Lower genital tract inflammatory diseases, caused by opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms (vulvovaginitis), occupy a leading place among gynecological diseases and are one of the most common reasons for women to consult an obstetrician-gynecologist. Vulvovaginitis is rarely caused by a single pathogen. In recent years, lower genital tract inflammatory diseases are characterized by the predominance of mixed infections, which, on the one hand, can lead to a more severe and prolonged course, frequent relapses, an ascending infection, and, on the other hand, can be asymptomatic, till the development of complications, and represent certain difficulties in the diagnosis and choice of therapy. Opportunistic pathogens and anaerobes-bacteroides play a major role in manifestations of mixed infections. Currently, in the treatment of mixed vulvovaginitis, preference is given to combined drugs that have an effect on a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. One of them is Metromicon-Neo, which features of action and our experience of its use along with the features of mixed vulvovaginitis are summarized in the article.
