Why does my female PH level get out of wack after having sex? Is there any way to avoid this?

the best thing to do is to drink a glass of cranberry juice as it lines ur inside and helps maintain a healthy equilibrium.  Also where possible urinate after making love as it promotes a neutral ph urinary tract.

Have you had sex with anyone that you are unsure of. that could be one thing, but usually when you have T.O.M (time of the month) that can happen, you are loosing a lot of blood at once. if you have never had this before I would check in with your doc. give her a call and see if it is OK, if not you could always go in and have it checked.

You should see a doctor and find out what to do.  \n\nYou need to note when you get them. . .after kissing someone, performing oral sex, eating foods high in acid. . .there may be an over the counter medication that can help for that.

Your gyno is right. Your body has a natural system for cleaning down there - thats partly what your discharge is for. If you use anything down there thats scented or will unbalance the pH then you will be more at risk for infections like thrush and UTI's.

You need to see a new doc if your regular doc did not do anything to check this out.  Find a doc who specializes in female problems.  It might be medical or it might be that just that you need more lubrication like using astroglide.  Either way see a doc who will help you with this problem as this is nothing something that should be left untreated.

You have bacterial vaginosis and douching will only make it worse!! Unless you douche with boric acid that is the only kind of douche that ould help. Stay away from perfumes of any kind down there.\n\nIf you can spare $5 or so go get a bottle of acidopholus... take it twice a day for a week. Then once a day for another week. Try to always keep a bottle of it around. If you are noticing that it is coming back, then your sex partner could be a carrier and he needs to be treated as well. I am not sure that acidopholus would work for him. He may need antibiotics. \n\nYou may notice that it is worse after a tub bath avoid these as much as possible. Nobody really knows what causes it but your vagina is supposed to be an acidic environment when you have BV it turns into a high alkaline environment which is what causes the smell.\n\nMy ex husband was a carrier, he even kept giving it to his ex wife before me. He is an alcholic and also chews not sure if that was the reason but even after he took the antibiotics he was still giving it to me anyway...who knows I am fine now but i still have to avoid tub baths and when I do take one I make sure to take an acidopholus

Foreplay: Keep at it untill you are wet (Not getting wet could be you have a condition, see tyour doctor, or you are too young for sex, stop immediately)\n\nSex should be enjoyable for both partners, but if your partner rushes too fast you can get hurt. Also see your gynocologist. my wife found that I can't get her off in a certain postion due to an inverted unterus, but certain positions work in seconds for her. \n\nBe patient tlak to a doctor, and just take it easy next time.

First of all you should'nt be having "rough sex" in your condition. Secondly go to your Ob/Gyn immediately.

pH levels of (average values):\n\nSemen: 7.35 - 7.50\nVaginal fluids: 4.50 (becomes neutral or alkaline upon menopause)\n\nThere are several reasons why skin irritation could occur, here's a couple of them:\n\na. Your husband's skin might be sensitive to your vaginal fluids (there are cases of that).\n\nb. The spermicidal products (if you use any) is causing hypersensitive reactions.\n\nIt is best you consult a professional GP or Ob&Gyn doctor for futher evaluation.

yes, the vaginal canal is a very tempermental area. Anything upsetting the ph balance can cause an over production of yeast. If you are playing, make sure your playmate has clean hands, and that means under the nails too.

No it is very normal.  Don't worry about it.  You might want to wear a panty liner to help with the moisture.\n\nIt probably increases about a week after your period.  This is the most fertile time.  Also if you get excited.

While there may be a chance you could be pregnant, I doubt it. Most likely it is just you body trying to re-adjust to the chemical balance

yes, changes in hormones = changes in vaginal pH

It sounds normal to me. Sometimes your body produces extra discharge and before your period your body is trying to get rid of it, that's probably why it was a ball and not just something you wiped from your "cooter". don't be scared if it only happen this once, I'm sure it will pass. Now if it happens a lot go to your OBGYN and they can give you antibiotics, which you take for 10 days, to kill the bacteria. it's cool.

sound like cystitis to me you need antibiotics and need to drink plenty of water to flush the bladder out but go to the doctors and tell him/her you worries and woes but next time you have sex please use a condom or you become just another statistic

This could be caused by a vaginal infection. As others have suggested, check with your gyn - sex should not hurt.
