Canesten CanesBalance Single-Use Vaginal Gel, 10 Count

How Canesten CanesBalance Treats Bacterial Vaginosis

Understanding Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria. Normally, the vagina contains a balance of different types of bacteria. When this balance is disrupted, often due to factors like douching or changes in sexual partners, BV can develop. CanesBalance is designed to help restore the natural pH balance of the vagina, providing relief from symptoms such as unusual odor, discharge, and discomfort.

How CanesBalance Works

CanesBalance utilizes a unique triple-benefit formula to effectively address BV symptoms. It works by:

• Relieving unpleasant odor and abnormal vaginal discharge.
• Restoring the natural pH balance of the vagina.
• Supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria (lactobacilli).

The gel works to normalize the vaginal pH, which is often elevated in cases of BV. By reducing the pH, the environment becomes less favorable for the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and supports the restoration of the healthy vaginal flora. This also helps to alleviate the symptoms of BV and prevent recurrence. The inclusion of lactic acid helps to lower the vaginal pH, and glycogen provides nourishment for the lactobacilli.

Benefits of Using CanesBalance

CanesBalance offers several advantages for women experiencing symptoms of BV:

• Effective Relief: Quickly alleviates unpleasant odor and discharge.
• Restores Balance: Helps to maintain a healthy vaginal environment.
• Convenient Application: Comes in single-use applicators for ease of use.
• Clinically Proven: Formula is backed by clinical studies.

Compared to antibiotic treatments, CanesBalance offers a gentler approach with fewer potential side effects, while still effectively managing BV symptoms. Antibiotics can sometimes disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora, potentially leading to other infections. CanesBalance helps restore that balance. The convenience of single-use applicators also makes it easy to use, compared to requiring a prescription for antibiotics.

How to Use Canesten CanesBalance

Application Instructions

CanesBalance is designed for easy and discreet use. Each package contains single-use applicators. Follow these steps for optimal results:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
2. Insert the applicator gently into the vagina.
3. Squeeze the applicator to release the gel.
4. Remove the applicator and dispose of it properly.

For the best results, the treatment usually lasts for 7 days. Avoid using perfumed soaps or douches, as these can disrupt the vaginal flora.

Dosage and Duration

Use one applicator of CanesBalance vaginal gel once daily for seven days. If symptoms persist after seven days, consult a healthcare professional. It's important to complete the full course of treatment for the best results, even if your symptoms improve sooner. Stopping the treatment prematurely could lead to the recurrence of BV.
