Bacteria live there: The vagina is host to a large number of bacteria normally and the vaginal pH(acidity/alkalinity scale) keeps the "good" bacteria comfortable at home and the "bad" bacteria from overwhelming the 'house" Frequent intercourse, douching, irritating fragrant soaps, & STD's all can alter the vaginal environment creating bacterial infections.
