A New Natural Yeast Infection and BV Treatment

We at the Gynecology Institute are constantly looking out for the next new and natural innovation to benefit our patients. We are proud to be the FIRST in Illinois to offer the groundbreaking natural yeast infection treatment, Vlisse by Coologics. This first in class device works naturally by cooling the vagina a few degrees to combat yeast and pesky BV.

How does it work?

Did you know that yeast is part of most women's normal microbiome? They exist in a dormant, bud phase. But when you get a yeast infection, they shift to the infectious and irritating, hyphae phase. Vlisse works by using a proprietary cooling mechanism that is comfortable and temperature controlled (no ice cubes don't work ;-) to reduce the temperature to a point where yeast cannot proliferate and go back to their dormant phase. We also know that the healthy bacteria, lactobacilus, (found in yogurt) like the cold, so they will proliferate, helping to combat BV bacteria and restoring a more normal pH. This is a natural way to treat yeast and BV, without resistance to antifungals or messy creams.

Why not take a pill?

Well, they're starting to lose their effectiveness. Creams are messy and they burn. See how Vlisse by Coologics works vs other known treatments:

How can I get one?

Make your appointment (either virtual or in person) to discuss in more detail. An in-person visit will get your lab testing done so you'll know exactly what's going on in your vagina! Our physicians and nurse practitioners are standing by with this great natural, drug-free option to treat yeast and BV.
