Description
A balanced vaginal pH is crucial for maintaining a healthy vaginal environment and preventing infections. The majority of disease-causing bacteria cannot survive in the naturally acidic environment of the vagina. Normally, the vaginal pH ranges from 3.8 to 4.5. Unfortunately, vaginal infections are common and can be recurring issues for women of all ages. Identifying any imbalances in acidity levels in vaginal discharge is essential for early detection and treatment of infections.
An imbalance in the vaginal bacterial flora can lead to an increase in pH levels and cause bacterial vaginosis, also known as vaginal catarrh. This is an infection of the vagina that can result in a foul-smelling genital area and varying color and consistency of the discharge. Untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to complications and sometimes require medical care. The infection can also reduce the vagina’s protection against other infections, making it important to treat it as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
Our Vaginal pH Test is performed using a sampling stick inserted into the vagina to collect a sample. When the sampling stick comes into contact with the pH paper on the test panel, a color change occurs. Different pH levels result in different degrees and shades of color, with each specific pH level associated with a particular degree or shade on the color scale that comes with the test. This rapid test for vaginal pH is CE marked for home use and is also approved for in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
