What does a high gynecological pH mean

High gynecological pH, also known as high pH in women who have a routine leuko test, indicates that the pH of the female vaginal environment is alkaline. Under normal circumstances, the vaginal environment should be acidic. If it appears alkaline, it means that the vaginal environment has changed, which may cause a decrease in vaginal resistance and lead to opportunistic bacterial infections causing vaginitis, such as trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginitis. If you have trichomoniasis, you need to wash your vagina and vulva with potassium permanganate diluted solution under the doctor’s guidance and treat with vaginal metronidazole suppositories and oral metronidazole tablets for one month. In the case of bacterial vaginitis, the vagina should be washed with a cleansing lotion and treated with vaginal metronidazole suppositories.
