What Is Vaginal pH?
pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of vaginal environment. A healthy vaginal pH is 3.8 to 4.5 which is slightly acidic. This environment supports good bacteria
(Lactobacillus) that prevent infections and protect against harmful pathogens
including HPV – which is the causative agent for cervical cancer.
What Causes Vaginal pH Imbalance?
Unprotected sex (semen is alkaline) Menstruation Antibiotics Douching or harsh feminine hygiene products Infections like Bacterial Vaginosis or Trichomoniasis
Hormonal shifts, including menopause HPV infection, which may elevate pH and promote abnormal cervical changes
Why Vaginal pH Matters
Many women experience discomfort like unusual discharge, itching or Odor and often wonder what’s happening. These symptoms are common but what’s less known is that vaginal pH imbalance could be the hidden culprit. This imbalance may lead to chronic infections and may even increase the risk of HPV infections, which are linked to cervical cancer.
How It Feels When You Don’t Know the Cause
If you’re a woman dealing with frequent infections or irritation, you’re not alone. Most women treat symptoms repeatedly without realizing that a slight change in vaginal pH can throw everything off balance. Even more concerning pH imbalance can mask or mimic early signs of HPV related changes, potentially delaying detection of cervical abnormalities.
How We Found the Right Approach
Working closely with gynecologists and lab technicians at Anamol Laboratories, we discovered that monitoring vaginal pH levels is a simple yet powerful tool for maintaining vaginal and cervical health. That’s why we introduced myVagi-Saheli Vaginal pH Test Strips, designed to help women detect pH imbalance before serious infections or complications arise.

Interpreting the Results
Tubes | Additives |
Below 4.5 | Normal vaginal pH – healthy balance |
4.5 – 5.0 | May indicate vaginal infections |
Above 5.0 | Possible Trichomoniasis, hormonal changes, or HPV-related cervical issues.
Immediate consultation with gynaecologist is required. |
Maintaining a healthy vaginal pH helps support immunity, reduce
infection risk and lowers the chances of HPV persistence that causes
cervical cancer.
