Why is pH balance important for vaginal health?Updated 4 months ago

Some parts of your body have an ideal pH range required for optimal health. The vagina has its own pH happy place, which is between 3.5 and 4.5, making it acidic. 

Why? Because the good types of vaginal bacteria (i.e. the types that promote health), such as Lactobacillus and Corynebacterium, thrive in an acidic environment, whereas yeast and bad bacteria (the kinds that make us sick), prefer a more alkaline setting.
