Dr. Tolga Ergin informed him about vaginal infections: "The characteristic of vaginas is that the bacteria themselves take part in the defense of the region against harmful bacteria. Bacteria, which are called lactobacilli and have acidic breeding characteristics, prevent the multiplication of other bacteria that can infect. For this purpose, the hormone stored in the cells of the wall of the vagina by the estrogen hormone is converted into glycogen, sugar and then lactic acid.

Acid medium and infection relationship Acid substance allows the vagina to maintain its acid environment and proliferate lactobacilli. When lactobacilli decline, the acid environment of the vagina degrades and the infection develops.

Some flow is normal Every woman in the age of reproduction has some transparency, slippery and odorless discharge. This normally accepted fluid is called physiological vaginal discharge. This discharge; colorless and odorless, itching does not irritate. Physiological vaginal discharge tends to increase as the day of ovulation approaches the menstrual period.
