What's pH got to do with it?

 

 

The pH scale measures the relative acidity of a certain substance.  Maintaining a standard pH allows organisms to function properly in a certain environment. A healthy vagina is slightly acidic with a pH of 4.5 or less. When your vagina stays at this level, that means there is a healthy balance of good bacteria and yeast living there—and bacteria and yeast are what keep your vag clean and healthy.

 

To help keep the pH level around 4.5, you should clean your vulva with warm water. You do not need to use soap—your vagina cleans itself, so it doesn’t need any outside help on that front.

My period is super heavy and luckily for me I'm also slightly anemic. Sometimes when Im on my period I feel week like I'm about to faint. I also get really bad migraines. My doctor gave me these pills that are supposed to make the migraines hurt less. She told me to take them 1-3 days before I'm supposed to have my period. My period is still really irregular though so I'm not sure if I should take a pill or not. I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow. And today I've been getting some cramps and a headache but I'm scared to take the pill cause I don't know what will happen if I take it and I don't get my Period. Help!

 

Hey swifty #1, I would take it just to be sure. She said between 1 and 3 days, so you should be okay. Call her and let her know your periods are irregular and unsure of what to do. She'll give you the best advice. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Sorry girl, your question was a little too inappropriate for this site. And I am sorry, but I have no idea.

Do you have to go to the doctor to check your pH balance?

My "down there" is sore. What does this mean and what should I do?

 

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

Our pH level is important.

I think our pH levels also affects how long sperm can live in our vagina. In health they said it was a tough environment for sperm to survive, which is probably a good thing for most of us until we get older.
