Should I insert the vaginal tablet with my finger instead of the applicator?
Hey, I have a yeast infection in my vagina and was prescribed vaginal tablets yesterday. However, when I tried to insert the first one last night with the applicator, it hurt so much that I couldn't get it far enough inside, and half of the tablet was still sticking out of me after I pressed it down. I then pushed it further in with my finger, and that was a lot more comfortable, but I had to push it back in several times until it stopped sliding forward.
Should I insert the next tablet directly with my finger today, or should I try again with the applicator? Since that actually allows you to reach deeper into the vagina.
Then make your finger
In most specialist information of medications present as vaginal tablets, that “during pregnancy [the] treatment with […] vaginal tablets are carried out without an applicator [soll]”. In return, I would suspect that the treatment otherwise only with the help of an applicator to be applied. The treatment should be used, for example, in case of cadefungin vaginal tablets 3 during pregnancy only after medical consultation, i.e. only with medical “assistance”. Since no applicator is to be applied during pregnancy, I would suspect that treatment without an applicator should be carried out only after medical consultation. But I’m not quite sure and I’ve researched this mainly by the example of KadeFungin 3 vaginal tablets. In other products, the type of application may differ accordingly.
