ELANEE Vaginal pH self-test - For detecting vaginal infections If you experience itching, burning or an uncomfortable feeling in the intimate area, there may be a disturbance in the acid-base balance in the vagina, which can promote a bacterial infection. Infections in the vaginal area can often be the trigger for premature births, which is why the pH self-test can help to detect them early and thus reduce the risk of premature birth. With the self-test, the pH value of the vaginal environment can be easily determined from home and the result can be read directly using a color scale on the individual packaging.
