Diet: A lot of time what a woman eats can affect her vaginal flora. Also exercise and overall health. If a woman has diabetes, that can affect vagina as well. Ideally the vagina has a ph of 3.6 - 4.5, the same acidity of a glass of wine. Lactobaccilli thrive in this environment these are the good bacteria that you want to have. Some women try probiotics to achieve this, either oral or vaginal tablet.
