Dysbacteriosis is a fairly common phenomenon in which the quantity, composition and ratio of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria change. Such a disorder can be observed not only inside the intestines, but also in the respiratory tract, on the skin and in the vagina in women. Of course, dysbacteriosis of the intestines or vagina is most often diagnosed. How to properly restore the balance of microflora? All kinds of suppositories for dysbacteriosis can help with this, which we will discuss below.
The quality and ratio of bacterial flora in the body largely depends on our immunity and lifestyle. Useful bacteria necessary for humans have a protective function and neutralize pathogenic microbes that try to penetrate their territory - the intestines or the vaginal environment. If there are relatively few useful bacteria, they cannot perform their function. As a result, pathogenic and opportunistic microbes multiply rapidly, which in this case do not bring any benefit to the body.
Despite the fact that pathological changes in the number of bacteria have been studied for several decades, the issue of dysbacteriosis is still on the agenda in many research institutes.
With the development of dysbacteriosis, some beneficial bacteria may disappear altogether (for example, lactic acid bacillus, bifidobacteria). Instead, the cavity is populated by representatives of fungal flora, staphylococci, protozoa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. This leads to the development of local inflammatory reactions, which, with simultaneously reduced immunity, can provoke a generalization of the process up to septic complications.
Dysbacteriosis can become a trigger for diseases such as digestive disorders, inflammation of the respiratory and genitourinary tracts.
Indications for the use of suppositories for dysbacteriosis
Usually, stabilization of the disturbed microflora is carried out sequentially:
- Eliminate most of the pathogenic flora.
- They populate the cavity with necessary and high-quality bacteria.
- Increase the body's defenses.
Suppositories for dysbacteriosis can be used at the first and second stages of treatment. This form of the drug allows for a local targeted effect without simultaneously having a negative effect on other organs and systems.
As a rule, treatment with suppositories for dysbacteriosis is carried out for at least ten days. Suppositories with lactobacilli can be used much longer - this depends on the doctor's prescription.
The first stage of treatment – destruction of pathogenic bacteria – is achieved by prescribing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory suppositories, such as Salofalk or Terzhinan. The second stage involves the use of suppositories that populate the intestines or vagina with beneficial microflora. These may be Ginolact, Atsilakt, Bifidumbacterin, Laktonorm, etc.
The third stage is the appointment of multivitamin complexes, normalization of nutrition and lifestyle. All three stages in the complex allow you to defeat dysbacteriosis and forget about it for a long time.

The best effect is expected from the treatment if it is carried out simultaneously with the normalization of nutrition. It is recommended to reduce the amount of sugar consumed, as sweets significantly suppress immune processes. In addition, it is advisable to refuse yeast products, preservatives, alcohol and hot spices.
Sometimes a doctor may prescribe suppositories for dysbacteriosis for preventive purposes: such preventive courses of treatment are carried out 1-2 times a year.
