How Can PH Balance In The Vagina Be Restored?
I am a 67 yr old woman and have been having a problem with ph balance in the vagina. My doctor prescribed Cleocin vaginal ovules which I used but it has come back with symptoms itching, irritation and discharge. I am taking Probiotic using a vagina moisturizer. Can you make a suggestion?

Hi,
Careful cleaning of vagina by avoiding strong soaps, douches and treatment for vaginal candidiasis followed by use of probiotic containing vaginal pessaries would help. Avoiding sexual contact with infected person is essential (or treatment of the spouse). This would help in prevention of infection and maintenance of good vaginal hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
