Canesten Canesbalance Bacterial Vaginosis Vaginal Gel - 7 x 5ml Applicators

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring bacteria in the vagina, leading to an elevated pH. Symptoms often include an unpleasant 'fishy' odor and unusual vaginal discharge.

Canesbalance works by restoring the natural pH balance in the vagina. By lowering the pH, it helps to create an environment where beneficial lactobacilli can thrive, thus normalizing the vaginal flora and alleviating BV symptoms.

You should use one applicator daily for 7 consecutive days. It is generally recommended to apply the gel at bedtime. Twist off the cap, insert the neck of the applicator gently into the vagina, and squeeze firmly to dispense the gel. Dispose of the applicator after single use.

Many users experience a noticeable improvement in symptoms, such as reduced odor and discharge, within a few days of starting treatment. However, it is crucial to complete the full 7-day course to ensure the pH balance is fully restored and to help prevent recurrence. Results may vary individually.

No, Canesbalance is specifically formulated and clinically proven to treat Bacterial Vaginosis by restoring pH balance. It is not intended for the treatment of other vaginal infections, such as yeast infections (thrush) or sexually transmitted infections. If you are unsure of your condition, consult a healthcare professional.

If your BV symptoms return shortly after completing the 7-day course, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend further steps or alternative treatments if necessary.

If symptoms do not improve or become worse after completing the recommended 7-day course, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Persistent symptoms may indicate a different condition or require further medical evaluation.

Ensure the applicator is inserted gently and correctly according to the instructions. If significant discomfort, irritation, or an allergic reaction occurs, stop using the product immediately and seek medical advice.

Make sure you are squeezing the applicator firmly and completely to ensure the entire 5ml dose is delivered. If the gel is cool, gently warming the applicator in your hands for a moment might help the gel flow more easily.
