Vaginal pH

Molecular classification
Physiological Parameter, Biomarker
01

Overview

Vaginal pH refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity within the vaginal environment, measured on a scale from 0 to 14. The normal vaginal pH is moderately acidic, typically ranging between 3.5 and 4.5 for women of reproductive age. This acidity is crucial for maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome and protecting against pathogens. It is not a direct therapeutic target, but rather a key physiological parameter. Factors such as hormonal fluctuations, antibiotic use, and hygiene practices can affect vaginal pH.
