There are problems with this medicine. During pregnancy, there were problems and prescribed suppositories of Gexikon, in the beginning everything was fine, but then there were discharge of pink color, and after a few days of further administration, real bloody discharge appeared. I was canceled candles, bleeding stopped and the pregnancy was successful. Then there was another episode, when again this medication was prescribed, and pain and burning were added to bloody secretions, so the reception also had to be stopped.Maybe it was my reaction to the medicine, and maybe not, so no one installed, but I now do not use the hexicon.

Candles Hexicon helped to cope with bacterial vaginosis, put them in parallel with the reception of tablets. He helped quickly enough, plus a very tasty price and does not bite at all. Side effects special did not notice in the early days noted a slight burning sensation when you insert a candle, but quickly passed.

!!! I'm sure that in addition to preventive properties of this drug has also abortifacient properties, so that the girls during pregnancy certainly does not take chances! After a few taps on the use of candles, each time starts bleeding, nausea, and then the extraordinary monthly! There is a suspicion that it also contains hormonal abortive components, which are not indicated in the instructions. For the first time I tried it on the advice of an apothecary for the prevention of infection with a delay in menstruation. Here and so.

Hello! I am preparing to remove the polyp (DEK), a good smear, but there is a slight inflammation - they prescribed the candles, but did not have time to put it - the monthly ones came, and in the last days the removal was scheduled. The question is whether it is possible to put candles in the last days of the month, how this affects such a process. I can not in any way make this removal since last summer - I have a transition period to menopause and "track down" the cycle becomes difficult.
Administrators

Elena, Candles need to be put after monthly, in time - efficiency falls. If the removal is appointed immediately after the end, then it is better to contact the gynecologist, there may be a possibility to shift the operation (although I understand that sometimes it is difficult to do, but still) or the problem is not so serious that the operation is not contraindicated, even if you do not have time to heal .

Hello! Yesterday the doctor put a diagnosis to his daughter - vulvovaginitis. I assigned candles to Hexikon D. After I put a candle in her, she screamed for almost two hours. It shivered, even after I washed it several times.Today our doctor does not accept, tell me what can be done. To the girl - 7 years.

Good afternoon! I have cervical erosion and a small cyst in the same place. Assigned tests, but my young man and I are going on vacation the other day. Can these candles be used simply for prevention, because? To me the doctor has told or said, that at erosion the infection in an organism quickly gets? And if so, how many days can this drug be used? Thank you.

ValeriaIt is better to use barrier means of contraception, if there is a chance to get an infection. If this is not possible, then yes the Hexicon can to a certain extent (not 100%) help in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.How to use it, you can read the instructions above. The course of treatment (and prevention means too) can be 20 days, so these figures can be oriented.

Anastasia, Probably, it's time for you to see a doctor, because the reasons for bleeding in women can be a lot, and Hexicon is used to treat and prevent infections. And if the drug is appointed as a doctor, then you do not have to wait for that much - it is necessary to change the drug or its dosage regimen (use, if we take candles).

Hexico saved from a serious sore! Tore off the burr on the finger, caught "wild meat." They did not help either the liniment of synthomycin or the ichthyol ointment. A week was applied to the Geksikon gel on the finger and held in the evenings for 10-15 minutes a finger in a warm saturated solution of marine edible salt. All outgrowths of granulation withered and pains passed.

By appointment, the doctor began to take suppositories. (the first time I generally use this method of treatment). In the evening I took the first one, and in the morning I found out that I can not use the second, so the first one did not resolve. She put her off till evening. How in general in such cases to be?
Administrators
admin
JulianneProbably in your question we are talking about candles Hexicon D. The composition of this drug is an auxiliary agent polyethylene oxide - polymer, which dissolves in water, due to which and is used in candles as a basis. I think so, the candle could not dissolve, or if the technique of introduction is broken (shallowly introduced),or because of the dryness of the vagina - in this case, try the next time you moisten the surface of the candle in water.

I can not leave a response, because I have not tried to put these candles, but I'm just going to, but I have a question: after bathing in the river, I had unpleasant sensations (itching) in the region. sexual labiums, excretions like are not present, to the doctor the next 3 weeks too I can not get, records are not present. Sitting to wait 3 weeks without taking any measures I can not, the sensations are not from the pleasant .......... ((
Administrators

Elena :)), I think so, you decided everything for yourself. The causes of itching can be many - this is the reactivation of genital herpes, and infection, and manifestations of cold or other forms of allergy. Therefore, I think that it is incorrect to give such recommendations on one symptom. Excuse me.

Administrators

Alya, In pregnancy, it is better to use Hexicon D suppositories, or even better a solution for external use,as in the instructions for vaginal tablets there is no clear indication of the possibility of using this dosage form during pregnancy. In your position, I would not engage in self-treatment, but turned to the doctor.

After the kalkospopii, and the test result, I was raised a physician diagnosis of "cervical dysplasia 1 degree", the doctor has appointed vag. candles "Betadin", put a candle once a day - at night. After the third candle, premature (almost 2 weeks earlier) months began. Reception ceased. If menses began at least 3 -4 days earlier, I would have continued their use (as stated in the instructions - the ability to apply them at the month's), but there .... afraid, suddenly - it's a bad reaction to the iodine, and no one to ask ... New Year holidays, weekends ... (bad - there is no consultation with the doctor on the phone). On reception I shall get to the doctor only on January, 22nd - on delivery of a repeated smear before repeated kalkoskopiej. I would like to know, and Gaviscon (candles) can replace Betadin (candles)? Or should I repeat (or rather continue) the reception of those candles that the doctor appointed me.
Administrators
admin
GalinaContinue the treatment that the doctor advised you, that is, with Betadin suppositories. Hexicon has another composition, so without consulting a doctor to change the drug, you will not get along, given that your diagnosis I do not know. Early onset of menstruation could cause stress from colposcopy and research, as well as from awareness of the disease, or the early onset of bleeding may be caused by the disease itself - many reasons may be.

In any case, a single cycle failure is not a reason for the panic - it is necessary to wait for the next cycle, and if the failure then continues, then all seriously and have to run to the doctor, but if there is an opportunity to get to the reception earlier, it's generally wonderful, the doctor will doubt your doubts .

Accepted Azitral in the complex treatment of chlamydia. On the third day, the use of Geksonon in candles for the night began. Two days in a row sutra was a terrible diarrhea. The doctor advised to suspend the use of candles for the time of the antibiotic. Here I think, whether there can be a diarrhea from parallel reception of these preparations? Since the hexicon is not compatible with sodium lauryl sulfate, which is contained in Azitral. Azitral has such a side effect, but the hexicon does not.
Administrators
admin
Kara, Well, yes to the composition of Azitral is lauryl sulfate in micron quantities. Yes, the hexicon is incompatible with the local use of lauryl sulfate, which is part of shampoos and other detergents, and it is for this purpose that the warning is written in the instruction that hygiene is done using a standard soap rather than chemistry that can weaken the effect of using the hexicon.

Diarrhea, most likely, was standard for the use of the antibiotic Azitral. The hexicon here was a background drug that could not cause such a side reaction. Therefore, even the abolition of the hexicon probably did not lead to an improvement in the state of diarrhea, which is logical. It is better to take extra Lineks, Bifidum or other bifidus-lactobacteria or usual live kefir or yogurt.

I was prescribed vaginal pills hexicon, but the problem is that I can not find them anywhere, there are only candles everywhere. How would I be, can I put candles instead of pills? What is their difference?
Administrators
admin
KarinaIt is perfectly permissible to use vaginal suppositories of Gexikon D, instead of vaginal tablets. Only it is necessary to take into account that the dosage of active substance in tablets is twice as much as in candles: 16 mg in tablets and 8 mg in candles. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the reception scheme (the number and frequency of the formulation of this dosage form). Otherwise, there are no differences.

To me appoint or nominate any more first time candles geksikon and here last 2 appointments I feel an itch. And last time I was replaced with hexadecene for betadine, can I replace them now with erosion of the lobar?
Administrators

Nastya, Preparations Hexicon and Betadine are not analogues of the active substance, so such intergroup replacement should be agreed with the attending physician. In other respects, both drugs suppress the growth and reproduction of bacteria and are local antiseptics, so you can use it that way, but you need to go to the doctor.

gerda4225, It is better to consult a gynecologist. 8 candles of the hexicon that you managed to deliver - this is almost a completed course of treatment, and he, judging by the description, did not bring you recovery. Before prescribing other therapy regimens, I would pass all tests to both the flora and the STD (if not give up). Finger in the sky, you have already tried to be treated and nothing happened, it's time to be treated for science.

If it's uncritical, then we wait for the second cycle and look, if there are no monthly ones, then it's definitely a run to the doctor, then everything is serious.

Hello. I was assigned a hexon of candles, but they were not there so I took the pills. On the first day I noticed a drop of blood, on the second and third the same thing. I went to the doctor, I say so and so, to which the doctor said that if I'm not pregnant, this is a normal reaction and I need to continue treatment. Yesterday there were 7 tablets, and spotting increased, and they are not red, but pink.Tell me please, is this normal? Stop taking pills or not? And can I swim in the river? Remained before the end of the course 3 tablets.

In the river it is permissible to swim (only not immediately after the placement of vaginal tablets). It is not recommended only to use soap and detergents with other detergents (saponins, lauryl sulfate) for intimate hygiene.

At me a question, whether it is possible to replace a hexicon metromikton neo? I just had the package from the last treatment.
RomeAs a preparation before cauterization it is possible to use, but it is necessary to understand Hexicon and Neurometon Neo are different in composition and mechanism of action preparations, so I would contact a doctor who appointed you this course and will carry out the operation. Since you have already been treated by Metromycon before, you need to understand what happened, what became, how long ago other questions were treated. Online consultation is not covered.

Orlova, Pregnant with such symptoms on the geschikon candles uniquely apply again to the doctor who appointed this medicine. There can be many reasons for this - from banal improper insertion of candles (there are, scratching the mucous membrane and it starts to heal), to any kind of nonsense specifically for this medicine, which can provoke miscarriage and other negative consequences of pregnancy, so you need to watch live. Although the use of this drug in pregnancy is permissible and tolerated by the bulk of women well.
