Vaginalno zdravlje

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 based on how acidic or alkaline something is – anything below 7 is acidic, while a number above 7 is alkaline (or basic). A healthy external vaginal area, or vulva, has an acidic pH. The acidic nature is important to your body’s natural defense and maintaining a good environment for a healthy external vaginal area. That’s why it’s so important to use products formulated to complement the natural pH range of your external vaginal area. 

We all have our unique scent. It's natural. But there are factors that can create external odors that you may find unpleasant. The vulva has sweat glands just like the armpit, and sweat bacteria leads to odor. Bodily fluids including menstrual blood, urine, and semen also create external odor. Noticeable odor may be a sign of a pH imbalance. Internal vaginal infections such as BV produce a strong odor which should be discussed with your doctor. If an odor is particularly strong or lasts for several days even with regular hygiene, speak with your doctor about it.
