Itching in the inguinal or anal area is just a symptom, which can be caused by various causes.

Suppositories from the itching of other pharmacological groups

In this case, the vaginal suppositories of Acylact, which include three strains of acidophilic lactobacilli, active against many pathogenic and opportunistic microbes , can help .
Lactobacillus, getting into the vagina, begins to process glycogen with the formation of lactic acid. This contributes to the restoration of a natural acidic environment, not conducive to the development of pathogens (glycogen for nutrition, they also lacks).
At the same time, Doderlein's wand, representatives of a healthy vaginal microflora, which support its normal parameters, begin to multiply actively. All this has a harmful effect on pathogenic microorganisms living in an alkaline environment.
Suppositories Acylact can be used during pregnancy and lactation, tk. Their active substance is lactobacilli.
Contraindicated suppository for vaginal candidiasis, as the acidic environment causes rapid growth of fungi. In this case, first remove the fungi, and then restore the microflora.
