Douching is one of the most popular methods of hygiene among women, and gynecologists sometimes recommend it as an auxiliary method for treating certain diseases (cervical erosion, thrush, cystitis, etc.). But at the same time syringing is not so harmless, as it may seem at first glance, and has a number of contraindications.
Let's find out whether it is possible to douche with erosion, and what exactly.
Douching with erosion of the cervix
Treatment of erosion must necessarily be controlled by a qualified doctor, a specialist in their field. If the erosion is large, it is removed by one of the modern methods ( cryodestruction , diathermocoagulation, laser, chemical or radio wave coagulation). If erosion is small, it is usually treated with less radical methods (tablets, suppositories). The douching procedure is an extremely gentle method for healing erosion, removing inflammation or recovering from cauterization. But in any case it will be more correct before syringing to consult on this account with your attending physician.
When eroded, syringing is often practiced with a decoction of chamomile. It should be prepared in this way:
- put in a pan 2 tablespoons of pharmacy chamomile and pour 1 liter of hot water;
- cover and put on a water bath for 15-20 minutes;
- The broth should be infused for 30-40 minutes and at the same time cool down.
How correctly to do syringing during erosion?
There are 3 ways of douching: every woman chooses the most comfortable for herself.
- Douching using Esmarch's mug is a difficult way to apply it at home. It is spent basically in a hospital.
- The procedure is performed in the supine position using a syringe. This is most convenient to do in the bath. Lay down on the bottom of the tub, and throw your legs on its edges. Lie so for a while, relax, and then insert the tip of the pear into the vagina and pour in the broth. Do this slowly, slowly, otherwise a strong stream of water can get into the cervical canal, and this should not be allowed.
- You can also do syringing, lying on the bed, putting a medical ship under him.
- Douching in the standing position is done like this: rise above the toilet, slightly tilting the body forward, and legs bend at the knees. Insert the tip of the syringe should be very careful not to damage the bladder.
Douching should be carried out as a course of treatment (no more than 2 weeks in a row), because this procedure is not physiological and can affect the natural microflora of the vagina. Also it is impossible to douche during pregnancy, especially at its early stages.
