Hello, I am writing to you for advice as I am worried. Two days ago I took Pharmatex vaginal tablets for the first time, after which I had sexual intercourse. After the second intake of the tablets, I felt discomfort in the genital area. I blushed and itched, and at the end of intercourse I felt a burning sensation, there is a slight odor, my friend also felt such a burning sensation. I'm worried that fungus will come out and pass it on to him. I do not have the opportunity at the moment to visit a gynecologist, if anyone has something like this, please advice

If you read the leaflet - it is about the active substance "benzalkonium chloride". If you had chloride chemistry you know what it is? This irritates the mucous membranes and probably protects against pregnancy, but note - REDUCES the likelihood of pregnancy, but does not eliminate it. I don't know how old you are, but this is not a reliable method of contraception and it is also normal for you to get such a miracle in your vagina to hurt you and it is no wonder that your friend also got sick. Tip - stop with this junk and use condoms. Rinse with boiled water and preferably with a decoction of yarrow or chamomile, do not have sex for 1 week at least and then only with a condom. Also buy Vagizan tablets with lactic acid bacteria. They are without a prescription and will restore your vaginal environment, but most of all do not put more benzalkonium chloride in your vagina! There are two methods of reliable contraception - condoms and hormonal methods such as birth control pills. This benzalkonium chloride is for married people, for example after childbirth, who want to delay the next pregnancy. Worry about pregnancy if the man is done with you, and the irritation will pass in time and call a gynecologist if it does not pass, but I do not know how this miracle occurred to you to use it, given that there are condoms.
