Genitourinary system
FAQ
Our catalog includes both over-the-counter products for maintaining the health of the genitourinary system and prescription medications that require medical supervision. The status of each product is indicated on its product page. Be sure to check this before making a purchase: you will need a prescription from a doctor for prescription medications.
Symptoms of genitourinary system disorders (pain, burning, discomfort) can accompany everything from simple inflammation to sexually transmitted infections or chronic conditions. An inappropriate medication will not only fail to help but may also “mask” the clinical picture, making diagnosis more difficult. Therefore, consulting a urologist or gynecologist is critically important for choosing the correct treatment plan.
Preventive use of medications in this group is permitted only in cases determined by a doctor (for example, if you are prone to recurrent infections). Self-medicating for preventive purposes can lead to microorganisms developing resistance to the active ingredients, which will make future treatment significantly more difficult.
Treatment for diseases of this system requires completing the full course, even if symptoms disappear after just a few days. Untreated infections can quickly become chronic. Always follow the duration of the course prescribed by your doctor or specified in the official instructions.
If you notice increased pain, discharge, a fever, or any other unusual symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. This could be a sign of an individual intolerance or that the medication is not appropriate for the type of pathogen causing the infection.
When certain infectious and inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system are diagnosed, treatment of both partners is mandatory, even if one of them has no symptoms. This prevents “cross-infection” and promotes a speedy recovery. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor during your consultation.
