Where to put Hexicon candles
The suppository is inserted into the vagina as deeply as possible. To prevent the contents from leaking out, it is better to take a lying position and spread your legs at the knees. If the candle is not inserted deeply enough, then when the girl gets up, it may fall out without completely dissolving.
Suppositories work in exactly the same way as vaginal baths. Hexicon must be administered several times a day, as a result of which the amount of discharge increases. That is why during therapy it is worth wearing a new panty liner as often as possible.

Hexicon
Hexicon (INN chlorhexidine bigluconate) is a local antiseptic drug for use in gynecological practice from the Russian pharmaceutical company. Used to prevent genitourinary tract infections in women. Patients of this profile account for about 60% of all visits to the gynecologist. Inflammatory infections can lead to non-hormonal infertility, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages, and abnormalities in fetal development. Hexicon is an over-the-counter drug that is widely in demand today both as a means of prevention and as a tool for the effective treatment of sexually transmitted infections. The main pathogenic “residents” of the female genitourinary tract are Trichomonas, chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, and gonococci. Relief of infectious processes in the genital tract is complicated today by the increased aggressiveness of opportunistic microflora, the widespread phenomenon of drug resistance to antimicrobial drugs, the tendency to reduce the immune status in the general population, and untimely and incorrect diagnosis. The antimicrobial and antiseptic drug Hexicon is distinguished by its speed and breadth of therapeutic action, the scope of which includes bacteria such as Trihomonas vaginalis, Ureaplasma spp., Chlamidia spp., Treponema pallidum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Available in dosage forms for local use: vaginal tablets, suppositories, solutions. The advantage of local treatment of sexually transmitted infections is minimizing the risk of developing undesirable side reactions (the vast majority of which are systemic in nature), ease of use, the possibility of use by patients with extragenital (extragenital) pathology, primarily with a localized infectious-inflammatory process (for example, with acute vaginitis, cervicitis, vulvitis or chronic processes in the acute stage).
Hexicon can become a means of emergency prevention of sexually transmitted diseases immediately after unprotected sexual intercourse (but no later than two hours after it). Hexicon has been well studied in several clinical studies conducted in Russia. Thus, in one of them its effectiveness in the treatment of infectious vaginosis was reliably confirmed: 5-7 days of use was enough to normalize the vaginal microflora. The effect of Hexadecone on the microbial biotope of the vagina in women of childbearing age with bacterial vaginosis in the relapse stage was also studied. As a result, the antimicrobial activity of the drug against aerobic and anaerobic microflora and its good therapeutic effect in patients with bacterial vaginosis were established. Chlorhexidine does not affect the functional activity of lactic acid bacteria. The drug retains its antimicrobial activity in the presence of biological fluids (blood, pus). As already noted, Hexicon has only local side effects in the form of rare allergies to chlorhexidine. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not contraindications to the use of the drug. Hygienic procedures for the external genitalia do not affect the activity and tolerability of Hexicon, since the drug is used intravaginally. No cases of chlorhexidine overdose have been reported to date.
