Cannabis and Sexual Health

WHY CANNABIS? 

Cannabis may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to alternative treatments but it’s the fastest growing for chronic pain ailments. We are fascinated by what we’re finding when it comes to sexual health. We know everyone has an endocannabinoid system in their body just like we all have a cardiovascular and skeletal system. Although the ECS has been implicated in the pathophysiology of endometriosis progression and related pain. This vital system has receptors which regulate physiological processes, one being CB1 normally abundant in the uterus, are reduced in patients with endometriosis, contributing to inflammation and pain. Utilizing THC and CBD, which activate these receptors, may help correct deficiencies in the underlying endocannabinoid tone. Suppositories provide a local effect that can reduce nociceptive, inflammatory and neurogenic pain while reducing unwanted systemic side effects. 



Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a painful condition in which uterine-like tissue grows outside of the uterus leading to severe pain and even infertility.

Adenomyosis

Studies have shown that 1 in 5 women may be suffering from Adenomyosis which results in heavy periods, pelvic pain, and painful sex.

Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea causes severe cramps and pain during your
period which can lead to reduced productivity.

PVD

PVD is pain in the tissues surrounding the vaginal opening leading to pain upon touching, intercourse or tight fitting clothing.

1

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry with a clean towel. If you are using vaginally, wash your vaginal area with a mild soap and water and dry thoroughly.

2

Remove the medication from the wrapper by gripping each tab and pulling back at the same time. Place it into the end of the applicator (for vaginal application, if needed).

3

Position your body so that you can comfortably access your vagina or rectum. Laying down or standing with one leg on a chair may help.

4

If needed, a few drops of water-based lubricant may be used to help make insertion easier.

5

Gently insert the suppository tapered-end first with a clean finger or with the applicator. For vaginal insertion, insert the applicator as far as it will comfortably go, then push the plunger until it stops. For anal insertion, insert the suppository about one (1) inch into the rectum. 

6

The suppository will dissolve within 10-15 minutes. It is recommended that you remain laying flat for at least 30 minutes so that the medicine can be absorbed. As it dissolves, some product can leak out. If this is a concern, a pad or liner can be worn. Wash hands when finished.

Helpful tips for effective suppository usage
  • Only use as directed by your healthcare professional.
  • Vaginal suppositories can leak, so they’re more convenient to use at bedtime. Wear a sanitary napkin to help protect your clothing and bed linens .
  • Use a water-based lubricant (on anus/vagina/suppository) or dip the suppository in cold water before using to help with insertion.
  • You can use a vaginal suppository during your period.
  • Don’t use tampons when using a vaginal suppository. Tampons can absorb some of the medication. This can prevent the suppository from working well.
