How should I use Geliofil Protect Vaginal Gel?
The recommended dosage is one tube per day for 7 consecutive days, ideally applied in the evening before bedtime to allow the gel to work overnight. This course helps to gradually restore the vaginal balance, particularly after irritation or pH disturbances.
If discomfort persists, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for a tailored treatment approach.
Why does Geliofil sometimes cause a burning sensation?
A temporary burning feeling after application may be caused by:
- Pre-existing irritation or inflammation of the vaginal mucosa (e.g. due to infection, dryness, or imbalance)
- The gel’s acidic pH, designed to restore natural vaginal acidity
- A possible sensitivity or intolerance to one of the ingredients
If the sensation persists or worsens, stop using the product and seek medical advice.
Is Geliofil safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes, Geliofil Protect can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as there are no specific contraindications. Its mild, pH-balancing formula is designed to be gentle on the intimate area.
That said, pregnancy is a sensitive time, and it’s always best to speak to your midwife or GP before starting any new treatment, even a local, non-prescription one.
How can Geliofil help during menopause?
During menopause, lower oestrogen levels can make the vaginal flora more vulnerable, leading to dryness, irritation, or pH imbalance. Geliofil can help by restoring the natural vaginal acidity, offering comfort and protection for menopausal skin.
It may be used as a supportive treatment for managing daily intimate discomfort.
Can Geliofil be used with Gynophilus?
Yes, Geliofil and Gynophilus are complementary, but they should not be used at the same time:
- Geliofil Protect helps to restore vaginal pH and reduce irritation.
- Gynophilus is a probiotic that supports a healthy vaginal flora by delivering beneficial lactobacilli.
Recommended routine:
- Start with a 7-day course of Geliofil
- Follow with Gynophilus to strengthen and maintain the vaginal microbiome
- Always check with your healthcare provider for personalised advice
