VAGINAL pH
Vaginal infections are a common problem within women of all ages. Indicating an abnormal level of vaginal mucus acidity can help assess whether vaginal symptoms are caused by an infection that requires medical attention.
Under the influence of lactobacilli, the glycogen secreted by the upper vaginal epithelium is transformed into glucose and, subsequently, into lactic acid, thus forming an acidic microenvironment inside the vagina, with a pH value between 3.8 and 4.5. The acidity of the vaginal environment is an effective protection against infection, as the vast majority of pathogenic bacteria do not survive in these conditions. Some vaginal infections, known to be associated with abnormal vaginal acidity, require professional intervention.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
VAGINAL pH TEST is useful for anyone who wants to check for abnormal vaginal pH values, a symptom of one or more possible ongoing infections.
Vaginal infections in particular can be very risky for pregnant women, endangering both the mother and the fetus. For this reason the symptoms and results obtained with this test should always be discussed with a doctor.
