Emätinpuikkoina

Emätinpuikkoina is a Finnish term that translates to "vaginal suppositories" in English. These are medicated formulations designed to be inserted into the vagina for localized treatment of various conditions. They typically consist of a solid base that melts, dissolves, or disperses upon contact with the body's temperature, releasing the active medication.

Vaginal suppositories are used to treat a range of gynecological issues. Common applications include antifungal treatments for yeast infections, antibacterial treatments for bacterial vaginosis, and hormonal therapies for conditions such as vaginal dryness associated with menopause. They can also be used for pain relief or to deliver contraceptives.

The base of a vaginal suppository is often made from ingredients like fatty acids, glycerin, or polyethylene glycol, chosen for their ability to melt at body temperature and release the medication effectively. The shape is usually designed for easy insertion. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by a healthcare professional or on the product packaging regarding insertion depth, frequency, and duration of use. They are generally considered a safe and effective method of delivering medication directly to the vaginal tissues, minimizing systemic absorption and potential side effects.
