The Vaginal Infection test determines the pH of vaginal swab specimens to aid in the diagnosis of common vaginal infections including bacterial vaginosis (BV). A healthy vagina has a slightly acidic pH level – between 3.8 to 4.5 – which maintains a balance between the good and bad bacteria present in the vagina. A change in this pH can be an indication that you may be suffering from BV. Alternatively, symptoms such as vaginal itching/burning or a thick, white discharge could be a sign of a thrush infection.
Risk of vaginal infection can be increased if you are sexually active, use vaginal hygiene products, are taking antibiotics or have a health condition that affects your immune system. Vaginal infections can be very risky for pregnant women and present a danger to both mother and fetus. You can reduce your chances of vaginal infection and alleviate the symptoms by doing the following:
Use only water and plain soap to wash your genital area.
Wear loose, cotton underwear.
Avoid vaginal deodorants, washes, or douches.
Have showers instead of baths.
