What is Vaginal PH?
PH refers to the level of acidity in the vagina. Ideally, a vaginal PH should be somewhere between 3.5 - 4.5. If your PH is within this range, it indicates that you have the perfect amount of good bacteria in your vagina and no excessive growth of bad bacteria. Having too much bad bacteria can cause things like odor, irritation and even infection.
