                    The Newfoundland Vaginal Infection test determines the pH
of vaginal swab specimens to aid in the diagnosis of common
vaginal infections including bacterial vaginosis (BV). A healthy
vagina has a slightly acidic pH level – between 3.8 to 4.5
– which maintains a balance between the good and bad
bacteria present in the vagina. A change in this pH can be an
indication that you may be suffering from BV. Alternatively,
symptoms such as vaginal itching/burning or a thick, white
discharge could be a sign of a thrush infection.
Risk of vaginal infection can be increased if you are sexually
active, use vaginal hygiene products, are taking antibiotics
or have a health condition that affects your immune system.
Vaginal infections can be very risky for pregnant women and
present a danger to both mother and foetus.
You can reduce your chances of vaginal infection and alleviate
the symptoms by doing the following:
• Use only water and plain soap to wash your genital area.
• Wear loose, cotton underwear.
• Avoid vaginal deodorants, washes or douches.
• Have showers instead of baths.
