The vagina is covered by a thick mucous membrane to protect it from foreign germs and fungi. In order for this to work properly, “good” bacteria are required , more precisely lactic acid bacteria .
Countless of these little helpers together form the vaginal flora . They ensure the vaginal balance and protect against foreign germs. When it comes to vaginal flora, one speaks of the natural microbial colonization of the
female vagina . These consist of a multitude of lactobacilli that produce lactic acid, which is essential for maintaining the acidic pH . This, in turn, is important so that no pathogens can lodge in the vagina.
If the balance of the vaginal flora is disturbed, bacterial vaginoses or vaginal mycoses (vaginal fungus) can occur.
To not let these bacterial vaginoses occur and get your pH balance on track and improve your vaginal health overall click below:
