The ph of my vagina is always off or atleast has a strong odor. is this normal and what can i do?

Depends: Vaginal ph is one indicator of a healthy vagina. Other indicators whether you have discharge, a foul smell or discomfort. I would see your doctor to get an exam as ph imbalance can occur with bacterial or yeast infection. These infections can be caused by a recent course of antibiotics and can be prevented by a healthy diet that includes probiotics found in kefir milk and yogurt.
