酸碱值 (pH) 的重要性

Why is the pH of the intimate part important?

The intimate part environment contains many microorganisms/flora living in balance. Lactobacillus (friendly bacteria) is the main type of normal vaginal flora and plays an important role in female health. It produces hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid to keep the intimate part environment slightly acidic (with a normal pH of 3.8 to 4.5). Always remember that the intimate part area is an acidic area and normal body soaps/ creams are not suitable for this female genital.

A normal and healthy vaginal ecosystem is maintained by lacto-bacilli that secrete lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide resulting in a intimate part pH < 4.5 which protects against the overgrowth of anaerobes that thrive in an alkaline (high) pH.

Tips for Good Intimate Part Health

Your intimate part is self-cleaning. It’s designed to eliminate semen, blood, and other fluids through natural discharges. To keep your intimate part healthy:

• 更换您的内裤：如果您平时穿缎子、蕾丝、丝绸或涤纶内裤，请改用 100% 纯棉内裤。棉质透气，能很好地吸走身体的汗水和体液。 
• 上完厕所后从前往后擦拭，以降低感染细菌的风险。
• Practice good hygiene: Clean only the outside of your intimate part. Loofahs may cause small tears and expose the area to possible infection. Don’t scrub the folds harshly, and avoid getting soap inside your intimate part.
• Do not use perfumes or body sprays on or in your intimate part area. When selecting sanitary pads or feminine washes, choose the au naturel unscented ones. Scented intimate care products can upset your natural chemistry of the vulva area and lead to bigger problems.
• 如果您有性生活，请定期去看医生进行测试和检查，并且在您已婚后也定期进行子宫颈抹片检查。
• Use a intimate part pH regulator such as ENCORE Like V to help restore your intimate part’s natural pH.
• 如果这些有用的提示没有消除气味，请咨询您的医生。您可能需要处方来帮助治疗潜在的感染。
