Much like other parts of the body, a woman vaginal has a pH. A healthy vagina is slightly acidic, with a pH usually in the
range of 3.8 to 4.5. The acidity of the vagina helps control bacteria and prevents the infection-causing types of bacteria. When vaginal pH is not in the normal range, it may indicate an infection.
The vaginal infection test is based on a change of PH. After a sample is collected from the vagina using a swab, it is
placed on the test that changes its color with a change of PH. Since the infection occurs at a different pH, we can
determine if there is infection or not.
There usually are symptoms with an infection. The Kit is intended for use by women who have itching, burning,
unpleasant odor or unusual discharge.
How to read the pH level?
Under a bright light (not fluorescent) or daylight, compare the color of the pH paper on the test to the colors on the pH
guide. Slide the pH test back and forth until you find the color on the pH guide that looks like the pH test. This number
is your vaginal pH.
What does your result mean?
Normal vaginal pH is 3.8 to 4.5, slightly acidic. Abnormal vaginal pH may be higher or lower than normal vaginal pH.
High vaginal pH numbers indicate less acidity, while lower than normal vaginal pH levels indicate high acidity.
Abnormal vaginal pH frequently indicates the presence of a vaginal infection. However, you should know that not all
vaginal infections cause changes to vaginal pH. This means that having a normal vaginal pH test does not mean
that you do not have a vaginal infection.
