title: [Vaginal acidity after tumor therapy].
abstract: We examined the vaginal acidity and vaginal status in 225 patients which were treated for a malignant tumor. We found the vaginal pH related to hormonal status, hormonal substitution, age and sexual activity. The vaginal pH could be reduced by estrogen-substitution, but local application of estriol has only a short effect. The determination of vaginal pH is a practically method to control the vaginal homoeostasis.
