What does a pH value of 4.8 in the white belt mean?

Leukorrhea, also known as a woman’s vaginal discharge, has a pH value of 4.8, suggesting a strongly acidic vaginal environment. The pH of a healthy vagina is weakly acidic, with a pH value between 5.5 and 7. An environment that is too acidic or too alkaline is a micro-ecological imbalance. The dominant bacilli will decrease accordingly and pathogenic bacteria will overgrow and vaginal inflammation will occur. A strongly acidic vaginal environment is prone to Candida vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis, so timely intervention is needed. If the vaginal discharge test results only suggest an acidic environment without specific bacterial infections, vaginal flora regulating gel can be used for 1 week. If there is a combination of typical bacterial infections, you need to treat with medications such as nifurtimox vaginal ointment and Kangen gel, which target the causative organisms. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided and the vaginal secretion microecology should be rechecked in time after 3 days of discontinuation.
