The role of vaginal pH. Importance of its normalization in the prevention of recurrent vaginitis

A sample of 100 women was clinically examined for a very various vulvovaginal symptomatology and an individual diagnosis of vulvovaginitis of different aetiology was established. All women were treated with antibiotic and/or antimycotic drugs on the basis of individual diagnosis. Sixty women had onl...

Summary:A sample of 100 women was clinically examined for a very various vulvovaginal symptomatology and an individual diagnosis of vulvovaginitis of different aetiology was established. All women were treated with antibiotic and/or antimycotic drugs on the basis of individual diagnosis. Sixty women had only this treatment, while 40 women had also a supplementary treatment with a cleanser emulsion characterized by physiologic pH value and an antiseptic activity due to a vegetable extract (Saugella Attiva, Lab. Guieu). The symptomatologic changes due to the two treatments were compared. Combined treatment (drug + antiseptic) obtained better results mostly in subjective symptomatology; this combined treatment was very useful in the recovery of the Doderlein population.
