This article discusses female intimate health, focusing on the pH balance and potential issues in the vaginal area.
The vaginal pH fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle, with sweat glands playing a key role in maintaining health.

The normal vaginal pH ranges from 3.8 to 4.5, and a fishy smell may indicate poor hygiene, bacterial vaginosis, or STIs. In rare cases, it may signal a health issue like uterine cancer.
