Vaginal pH and microflora related to yeast infections and treatment . The relationship between vaginal pH , microflora , and yeast infection was investigated in 93 women randomly treated with either nystatin or miconazole pessaries and cream for two weeks . The vaginal pH was measured in a control group of 48 women . In the study group , 37 patients defaulted , 39 were cured , and 17 required treatment during the six-month follow-up period . In both study and control groups before and after treatment the mean vaginal pH was in the range of 4.3-4.6 . Lactobacilli were plentiful in 78 ( 91 % ) out of 86 patients and shows that lactobacilli and yeasts commonly coexist . The influence of other organisms appeared to be negligible . The trial showed that nystatin and micromazole were equallly effective in the treatment of vaginal yeast infection and that the broad-spectrum activity of micronazole offered no advantage in this condition .
