Overview

If BV symptoms are leaving you feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious, Canesbalance BV Vaginal Pessaries offer a simple, discreet way to restore your natural balance. These easy-to-use pessaries work overnight to regulate vaginal pH, relieve unpleasant odour, and reduce discharge — helping you feel fresher and more confident within just a few days.

By supporting the growth of healthy bacteria, Canesbalance doesn’t just mask symptoms — it helps your body rebalance itself naturally. For many women, it’s a trusted, non-antibiotic option for tackling BV quickly and gently.

This product requires a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, and will only be supplied if clinically appropriate.


What is Canesbalance BV Vaginal Pessaries


Canesbalance BV Vaginal Pessaries are a non-prescription treatment designed to help restore the vagina’s natural balance. They work by normalising vaginal pH levels, which helps to relieve common bacterial vaginosis (BV) symptoms such as unusual discharge and a fishy odour. By supporting the growth of healthy bacteria, Canesbalance encourages the natural flora to recover and reduces the likelihood of future flare-ups. They are often recommended for mild to moderate BV, particularly in women who experience recurrent episodes.

Directions

  • Insert one pessary deep into the vagina at bedtime for 7 consecutive nights.
  • For prevention of recurrence, your prescriber may recommend a shorter or maintenance course.
  • Canesbalance is discreet and designed for overnight use.
  • It can be used during menstruation, but not during sexual intercourse.

Side Effects

Like all treatments, Canesbalance BV Vaginal Pessaries can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Mild vaginal irritation or stinging
  • Increased discharge as the pessary dissolves (this is normal)


Most people tolerate Canesbalance well, and side effects (if they do occur) are usually mild. If you are concerned about any symptoms, or they do not improve, speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or prescriber.

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your treatment for full details. If you experience severe or worrying symptoms, seek medical advice straight away. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

Do not use Canesbalance if you:

  • Are allergic to any of the ingredients (e.g., lactic acid, glycogen)
  • Have unexplained vaginal bleeding or sores
  • Are pregnant, unless advised by your doctor


Canesbalance does not treat STIs or thrush. If you have unusual or severe symptoms, consult a healthcare professional.
