Is it possible tor partners sperm throw off the ph of your vagina and cause problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Of course: The ph of the vagina is mildly acidic and semen is alkaline creating a "mild" acid base reaction in the vagina after ejaculation. However, mother nature provides "good bacteria" (doderlein;s bacilli) to "clean house" and restore the vaginal ph fairly rapidly. That is why there are very few vaginal problems after intercourse.
