Abstract |
The authors report the results achieved in a controlled clinical study carried out for evaluating the efficacy of some topical preparations in the treatment of the so-called non-specific cervicovaginitis. The best results have been observed in 55 patients treated with a 0.1% benzydamine solution, whose efficacy was found to be significantly greater than that of povidone-iodine vaginal suppositories or a 0.2% aluminium acetate solution that were used in an additional 45 patients suffering from non-specific vulvovaginitis and exocervicitis, according to a fully randomized experimental study protocol. The results obtained in the non-selected population of the present study confirm the usefulness of benzydamine vaginal douches in the therapy of non-specific inflammations involving the lower female genital apparatus.
