Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of Vaginal pH Test Kits.
The vaginal pH test kit is a home-use kit to measure the vagina’s pH of the cervical mucus. Vaginal bacteria keep the vaginal environment a bit acidic. The acidic environment helps to suppress the overgrowth of bacteria. If abnormal bacteria or infections start it can lead to abnormal vaginal activity.
A vaginal pH test kit helps to determine if the symptoms are caused by a bacterial infection. Determining the right issue is important because not all symptoms are associated with yeast infections. Yeast infections usually don’t result in a change in vaginal acidity. Besides, they can be firstly treated with OTC medication, better diet or home remedies.
However, another common vaginal infection that is connected with acidity, is bacterial vaginosis that happens because of an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) has to be treated with prescription antibiotics. If the results are positive after taking the test, seek medical attention.
