A member asked:
Will my ph balance be thrown off if i was abstinent for 9 months, then finally had intercourse? or are they not related at all?

Temporarily, yes: Your vaginal pH will change temporarily after semen is deposited in the vagina by rising slightly. If your "good" bacteria do their job + natural "housecleaning" post intercourse your vagina will restore its normal pH.
