Vaginal pH refers to the acidity or alkalinity of a woman’s vagina. Normal women’s pH is less than or equal to 4.5, mostly between 3.8 and 4.4, as a result of the joint action of estrogen and Lactobacillus bacteria. Physiologically, estrogen in the female body can make the vaginal epithelium proliferation, thickening, vaginal lactobacillus bacteria can be converted to lactic acid in the vaginal monosaccharides, so as to maintain the normal acidic environment of the vagina, acidic environment can inhibit the growth of other bacteria in the growth and reproduction. If the pH of the vagina rises, it is easy for other bacteria to grow and multiply in it.
Normally, if women like vaginal douching or frequent sex, it is easy to make the vaginal pH rise, which is not conducive to the growth of lactobacilli, and easy to have vaginal inflammation.
First, if the vagina is acidic environment, you can use 5% sodium bicarbonate to give douching, which changes the acidic environment. The vast majority of continuous use of the drug for about half a month, so that the internal environment of the vagina will become alkaline. Especially when there is Candida albicans infection, often Candida albicans likes to grow in an acidic environment, so it is often given with an alkaline solvent to change the pH of the vagina, inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, and to achieve the corresponding auxiliary therapeutic purpose.
Secondly, if the vagina is alkaline, 1/5000 potassium permanganate can be used to give douching or sitz baths, which can also change the alkaline environment into an acidic environment. For example, when there is trichomonas infection in the clinic, it often presents an alkaline environment, so 1/5000 potassium permanganate is given to douche, which will change this phenomenon.
The only way to keep a woman’s body healthy is to test it frequently.
