason, it is possible to choose a safe drug in one way or another experienced specialist.

If the treatment is carried out in the second or third trimester, then it is much easier to make it, because you have to choose from anything. In particular, instead of hexicon, Miramistin, Terezhin, Nystatin, Pimafucin and other drugs can be appointed.

Of particular care must be observed in the first trimester of pregnancy: there are no analogs of a hexicon, it is possible that treatment will have to stop.

But in any case, regardless of the length of wear and on the type of sex infection, discovered in a pregnant woman, only the doctor can and should appoint her treatment.
