Patient's question:
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't.Doctor's answer:
Women of normal childbearing age have Lactobacillus as the dominant bacteria in the vagina, making the vaginal environment acidic (pH value of approximately 3.8-4.4), which inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, normal vaginal fluid has self-cleaning or sterilizing effects. Under normal circumstances, the female vagina is in an acidic environment.
