Then it will be necessary to insure also with hormonal drugs under the supervision of a doctor. There is a way out - douching. What is it with contraception? Only the washing out of spermatozoa from the vagina, but not from the entire reproductive system. You can use weak solutions of lactic, acetic acid, potassium permanganate, but this is always a chemical injury to the mucous membranes. One can speak about the effectiveness of this method only when carrying out the procedure one or two minutes after ejaculation.
During intercourse, you can easily pick up various infectious diseases, upset the balancemicrobiocenosis of the vagina. Douching - what is it in such cases? This is a method for preventing infection, which can be used with Miramistin.

Often, women still have inflammation of the vulva, the walls of the vagina and the cervical part of the uterus.

Its infusion has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and sedative effects. Thus, in everything you need to keep to the measure and approach any advice wisely.
