Product information
Our ELANEE lactic acid treatment is a medical vaginal gel without colorants and fragrances with a pH value of less than 4.0.
It serves to safely and effectively increase the acidity of the vaginal environment and helps to restore or maintain the natural vaginal pH value.
This supports the restoration of a balanced and healthy vaginal flora.
The product comes with 7 individually packaged disposable plastic applicators that can be used to apply the vaginal gel daily over a period of 7 days.
Pharmacy central number (PZN): 13748711
Areas of application
The pH value of a healthy vaginal area is 3.8 – 4.4.
By supporting the restoration of a balanced and healthy vaginal flora, complaints of bacterial vaginal infections, such as itching, burning, abnormal discharge or unpleasant odor, are prevented.
The use of our lactic acid treatment is suitable:
- If vaginal imbalance is known (vaginal pH value > 4.4)
- In the case of bacterial vaginosis
- For the prevention of recurring bacterial vaginal infections (vaginosis)
- To effectively increase the acidity of the vaginal environment in order to restore the natural vaginal pH value
- After antibiotic treatment, a vaginal infection or vaginal fungus treatment
Due to the low pH value (3.8 pH) of the lactic acid treatment and an increased sensitivity of the vagina, a slight to severe burning sensation may occur at the beginning of the treatment.
As the vaginal flora is restored, this should no longer occur.
The cure is intended for daily self-application over a period of 7 days.
The cure can be used during a pregnancy without any problems.
If the symptoms worsen or do not improve after 7 days, a visit to a doctor is recommended
Functionality
Lactic acid bacteria ensure healthy vaginal flora in the vagina and prevent the colonization and spread of harmful bacteria.
If the vaginal environment contains too few lactic acid bacteria, the vaginal pH value rises and bacteria can colonize more easily and spread more quickly.
Bacterial vaginal infections are accompanied by various symptoms such as itching, burning, dryness, increased discharge or an unpleasant odor.
Severe untreated infections can lead to inflammation and infertility.
In pregnant women, ascending infections can cause premature labor, rupture of the membranes or even premature birth.
The ELANEE lactic acid treatment has a pH value of less than 4.0 and allows the vaginal flora to normalize.
In addition, the body has time to produce its own lactic acid and regenerate itself in order to rebuild healthy vaginal flora.
Application:
1. ensure clean conditions (e.g. washing hands).
2. unscrew the gel tube and pierce the seal of the tube opening with the inverted cap.
3. take the applicator out of the foil packaging shortly before use and screw it onto the opened gel tube.
4. slowly squeeze the lactic acid gel out of the tube up to the stop of the screwed-on applicator (approx. 2.5 ml = 1/2 applicator filling).
ATTENTION!
Do not squeeze any gel past the plunger!
Carefully unscrew the half-full applicator from the tube.
5. position yourself on your back, preferably in the evening before going to bed, with your legs slightly raised and a towel under your pelvic floor area.
6. insert the filled applicator like a tampon approx. 2-3 cm into the vagina.
7. squeeze the gel completely out of the applicator into the vagina by slowly pressing the plunger.
If you have sensitive mucous membranes, the gel with its low pH value may temporarily cause a slight burning sensation.
8. dispose of the used applicator in the household waste and repeat the above steps with a new applicator on the following tabs.
Tip: After using the lactic acid gel, it is advisable to wear a panty liner/pad, as increased discharge may occur.
Figure 1:
Just before use, remove the applicator from the foil packaging and screw it onto the open gel tube.
Squeeze the lactic acid gel out of the tube as far as the stop on the unscrewed applicator.
Figure 2:
Insert the filled applicator like a tampon approx. 2-3 cm into the vagina.
Press the gel completely out of the applicator into the vagina by slowly pressing the plunger.
Then dispose of the used applicator.
Further information & tips
How long should the lactic acid treatment be used?
The lactic acid cure is a 7-day cure and should be used once a day over this period.
Why does the lactic acid treatment burn during the (first) application?
The lactic acid gel has a low pH value of approx. 3.8.
In the case of bacterial vaginosis, the vaginal pH value is usually elevated at the start of use (> 4.5 pH).
With increasing restoration of the vaginal flora, i.e. lowering of the pH value during application, the burning sensation should no longer occur.
How often can the lactic acid cure be used?
The lactic acid treatment can be used repeatedly if the vaginal flora is sensitive and prone to infections, e.g. monthly as a preventative measure after menstruation.
However, in the case of existing bacterial vaginosis, a doctor should be consulted if the symptoms do not improve after using the 7-day cure.
How do you use the lactic acid cure?
Use daily for 7 days.
To do this, screw the enclosed applicator onto the tube and press the lactic acid gel into the applicator as far as it will go (approx. 2.5 ml or ½ applicator filling).
The applicator is then unscrewed and the gel is applied vaginally.
The exact application steps can be found in the instructions for use.
Is the lactic acid cure suitable for vaginal fungus?
No.
Once the diagnosis of vaginal fungus has been established, an antifungal medication is usually prescribed by a doctor.
After the successful treatment of vaginal fungus, the lactic acid cure can help stabilize and maintain healthy vaginal flora and prevent vaginal infections.
Can the lactic acid cure be used during pregnancy?
Yes, the lactic acid cure can generally be used during pregnancy.
During a problem pregnancy or in case of doubt, a doctor should be consulted.
