title: Postcoital test after vaginal washing with NaHCO3.
abstract: The Authors treated with vaginal washing of NaHCO3 (Sodium Bicarbonate) 55 patients whose postcoital tests were persistently poor or negative. The cervical pH increase made the test positive in about 30% of cases and three pregnancies occurred. This treatment with NaHCO3 proved to be useful, handy and welcome to patients.
