Allocations after application of suppositories very often disturb women during the treatment of diseases or after the use of candles. It can bring unpleasant sensations or even disappear the very feeling that the disease is cured. Such discharges may be normal in the use of this treatment, but you should know when it is necessary to pay attention to such symptoms, as they may indicate the appearance of complications. Therefore, it is necessary to know the main symptoms and complications that can arise during the use of candles in order to prevent their occurrence in time.
Causes of the discharge after candle application
The use of suppositories in gynecological practice is very common, since this dosage form is most available in this case in terms of local treatment of pathologies. Use a suppository with a different mechanism of action and with different pathologies. The most common disease of female genital organs is fungal vaginitis or "thrush". This pathology, which is characterized by the multiplication of fungal flora of the vagina with the development of appropriate clinical manifestations. This occurs against the background of the fact that the number of lactobacilli of the vagina and Dodderlein sticks decreases, which normally in the vagina during the splitting of glucose form lactic acid and thus contribute to the maintenance of a weakly acidic environment of the vagina. This is one of the main local mechanisms for protecting the vagina, which is disrupted in women with candidiasis or fungal vaginitis. To treat this pathology, as the most common among diseases of female genital organs, candles are widely used. The names of suppositories for the treatment of this pathology can be completely different, but the active ingredient of all these suppositories are antifungal drugs - ketoconazole, fluconazole, nystatin, itroconazole, fungicide. They can also use combination drugs, which in one suppository have not only antifungal, but antibiotics, then their action is more complex. The main names of such suppositories are Antikandin, Moronal, Fungicidin, Nystatin, Polizhinaks, Stamyin, Fungistatin, Neotrizol, Vagikin. These suppositories have different composition and different methods of application and dosage, but due to their pronounced effective local action, they are very widely used even in pregnant women. Another indication for the use of suppositories is bacterial vaginosis. This is a non-infectious disease, which, according to the frequency of occurrence in women, ranks second after candidiasis. This pathology consists in the fact that the number of Doderylein sticks decreases, and the ratio of aerobic and anaerobic flora changes, which also changes the environment in the vagina to alkaline. This is accompanied by clinical symptoms of vaginal discharge and require the appointment of a local treatment in the form of candles. Therefore, the use of suppositories is very broad, which in turn is important in the occurrence of complications of therapy or their clinical manifestations.
One of the symptoms during treatment with vaginal suppositories is the appearance of unpleasant secretions immediately after each use of the suppository or after complex treatment. Beli can be of a different nature and depend on the cause. The most common cause of secretions after suppositories may be the features of the mechanism of action of the candle itself. The suppository besides the compound active substance has many other components, it is a powder, a glucose, which promote the best resorption of the suppository on the mucosa. At the same time, part of the active substance is absorbed, and the other part, together with additional substances, can be removed after each application of the suppository in the form of unpleasant leucorrhoea. A distinctive feature of such secretions is that they occur after each application of a candle.
Another reason for the appearance of secretions after the application of suppositories may be secondary infection with improper treatment. Then the whites have a characteristic appearance. Also, the cause of secretions after suppositories may be a response to this method of treatment.
It is necessary to properly use the suppository for the treatment and if any bleach occurs, it is necessary to find their cause in order to determine the normal phenomenon or pathological manifestations.

Symptoms of the discharge after candle application
Symptoms after treatment with suppositories may occur during treatment, immediately after treatment, or some time after the course of treatment. The appearance of such a symptom must be clearly differentiated from the pathological manifestations of the disease.
The first signs of this pathology are the appearance of excretions after each application of a candle. At the same time, whites are small in number and have a white color, without a smell and do not cause unpleasant sensations in the form of itching and burning. This is normal, because a small amount of additional substances that are contained in the suppository is released. This is considered a normal phenomenon, which does not require treatment and should not be worried because of this.
Symptoms of discharge after application of suppositories may occur at the end of the course of treatment or after its completion. In this case, you should pay attention to their color, nature and features. Because the local action of the candle in the presence of concomitant pathology in the uterus or on the cervix can cause such symptoms, which require correction of treatment or complete withdrawal of the drug. Such clinical symptoms are characterized by the appearance of bloody discharge or yellow or green leucorrhoea, which may indicate their inefficiency or re-infection. In addition to secretions, there are other symptoms in the form of unpleasant sensations, itching, burning in the vagina, impaired urination, rezi with urination. This shows that there is a serious problem that needs to be corrected in time, so a doctor should be consulted again so that he corrects the treatment or abolished it.
Clinical symptoms of leucorrhoea after suppositories may appear after treatment, they may be of a different nature and may indicate that the treatment was incomplete. After all, very often one treatment of a suppository is not enough, since complex treatment with the use of common drugs is necessary, as well as concomitant treatment of the intestine. Therefore, the use of suppositories can only be the initial stage of treatment, and then it is still necessary to restore normal flora to the vagina.
The different nature of the secretions indicates different types of pathology, which helps in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of pathology.
Bloody discharge after suppository occurs in the presence of concomitant pathology. If the vagina has a polyp, cyst or focal point of endometriosis, the use of suppositories can cause such leukemia. This occurs if, in addition to antibiotics and antibacterials, there is a small amount of hormonal components in the suppository, then the reaction very often occurs in the form of bloody leucorrhoea. This is due to the fact that under the influence of the active substance stimulation of the release of blood from the focus of endometriosis occurs. In this case, you should pay attention to this, because you can not continue the same treatment.
White discharge after suppositories is often normal, as a symptom of reaction to the candle itself. Therefore, if such leaks appear and they do not cause any unpleasant sensations, then one should not worry. If the discharge has a curdled character, then it is necessary to think about the ineffectiveness of treatment and to contact the doctor again for advice.
Brown discharge after suppositories may indicate an incomplete course of treatment or a re-infection. This may be a specific urogenital flora, so special attention should be given to such allocation. Brown leucorrhoea may also be bloody in composition, but they can change the shade under the influence of the candle itself, so it must also be taken into account.
Yellow or green discharge after suppositories may be due to re-infection after treatment or if the candles are misused. After all, candles should be placed at night or in the morning after all hygienic procedures, since a candle can be a conductor of infection and bacteria from the lower parts of the vagina can move higher. In this case, there is a re-infection, which requires the use of antibacterial agents. If the leucorrhoea has leucorrhoea after the use of candles, this may indicate incompleteness of treatment, since the antibiotic that is contained in the candle suppresses the number of beneficial lactic acid bacteria of the vagina and this promotes the activation of fungi. Therefore, it is necessary after the suppositories to prescribe drugs that are probiotics.
Orange discharge after application of suppositories is often on certain drugs, for example, when using "Viferon". This can also be a normal phenomenon, since these are the residues of the base or the active substance, so do not worry.
Beli of different nature and color after applying suppositories may be for every woman and it is necessary to determine when to be worried. Speaking in general, the bloody discharge and purulent with an unpleasant odor indicate the presence of some pathology and require a doctor's consultation. If the leucorrhoea is not abundant and corresponds to the color of the candle, it is most likely the remains of the stem and should not be worried.
Complications and consequences
The consequence of the appearance of secretions after the application of suppositories can be not only exacerbation of pathology, but also infectious inflammation, which has an ascending nature. In case of untimely contact with a doctor, inflammation of the appendages of the uterus - adnexitis, as well as inflammation of the renal pelvis and bladder can develop with the development of pyelonephritis and cystitis.
Complication of secretions can be a protracted process in the uterus with a slow regression of symptoms, so you need to carefully monitor these phenomena.
Diagnostics of the discharge after candle application
Diagnostic signs of discharge after application of suppositories mainly include complaints about the appearance of pathological beats. It is necessary to clarify the anamnestic data on the nature of the secretions, their quantity, color, and also the method of using suppositories for treatment.
When examining a woman in the mirror, you can see the cervix, possible concomitant diseases in the form of polyps, foci of endometriosis, which can be the cause of bleeding after the use of candles. You can also see leucorrhoea, determine their color and nature. Obligatory is the microbiological examination of the smear from the posterior vaginal vault. This smear makes it possible to determine the possible causative agent in case of re-infection, and also to determine the effectiveness of the treatment performed.
For more accurate diagnosis, special instrumental methods of investigation are carried out. Colposcopy is the diagnosis of the cervix by a special device that has a magnifying power of 2 to 32 times, depending on the power. This increase allows you to see any changes in the epithelial cover that are not detected during a routine examination in the mirrors. In addition to simple colposcopy, an expanded colposcopy is also performed. In this case, the site of the examined epithelium of the cervix is colored with trichloroacetic acid, iodine or Lugol solution, and look at the degree of coloration. Sites of altered epithelium will be pale against a normally colored epithelium. Such a diagnosis can confirm the presence of other concomitant conditions, such as metaplasia, polyp, endometriosis, cyst, which in turn can be the main or the only cause of discharge after candles.

Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of secretions after suppositories should be carried out according to the nature and color of these leukocytes, which can provide the basis for the assumptions of this or that pathology. It is also necessary to clearly differentiate the appearance of secretions after the use of suppositories, which are normal, from those that occur during infection, because untimely treatment of infectious pathology can cause complications. Beli in the infectious process have a yellow or green color, an unpleasant odor and can cause unpleasant sensations in the form of itching, burning and tingling. Normally, leucorrhea after suppositories, which are the result of isolating residues of the base of the drug, do not cause any sensations. If it comes to infection, there will also be an intoxication syndrome in the form of a rise in temperature and a change in the blood test.
Given these characteristics, it is necessary to clearly distinguish the main features of the clinical course of these different conditions in order to timely adjust the therapy and prevent the occurrence of complications.

Treatment of the discharge after candle application
Treatment of secretions after suppositories is mandatory only if it is accurately confirmed that these are pathological discharges. Then you need to urgently decide the way of treatment, which can be a medicamental or an alternative method. It is also necessary to decide the issue of changing therapy in case of confirmation of an infectious agent.

The regime with this disease is common, dietary recommendations are without special characteristics, healthy food is recommended. For the period of treatment it is necessary to keep from sexual activity.
As for medicines, for carrying out etiological treatment it is necessary to determine the type of pathogen and its sensitivity to different antibiotics. To do this, the smear from the vagina to the pathological flora is investigated with simultaneous detection of the sensitivity of the pathogen to antibacterial agents.
Drugs that are used in the case of secretions after the application of suppositories are directed mainly to reduce the inflammatory process and eliminate the focus of infection by eliminating the pathogen. Therefore, use anti-inflammatory drugs, antifungal and antibiotics. The best route of administration is local therapy, which provides a good effect along with general treatment.
When isolated white or yellow in the form of cheesy masses, it is most likely that it is a question of candidiasis or fungal infection. In this case, it is necessary to use antifungal agents, and most often use Nystatin, because it used to be the "gold standard" for treatment of candidiasis, but over time standards were revised in connection with the formation of resistance of fungi to this drug. To date, it is returned to him because the microorganisms have "forgotten" this drug a little and it has high efficiency.
