Two Products to Prevent and Maintain Healthy Vagina
Journal Title: Women's Health Science Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
A common problem that women face is to maintain healthy vagina. It is an extra-ordinary organ. While the normal pH of the body is 7.4, the pH of a healthy vagina is around 4.5. The acidic pH of the vagina in contrast to rest of the body is maintained by lactic acid secreted within vagina by the Probiotic Lactobacilli resident on the endometrium of the vagina. In case the Lactobacilli are diminished and/or are not making sufficient lactic acid, the pH of the vagina is increased and goes beyond 5, women get infected with a variety of aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms. In this condition, named as Vaginosis, women have abnormal vaginal discharge accompanied at times by putrid smell. Antibiotics are employed by clinicians to treat Vaginosis. Better products need to be developed to cope with vaginosis, as well as prevent sexually transmitted infections.
