What is a Healthy Vagina?

A healthy vaginal cavity, which is free from any harmful infection, is normally populated with lactobacilli species.

These healthy bacteria help to maintain the vaginal pH less than 4.5 (acidic).

Acidic pH of the vaginal cavity is human body’s natural defense mechanism to fight against harmful bacteria and virus such as Sexually Transmitted Infections or STIs.

Know more about how Cervical Cancer spreads

90% of cervical cancer cases are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), an STI.

Research indicates HPV can remain dormant in the vaginal cavity for 5-10 years without showing symptoms.

During this dormant phase, the pH of vaginal cavity starts increasing.

Most conventional tests for cervical cancer like PAP smear test and VIA test show positive result after minimum 5 years of HPV infection. Therefore, they help is late detection of cervical cancer.

Checking vaginal pH helps to detect HPV infection within first 5 years of infection which is traditionally missed in conventional tests.

Role of vaginal pH in early detection of Cervical Cancer

Vaginal pH is one of the first markers that change with HPV infection.
Since HPV remains dormant for the first 5 years in vaginal cavity, early detection of HPV is nearly impossible due to lack of any physical symptoms.
Vaginal pH is a simple and effective way to screen for HPV infection during this window of dormant phase.
Hence, screening for vaginal pH help in early detection of cervical cancer.

Importance of early detection of Cervical Cancer:

IMPROVED SURVIVAL RATES:

Cervical cancer detected at an early stage is more likely to be treated successfully.

LESS AGGRESSIVE TREATMENT:

Early detection often allows for less invasive treatment options.

PREVENTION OF CANCER PROGRESSION:

Early detection can identify precancerous changes in the cervix, known as cervical dysplasia, which can be treated before they develop into cancer.

LOWER MORTALITY RATES:

Screening programs that promote early detection can lead to a significant reduction in cervical cancer mortality rates.
