What is the normal pH value of vaginal discharge?

In our daily life, for female friends with abnormal leucorrhea, it is very necessary to undergo regular physical examination of secretions. However, many of my friends do not know how to check the results of routine leucorrhea examinations, which leads to some female friends blindly taking medicines and making the condition worse. Female friends should discover and treat early, which will be of great help in treating the disease.

In daily life, I believe many female friends have heard about the routine physical examination of female secretions. It is a basic test to detect the physical condition of women with secretions. But how much does it cost to routinely check the pH value of women's leucorrhea? Very few women know this question. Below we will briefly introduce the normal indicators of various tests in the routine examination of leucorrhea.

1. Vaginal pH: pH indicates pH value. The normal pH value is 4-5. The pH value of female secretions and trichomonas or bacterial vaginitis can exceed 5~6. After puberty, due to the stimulation of uterine and ovarian estrogen, the bacteria in the vagina are dissolved and turned into lactic acid bacteria, making female secretions acidic, which can prevent bacteria from multiplying in the female vagina. It is the self-cleaning of the vagina. pH value is generally used to indicate pH in detection. The normal pH value is 4.5. When used intravaginally or when bacterial vaginitis occurs, the pH value of female secretions increases and can exceed 5-6.

2. Leucorrhea cleanliness: It can be divided into 4 levels, I~II levels are normal, III~IV levels are abnormal secretions, indicating Trichomonas vaginitis. The cleanliness of leucorrhea can generally be divided into 4 levels: Grade I: Under the microscope, many leucorrhea squamous epithelial cells and many leucorrhea streptococci can be seen. Grade II: There are squamous cells, a small white blood cell count, some YD streptococci, and some bacteria or pus balls. Ia Bachelor's degree: There are a small amount of YD Streptococcus under the microscope, and there are many pus balls and bacterial growth. Grade IV: Except for a small amount of squamous epithelial cells, mainly pus balls and bacteria, no YD streptococci can be seen under the microscope. If degrees i~ii are normal and degrees iii~iv have abnormal secretions, it means that the vagina is inflamed. Female friends should strengthen the cleaning of the body, maintain their daily living habits, and not let bacteria affect their health.

3. Fungus and trichomoniasis: If infected with trichomoniasis or fungus, it will be indicated by " ", but it does not indicate the severity of the infection. After treatment, the secretions can be found under a microscope based on their appearance. Whether there is trichomoniasis or fungus, no matter how much, it is indicated by " ". The mark " " only indicates that the woman is infected. Trichomonas or fungus does not indicate the severity of the infection.

4. Amine test: detect bacterial infection of vaginal diseases. The female secretions of women with vaginal bacterial infection will cause a fishy odor, which is caused by the acidity and alkalinity of the amines in the secretions after deashing with ferric chloride solution.

5. Gardnerella: Based on the positive results of amine test and Gardnerella, bacterial infection of vaginal disease can be confirmed. Gardnerella refers to a patient infected with a large number of streptococci coagulated on the edge of the squamous epithelial cells of the vagina. In suspension acid-fast staining, the squamous epithelial cells are granular or dark, which makes the secretions obscure. It is the most sensitive and specific marker for bacterial disease, and clinicians can diagnose bacterial disease based on positive amine tests and Gardnerella.

In general, this is a detailed explanation of the normal pH value of leucorrhea in routine examination. I hope it can help everyone. There are many reasons for abnormal leucorrhea, and each disease causes different abnormal leucorrhea. Therefore, patients should not blindly choose treatment after abnormal leucorrhea, which will aggravate the condition. The first thing to do is to understand the cause of the disease, and then you can treat it in time.
