【SUMMARY】
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a disease of the vagina caused by excessive growth of bacteria.Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge that often smells like fish.The discharge is usually white or gray in color.Burning with urination may occur.Itching is uncommon.Occasionally, there may be no symptoms.Having BV approximately doubles the risk of infection by a number of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS.It also increases the risk of early delivery among pregnant women.
BV is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria in the vagina.There is a change in the most common type of bacteria and a hundred to thousandfold increase in total numbers of bacteria present.Typically, bacteria other than Lactobacilli become more common.Risk factors include douching, new or multiple sex partners, antibiotics, and using an intrauterine device, among others.However, it is not considered a sexually transmitted infection.Diagnosis is suspected based on the symptoms, and may be verified by testing the vaginal discharge and finding a higher than normal vaginal pH, and large numbers of bacteria.BV is often confused with a vaginal yeast infection or infection with Trichomonas
PH Rapid Test Device is the modern concept of protection for women
A disturbance in the micro ecological balance in the vagina (e.g. dysbiosis) is often connected with an increase in the pH level. Vaginal pH levels that are higher than 4.5 can lead to many gynecological complaints and compilations.
Stay healthy through pregnancy with PH Rapid Test Device
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is diagnosed in approx. 15-20% of all pregnant women.
It increases the risk of these：
- Premature birth
- Chorioamnionitis (amnionitis)
- A premature rupturing of the fetal membrane
- Fever when giving birth
- Post partum endometritis (an infection of the mucus membrane in the uterus after giving birth)
- A bacterial infection of the fetus
With the help of regular self-testing of the vaginal pH level, pregnant women can decrease the risk of infection.The measurement of the vaginal pH level is a fixed component of the program for avoiding premature birth according to Prof. E. Saling.

【TEST PROCEDURE FOR BVPH TEST】
Determining the vaginal pH level is simple and completely pain-free. Relax and follow the steps below exactly.
Wash your hands before starting the test
Open the package, remove a test and open the foil. Only touch the applicator in the round handle area
Hold the applicator in the handle area between your thumb and index finger, as shown in diagram.
The thumb should always be kept on the side of the vaginal applicators opposite to the pH measurement zone. If you use the vaginal applicator in this way, each test will be performed correctly.
Avoid the pH measurement zone coming into contact with other liquids.
Sit with your knees spread or with one foot on the toilet seat or other firm surface
Now use your free hand to gently spread the vaginal opening, carefully separating the outer labia
Insert the vaginal applicator gently into the vagina, in the same way that you would use a tampon, see diagram 2.
(approx. 1 inch into the vagina – but not further than the round handle area)
Inserting the vaginal applicators is completely pain-free.
Now press the inserted tube against the back wall of the vagina with light pressure for approx. 10 seconds (pushing back towards the rectum), so that the pH measurement zone becomes well moistened.
Sufficient moisture is very important for the test evaluation.
Now carefully remove the vaginal applicator from the vagina.
Read the result immediately after removing the vaginal applicators, while the measurement zone is still damp. Compare the color in the pH measurement zone with the color scale and note the value on the color scale that is most similar to the pH level you have measured. After evaluation, you may dispose of the used applicator with the regular household waste.
IMPORTANT: If the pH measurement does not display a uniform color after the test has been performed, this is a warning that the test has not been performed properly. A possible cause is that the pH measurement zone was not sufficiently moistened with vaginal secretion. If this is the case, you can perform the measurement again with the same vaginal applicator. However, you can also use a new test.
