Infections in the vagina including UTIs occur when external bacteria are introduced into the vagina. While Uresta itself does not directly cause infection, thoroughly washing your hands and the device before insertion is important. It’s also important to avoid placing Uresta on un-sanitized surfaces such as a bathroom counter or toilet seat before use.
If you are currently experiencing symptoms of an infection, we suggest waiting until those symptoms have fully subsided before retrying Uresta. If symptoms persist, we recommend consulting your physician to ensure you receive the appropriate care.
