In some cases, women during pregnancy may experience unwanted and very specific diseases such as microflora disorders and candidiasis.

This danger lies in the fact that when the child is born, he will have to go through the inflamed paths affected by the infection. Therefore, in these cases, Polygynax is prescribed. It is taken for treatment:
- inflammation of the cervix;
- vaginal inflammation;
- pathologies that wereprovoked by parasitic and infectious pathogens.
"Polygynax" during pregnancy can be prescribed if mixed infectious diseases are diagnosed, provoked by sensitive microflora. Often these suppositories are taken by women with mixed vaginitis. This drug is also recommended for the development of bacterial non-specific and fungal vaginitis.
In addition, this drug is good to use as a preventive measure. It is used to stop the chance of recurrence of infectious and fungal complications before surgery and intrauterine examination. Also, these candles are prescribed to women before hysterography and other specific diagnostic measures.
This is confirmed by the instructions for "Polygynax". This is especially necessary during pregnancy.

What is the drug?
"Polygynax" is a complex drug that is produced in the form of candles. It contains substances such as nystatin, neomycin and polymyxin.

Against the background of the use of "Polygynax" during pregnancy, the mucous membrane, which was affected by inflammation, is restored.
A pregnant woman diagnosed with a fungal disease should use this remedy every day. You need to insert a candle into the vagina before going to bed. After the candle is introduced, it successfully dissolves inside. And then the substance is distributed throughout the vaginal mucosa.
These candles have different shapes. The most advanced form is available for Polygynax virgo candles. They look like long capsules that are easy to inject. Before using them, it is necessary to cut off the top of the capsule and insert a gel-like substance into the vagina. Ordinary candles look like round capsules that must be entered completely. Sometimes it can be a little difficult.

Many women are wondering if it is possible to use Polygynax during pregnancy? Experts are still looking for an answer to this question. The instructions indicate that this remedy is not prohibited during pregnancy. And when the second and third trimester of pregnancy comes, such suppositories can only be used as directed by a doctor. And the doctor prescribes this drug to women in the second or third trimester only when its benefits outweigh its perceived risks.
It is not recommended to use the product during the lactation period. But if, nevertheless, "Polygynax" is prescribed during breastfeeding, the child should be given artificial nutrition for the duration of the use of the drug. The use of suppositories often worries women in the second and third trimester, since the instruction states that this drug is not safe. It is a powerful antibiotic drug. And when a doctor prescribes Polygynax during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester, this means that the estimated risk will be low.
Features of use
Normally, these candles are prescribed to women not at the onset of the second and third trimester, but before childbirth. This applies to those women who are at risk of developing abnormal infections.
