CBD Suppositories for Pelvic Pain Relief: A Natural Approach

For those with a cervix, pelvic pain can be a complex pain to soothe. Your cycle and hormone fluctuations can have an impact on your overall well-being, and symptoms. CBD Suppositories could be a holistic alternative to pain meds or OTC relief as they can treat the root cause —inflammation, muscle tension and spasms, localized pelvic pain, and emotional distress. We believe if you can tackle these, you may alleviate your pelvic pain and discomfort.

1. Inflammation: CBD is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties due to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and inflammatory processes in the body. Potential Conditions Affected:

   • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
     • Symptoms: Pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, fever.
     • Impact: Disruption of reproductive health, overall discomfort.
   • Cervicitis
     • Symptoms: Pain, unusual discharge, discomfort during intercourse.
     • Impact: Interference with daily activities, emotional distress.
   • Cervical Dysplasia
     • Symptoms: Asymptomatic or irregular bleeding.
     • Impact: Emotional distress, uncertainty about health.
   • Interstitial Cystitis
     • Symptoms: Chronic pelvic pain, urinary urgency and frequency.
     • Impact: Disruption of daily life, emotional strain.

2. Muscle Tension and Spasms: CBD may help alleviate muscle tension and spasms through its calming effects on the nervous system.

   • Symptoms: Pelvic discomfort, and pain during movement.
   • Impact: Impaired mobility, reduced quality of life.

3. Cervical Pelvic Pain: CBD influences neurotransmitter activity contributing to the modulation of a person's pain perception. Potential Conditions Affected:
   

   • Endometriosis
     • Symptoms: Pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during and after intercourse, infertility.
     • Impact: Chronic pain, emotional stress, potential fertility issues.
   • Adenomyosis
     • Symptoms: Heavy menstrual bleeding, severe cramps, pelvic pain, pressure.
     • Impact: Disruption of daily activities, potential fertility challenges.
   • Other Cervical Issues (e.g., cervical stenosis, infections)
     • Symptoms: Vary based on the specific condition.
     • Impact: Can range from discomfort to more severe complications.

4. PMS Syndrome: CBD could contribute to easing discomfort and mood fluctuations associated with premenstrual syndrome.

   • Symptoms: Mood swings, breast tenderness, bloating, pelvic pain.
   • Impact: Discomfort and emotional changes leading up to menstruation.

*As always, it is essential for individuals to consult with healthcare professionals to tailor the use of CBD suppositories to their specific condition and symptoms.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including pain perception, inflammation, and muscle function. CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid derived from the cannabis plant, interacts with the ECS receptors, potentially offering therapeutic effects without the mind-altering properties associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

We created Mello Flo Suppositories as they show promise for relief from pelvic pain. 

Fast Onset

CBD Suppositories are designed to be inserted rectally or vaginally, allowing the active compounds to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, offering faster onset and increased bioavailability compared to oral consumption.

Targeted to the Area

Their local insertion allows for direct delivery of the CBD to the affected pelvic area, allowing the compounds to interact with the cervix, addressing inflammation and muscle tension specific to this area.

Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Properties: CBD's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties may assist in alleviating inflammation, reducing muscle tension, and providing pain relief, making it a valuable component for managing pelvic pain.

Muscle Relaxation: CBD's muscle relaxant properties can potentially reduce tension and spasms in the pelvic floor muscles, providing relief for individuals experiencing muscular-related pelvic pain.

Pain Management: The analgesic properties of CBD can potentially offer pain relief for individuals dealing with chronic pelvic pain or discomfort.

Localized Relief: By using suppositories, CBD can be delivered directly to the pelvic area, providing a more targeted and localized effect compared to other forms of administration —potentially offering relief precisely where it is needed.

Natural and Minimal Side Effects: CBD's natural properties make it an attractive option for individuals seeking relief without the side effects often associated with traditional medications.

Mello Flo CBD Suppositories have been designed to relieve pain, inflammation, muscle spasms, and cramping. Tailored for vaginal or anal insertion, they ensure the direct and efficient delivery of CBD to the cervix and surrounding pelvic areas.

Mello Flo CBD Suppositories, offer individuals dealing with pelvic and lower body pain a unique and potentially effective solution. As with any holistic approach, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare professional to ensure the safety of integrating Mello Flo into your pain management strategy.

While research on CBD suppositories specifically targeting hormone function is limited, some studies suggest that CBD may influence the endocrine system, which plays a crucial role in hormone regulation. The endocannabinoid system (ECS), where CBD interacts, is intricately connected with various physiological processes, including hormonal balance.

Some studies suggest that CBD may help regulate stress hormones, such as cortisol, and may have an impact on certain reproductive hormones.

However, it's essential to note that more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms and potential benefits of CBD suppositories on hormone function. Individuals considering the use of CBD suppositories for hormonal issues should consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice based on their specific circumstances.

Users may start to experience effects within 5-10 minutes, with peak effects occurring within a few hours.

CBD suppositories offer a relatively fast onset compared to other forms of CBD administration. Since they are inserted directly into the rectum or vagina, the active compounds can bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream more rapidly.

Factors such as the severity of the pain and inflammation, individual metabolism, hydration etc, can all influence the onset and duration of effects. Some individuals may experience quick relief, and others may require more time for the full benefits to manifest. Consistent use and finding the right dosage are key factors in optimizing the effectiveness of CBD suppositories for pelvic pain or cervical inflammation.

While CBD suppositories are generally considered safe, please consult with a healthcare professional before combining them with over-the-counter (OTC) medications like Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Interactions between CBD and certain medications may occur, and the effects can vary based on individual factors.

Healthcare professionals can provide personalized advice based on an individual's health history, current medications, and the specific circumstances surrounding the use of CBD suppositories with OTC medications. This ensures a safe and effective approach to managing pain while minimizing the risk of adverse interactions.

Before using CBD suppositories alongside prescribed medications, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional. CBD can interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their metabolism and efficacy. CBD is metabolized by the liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are also involved in the metabolism of various medications.

Interactions between CBD and prescribed medications can lead to undesired effects, including changes in drug levels in the bloodstream. This is particularly important for medications with a narrow therapeutic window, where even small changes in dosage can have significant effects.

Healthcare professionals can provide personalized advice based on an individual's health history, current medications, and the specific circumstances surrounding the use of CBD suppositories. Open communication with your healthcare provider ensures a safe and informed approach, minimizing the risk of potential interactions and optimizing the overall effectiveness of your treatment plan.

Using CBD suppositories with menstrual cups or tampons poses no significant safety concerns. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Material Compatibility: Ensure that the material of the menstrual cup is compatible with Mello Flo Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Hemp Oil, Cocoa Butter, or Magnesium Oil. Most menstrual cups are made from medical-grade silicone, which is generally safe to use with these ingredients. But check your packaging for details. 

Timing and Comfort: Inserting a CBD suppository alongside a menstrual cup may require careful timing and positioning. We recommend inserting these into the bottom instead, it is equally as comfortable and can avoid any issues. 

The safety of using CBD suppositories with diaphragms or caps (cervical caps) is not well-studied, and caution is advised. 

Diaphragms and caps are forms of barrier contraception, and introducing substances, including CBD, into the vaginal area may potentially affect the efficacy of these contraceptive methods or interact with their materials. So we advise you to consult with healthcare professionals or your gynecologist. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health conditions, and the type of diaphragm or cap used.

Material Compatibility: Diaphragms and caps are typically made of latex, silicone, or other materials. Ensure that the materials of the diaphragm or cap are compatible with Mello Flo Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Hemp Oil, Cocoa Butter, or Magnesium Oil.

Timing and Application: Consider the timing of using CBD suppositories when inserting and removing the diaphragm or cap. It may be more comfortable to use the suppository at a different time to avoid potential interference. We always recommend inserting the CBD Suppository into the rectum instead, it is equally as comfortable and can avoid any issues.
