Women aged 16 and over.

We recommend using the viola pH Health Care Test twice a week during pregnancy to make sure the vaginal pH is within the normal range and also between antenatal examinations. However, you may perform measurements more often. This is particularly recommended if you have suffered from vaginal infections during previous pregnancies or if you have already had experience with premature birth. For women who are not pregnant it is most effective to perform measurements in case there is suspicion of bacterial vaginosis, fungus infections (dysbiosis), if there are symptoms of burning, itching, fishy odour or discharge, after sexual contact with a new partner and after therapies of vaginal infections as well as after surgical interventions on the vagina.

Insert the vaginal applicator gently into the vagina, in the same way you would use a tampon (approximately 1 – 3 cm into the vagina but not further than to the round handle area). Press the inserted vaginal applicator against the back wall of the vagina with light pressure for approximately 10 seconds (pushing back towards the rectum), so that the pH measurement zone is well moistened. Sufficient moisture is very important for the test evaluation.
