For vaginal health and balance.
Product background
Respecta® Balance Gel is a medical device adjuvant in the treatment of vaginitis and vaginosis specifically studied for rebalancing the physiological pH and vaginal microbiota.
The vaginal environment is populated by numerous bacterial species (such as lactobacilli, gardnerella, streptococci, etc.) that in physiological conditions are in balance (eubiosis) with a clear prevalence of lactobacilli. However, this fine balance can be altered by several factors including antibiotic consumption, use of overly aggressive cleansers, irritative or allergic conditions. Consequently, potentially pathogenic microorganisms such as Candida and Gardnerella take over the Lactobacillus population, creating a state of dysbiosis up to causing pathological conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis, or vulva-vaginitis caused by Candida spp. (VVC). In particular, in the case of dysbiosis, vaginal pH often increases creating a vicious circle with a progressive reduction of the defenses of the vaginal mucosa.
Respecta® Balance Gel is suitable for restoring the physiological vaginal pH, favoring the proliferation and growth of beneficial microorganisms (lactobacilli) that normally colonize healthy tissue.
