A 79-year-old, non-smoker patient with arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia visited the institute for pessary replacement. The patient had a history of pregnancy once, no abortion and a child. Vulvar examination showed external atrophic genitalia. The colposcopy image showed an ulcer on the right side with active bleeding of about 2 cm in the patient´s vagina, due to the pessary usage.
A non/hormonal Centella Asiatica/based vaginal gel (Palomacare) is used as treatment for the ulcer applied every 12 hours for a duration of 3 weeks. After 3 weeks of using Palomacare, the lesion was cured (ulcer and erosion disappeared) and then stopped the bleeding. The pessary was placed again inside the patient´s vagina without any incidence. Using Palomacare for the duration of 3 weeks showed a promising wound healing reepithelization result for the lesion caused by using pessary.
