Vaginal ecosystem is a circle of life that exists in the vagina. This ecosystem is influenced by two main factors, namely estrogen and lactobacilli (good bacteria). If this balance is disrupted, the bacteria will die lactobacilli and pathogenic bacteria will grow so that the body will be susceptible to infection.

Actually, there are bacteria in the vagina, 95 percent are good bacteria and the remaining bacterial pathogen. To be balanced ecosystem, required level of acidity (pH balance) in the range of 3.8 to 4.2. With the level of acidity, lush lactobacilli and pathogenic bacteria will die.

Many factors cause vaginal ecosystem imbalance, such as oral contraceptives, diabetes mellitus, use of antibiotics, menstrual blood, semen, spraying the liquid into the vagina (douching) and hormone disorders (puberty, menopause or pregnancy). Under normal circumstances the vagina has a characteristic odor. However, if there is an infection or abnormal vaginal discharge can cause odors that bother you, like a bad odor, stinging, and fishy caused by fungi, bacteria or other germs. If the infection in the vagina is left, can go up into the uterus.
