A member asked:
With regards to ph balance and infection. does it mean that when you have a bv infection your ph is too acidic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong: Your vagina typically has a acidic/low ph environment. However, when the local bacterial enviroment is disrupted such that the normal bacteria are displaced with others, then the ph balance is disrupted causing it to rise and become more basic.
