More Information on Vaginal pH Imbalance

Vaginal pH fluctuation without infection can occur due to hormonal changes, menstrual cycles, or lifestyle factors. This change can lead to increased vaginal discharge or a different odor. While not typically indicative of an infection, maintaining awareness of vaginal health is important.

What are the most common symptoms?

Symptoms without an infection but altered vaginal pH value

Increased vaginal discharge
Unusual odor (not necessarily foul or "fishy" like with infections)
Mild itching or irritation
Discomfort or mild burning, especially during urination or sexual activity

These symptoms don't always indicate an infection like bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection. They may simply be a response to the pH imbalance.

What's in the package?

For ten treatments:

10 test strips
1 user manual

How do I take the test?

Prepare for the Test: Before starting, make sure your hands are clean. Though not mandatory, cleaning the intimate area can help ensure more accurate results.
Collect the Sample: Gently insert the pH test swab into your vagina, roughly two to three centimeters. Rotate the swab to ensure good contact with the vaginal walls.
Conduct the Test: After collecting the sample, immediately remove the swab and compare the color of the test area to the color chart included in your kit. This should be done promptly to avoid any color changes due to prolonged exposure to air.
Read the Results: Match the color on the swab to the closest color on the chart. This color indicates the pH level of your vaginal environment. A normal vaginal pH level typically ranges from 3.8 to 4.5.

How does the test technology work?

Colorimetric method

Chemical Indicators: The test strips contain chemical indicators that react to the hydrogen ion concentration in vaginal fluids. These indicators are pH-sensitive dyes.
Color Change Mechanism: When these indicators come into contact with vaginal discharge, they undergo a chemical reaction that causes the dye to change color. This color change is directly correlated with the pH level of the sample.
pH Scale: The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower numbers indicating acidity and higher numbers indicating alkalinity. The normal vaginal pH typically ranges from 3.8 to 4.5, which is slightly acidic.

Specificy: 99.0%
Specificity refers to a test's ability to correctly identify those who do not have a certain condition. In simpler terms, if a test is highly specific, it's great at ruling out people who are healthy and don't have the condition the test is checking for. This means a highly specific test has a low rate of false positives — it's unlikely to tell you that you have a condition when you actually don't.

Sensitivity / Accuracy: 99.0%
Accuracy, in the context of medical tests, is how well the test correctly identifies or excludes a condition. It's a broader term that encompasses both the test's ability to correctly detect people who have the condition (true positives) and correctly identify people who don't have it (true negatives). A highly accurate test provides results that very closely match the actual condition of the individuals being tested.

1. Let if flow.

Pregnancy tests are the best evidence: a bit of urine can tell you a lot about what's going on in your body. That's why all livity tests are urine-based, except for our pHabolous vaginal pH test. A few drops are enough for our tests.

2. Short meditation

Do a bit of TLC (time, love and care) for yourself while you are waiting 15 minutes for the development of test result.

3. Read it.
