Two stages in a woman’s life – two solutions:
When a young woman starts to menstruate the hormone level of estrogen starts to rise in the female body and the pH level of the genitals starts to go down to a more acidic pH value of 3.8. This pH value is balancing the micro – flora to protect the vagina, especially during pregnancy. This protection lasts throughout the fertile years. During and after menopause the pH-level increases to 6.8 due to the reduction of estrogen levels.
Risk Factors in the intimate area include: – Dehydration
– External Irritants
– Harmful micro-organisms
– Allergic reactions.
