Important (and exciting) facts about the different pH of the vagina and semen!
Yes, it is an exciting topic to say the least. If you usually get discomfort in your vagina after sex, take three minutes to read this text, we may have the solution for you. The difference between a woman's vagina and a man's semen is roughly 4 units on the pH scale. In a healthy adult woman, the pH value is in the range of 3.8 to 4.5 and sperm has a pH value of 7.2 to 8. So the environment of the vagina is much more acidic than the sperm. Did you know this, interesting right? The acidic pH of the vagina is important because it helps create a healthy environment that protects against infections and helps regulate the normal vaginal microflora. At the same time, the pH of the sperm is the best for the little swimmers' chance of survival.
When sperm enter the vagina, they face the challenge of surviving the acidic environment. But when sperm reach the cervix, where the environment is more alkaline, the chances of reaching the fallopian tubes and fertilizing an egg are all the better.
For women, sex with male ejaculation means that the low pH of the vagina, which is optimal, is disrupted for some time. For some women this is not noticeable, while for others this imbalance causes great discomfort. For some for a short time and for others for several days. Irritation of the vagina and vagina after sex is not uncommon and it can be due to several causes such as; dryness, soreness after friction, the disturbed pH balance or others.
