Why use Femigel?
Dryness, itching, irritation and discomfort in the vaginal area can occur through all stages of life. Although these conditions are very common during the menopause and pregnancy they can also be experienced with stress, use of antibiotics, wearing tight clothing, certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, or irritant reactions to soaps and creams.
Femigel® is ideal for combating vaginal thrush (candida vaginitis), a fungal infection caused by growth in the vagina of yeast-like fungus candida albican.
Thrush affects 75% of women at some point during their lifetime and around 45% of women will suffer from two or more recurring episodes.
